Abstract
Toxicity as well as chemical instability issues of halide perovskites based on organic–inorganic lead-containing materials still remains the main drawbacks for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we discuss the preparation of copper (Cu)-based hybrid materials, where we replace lead (Pb) with non-toxic Cu metal for lead free perovskite solar cells; investigate of its potential towards solar cells applications based on experimental and theoretical studies.
The formation of (CH3NH3)2CuX4 [(CH3NH3)2CuCl4, (CH3NH3)2CuCl2I2, and (CH3NH3)2CuCl2Br2] were discussed in details. Furthermore, founding chlorine (Cl-) in the structure is critical for the stabilization of the formed compounds. Cu-based perovskite-like materials illustrated attractive absorbance features extended to the near-infrared, with appropriate band gaps. Green photoluminescence of these materials obtained due to Cu+ ions. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) measured experimentally and estimated theoretically for different architectures of solar cell devices.
