Synthesis and Characterization of CsPbBr3 for Perovskite Solar Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

Perovskite solar cells are emerging as highly potent and efficient devices as sustainable energy source. The stability issue of hybrid perovskite methyl ammonium lead bromide can be improved by all inorganic perovskites like cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3). The present work is about the synthesis and characterization of CsPbBr3 for efficient perovskite solar cells. The synthesis is carried out using hot injection method. The resulting nanocrystals (NCs) are characterized using XRD, SEM, AFM, UV/Vis Spectroscopy, PL spectroscopy and Hall Effect measurements. The NCs are tested for their performance in solar cells.
