Abstract

Abstract: A perovskite sensitized solar cell (PSSC) comprising ethyl ammonium tri-lead iodide (CH3 CH2 NH3 PbI3 ) and solid polymer electrolyte have been successfully fabricated and reported in this paper. Perovskite was synthesized by direct deposition of equimolar CH3 CH2 NH3 I and PbI2 in dimethylformamide (DMF) solution. It was further characterized using various experimental tools like XRD, UV–visible, SEM and EDAX. The fabricated PSSC showed a short circuit current density (Jsc ) = 1.16 mA/cm 2, open circuit voltage (Voc ) = 0.70 V, fill factor (FF) = 0.67 and efficiency (ɳ) = 0.75% at one sun condition. Comparative data between PSSC and dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) are also discussed in this paper. Highlights: Pervoskite solar cell using solid polymer electrolyte. PSSC shows higher efficiency than DSSC. High efficiency mechanism explanation.
