Descripción
Sumario:In this work, high-quality lithium-based, [Formula: see text] upconversion (UC) thin film was electrodeposited on fluorene-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass for solar cell applications. A complete perovskite solar cell (PSC) was fabricated on top of the FTO glass coated with UC thin film and named (UC-PSC device). The fabricated UC-PSC device demonstrated a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.1%, an additional photocurrent, and a better fill factor (FF) of 76% in comparison to the pristine PSC device (PCE = ~16.57%; FF = 71%). Furthermore, the photovoltaic performance of the UC-PSC device was then tested under concentrated sunlight with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 24% without cooling system complexity. The reported results open the door toward efficient PSCs for renewable and green energy applications.
