Carbon Nanomaterials for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells

T. Swetha, Surya Prakash Singh

Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become the future candidates for the replacement of silicon solar cells with an efficiency exceeding 25%. PSCs have significant features like high absorption coefficient, better carrier mobility, and tunable bandgap. Despite these advantages, there are various challenges to reaching better efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness. To address these challenges, there is a necessity to develop new materials and modification of the conventional device architecture. In this scenario, Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as the promising component for fabricating the PSCs. CNTs have attractive features that can offer unique advantages to enhance stability and device performance. In this chapter, we have discussed the utilization of CNTs in PSCs.
