Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Effects of Alkaline Earth Metal Additives on Methylammonium-Free Lead Halide Perovskite Thin Films and Solar Cells(Wiley, 2022) Yüce, Hürriyet; LaFollette, Diana K.; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Perini, Carlo A.R.; Correa-Baena, Juan-PabloOrganic–inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells are regarded as one of the most promising technologies for the next generation of photovoltaics due to their high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and simple solution manufacturing. Among the different compositions, the formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) photoactive phase has a bandgap of 1.4 eV, which enables the corresponding higher PCEs according to the Shockley–Queisser limit. However, the photoactive crystal phase of FAPbI3 is not stable at room temperature. The most high-performing compositions to date have reduced this problem by incorporating the methylammonium (MA) cation into the FAPbI3 composition, although MA has poor stability at high temperatures and in humid environments, which can limit the lifetime of FAxMA1−xPbI3 films. CsxFA1−xPbI3 perovskites are also explored, but despite better stability they still lag in performance. Herein, the additive engineering of MA-free organic−inorganic lead halide perovskites using divalent cations Sr2+ and Ca2+to enhance the performances of CsxFA1−xPbI3 perovskite compositions is explored. It is revealed that the addition of up to 0.5% of Sr2+ and Ca2+ leads to improvements in morphology and reduction in microstrain. The structural improvements observed correlate with improved solar cell performances at low additive concentrations.Article Citation - WoS: 114Citation - Scopus: 135Perspectives for Solid Biopolymer Electrolytes in Dye Sensitized Solar Cell and Battery Application(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Singh, Rahul; Polu, Anji Reddy; Bhattacharya, B.; Rhee, Hee-Woo; Varlıklı, Canan; Singh, Pramod K.Photovoltaic technologies represent one of the leading research areas of solar energy which is one of the most powerful renewable alternatives of fossil fuels. In a common photovoltaic application the batteries play a key role in storage of energy generated by solar panels. Although it will take time for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and batteries based on biopolymer electrolytes to take their places in the market, laboratory studies prove that they have a lot to offer. Most efficient DSSCs and batteries available in market are based on liquid electrolytes. The advantages of liquid electrolytes are having high conductivity and good electrode-electrolyte interface whereas, disadvantages like corrosion and evaporation limit their future sustainability. Biopolymer electrolytes are proposed as novel alternatives which may overcome the problems stated above. In this review, we focus on fabrication, working principle as well as up to date status of DSSCs and batteries using biopolymer electrolytes. The effects of structural and electrical properties of biopolymer based electrolytes on the solar energy conversion efficiencies of DSSCs and their compatibility with lithium or other salts in battery applications are summarized. Biopolymer electrolyte based DSSCs are categorized on the basis of types of additives and recent outcomes of author's laboratory studies on biopolymer electrolyte based DSSCs and batteries are also presented.
