6.Perovskite Solar Cells
Perovskite solar cells consist of perovskite material which is used as light absorber in the cell structure like a dye used in dye sensitized solar cells. Organolead halide solar cells draw the attention of researchers due to optical and electrical properties providing high efficiency and also because of being produced from abundant sources (Kojima et al., 2009).
Perovskite solar cells have perovskite layer which is constrained by electron transport layer (ETL) and hole transport layer (HTL). In order to supply current along the cell, the metal electrode and an anode such as ITO or FTO substrates are added to the structure. The structure of the perovskite solar cell can be manipulated by changing the positions of ETM and HTM or using various metal electrodes. (Tong et al., 2015).
