Perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 Heterojunction Solar Cells via Ultrasonic Spray Deposition

Article Preview

Abstract:

We fabricated the copper oxide (Cu2O or Cu3O4)/perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 heterojunction solar cells via ultrasonic spray deposition technique. Perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin films were sprayed directly from precusor solution onto a copper oxide pre-coated ITO substrate. We analyzed the properties of the as-deposited perovskite thin films. The surface morphologies of Perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin films were examined by optical microscope, and their crystallinities were confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurements. Large CH3NH3PbI3 crystal with grain size of ~20μm was observed. The solar cells device achieved a conversion efficiency of 4.13%.
