Q2. What have the authors contributed in "Doi: 10" ?
In this paper, the effect of adding small amount of monovalent cation halide based salts including NaI, CuBr, CuI and AgI to the perovskite solution has been explored.
Q3. What is the effect of adding monovalent cations in perovskite films?
Adding of monovalent cations in the perovskite films results in a decrease of EA for hole transport from 198 meV to 137 meV and electron transport from 13 meV to 77 meV.
Q4. What is the effect of additive on the photovoltaic performance of the perovskit?
By increasing the concentration of CuBr to 0.02 mol.L -1 photovoltaic performance of the device revealed an average PCE of 15.4% while further increase in the amount of additive decreases Jsc and open circuit voltage (Voc) which eventually brought down the overall power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the device.
Q5. What is the effect of additives on the surface of perovskite?
these additives can potentially passivate the surface of perovskite film (where there is a missing iodide) and as a result reduce the contact potential difference which is measured by KPFM.
Q6. What are the advantages of organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites?
organic–inorganic metal halide perovskites have been receiving tremendous attention owing to their facile synthesis [1] , low temperature deposition [2] , capability to make flexible devices [3] , and extraordinary optical and electronic properties [4,5] .
Q7. How do the authors determine the optical band gap of pristine and additives based perovs?
By performing scattering subtraction which is proportional to -4 and by applying extrapolation to thelinear part of absorption edge, the authors obtained that optical band gap of all synthesized films to be around 1.58eV, which is in agreement with literature [32] .
Q8. What are the methods of preparing the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite?
In general, there are four methods, which includes one step spin deposition [15] , vacuum vapor deposition [9] , two-step deposition technique [6,16] , and patterning thin film [17] to prepare the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite film.
Q9. What is the effect of changing the anions in the solution on the perovskite?
In addition, it is found that changing the anions from halide to acetate in4the lead source of perovskite solution has an effective influence on the perovskite crystal growth and therefore improves the film quality [20].
Q10. What are the factors that have to be carefully considered to obtain the actual magnitude of S?
factors like injection limited behavior have to be carefully considered to obtain the actual magnitude of 𝜇𝑆𝐶𝐿 in thin films.
Q11. What is the onset voltage of the trap-free space charge limited (TFSCL)?
The onset voltage of the trap-free space charge limited (TFSCL) transport regime is directly related to the density of trap states at the transport level [44] .
Q12. What is the reason for the increase of the Jsc in perovskite solar?
Thus it can be concluded that one of the strategies to increase the Jsc in perovskite solar cells could be to increase the balance between the bulk electron and hole transport.
Q13. What is the effect of the addition of monovalent cations on the charge transport?
It is evident from the charge transport measurements that the addition of monovalent cations strongly affect the balanced charge transport properties and the overall conductivity which is enhance the Jsc of the solar cells (Figure 6b).
Q14. What is the effect of adding monovalent cation halide on the Fermi?
The authors then used Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), an electrical operation mode of scanning force microscopy (SFM), to investigate the effect of adding monovalent cation halide on CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite Fermi level.
