Abstract
Advanced multifunctional materials for renewable energy applications and its performance optimization become potential. The present work reveals structural morphology and its size variation of bi-function NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+ influence on the energy conversion performance of dye-sensitized and lead-free perovskite solar cells. Through a facile hydrothermal method, by varying of pH of the materials, the shape and size of the resultant compound are changed. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms its phase, and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies witnessed its shapes with size variation. Results of emission, reflectance studies support bi-function property of upconversion (UC), light scatter nature. NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+ with pH 3-assisted co-sensitize dye-sensitized solar cells revealed higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 12.77% compared to other devices of UC-5, UC-7, and UC-9. The lead-free CH3NH3SnI3 (MASnI3)-based perovskite solar cell attained 1.36% power conversion efficiency.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics is an established refereed companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on materials and their applications in modern electronics, covering the ground between fundamental science, such as semiconductor physics, and work concerned specifically with applications. It explores the growth and preparation of new materials, as well as their processing, fabrication, bonding and encapsulation, together with the reliability, failure analysis, quality assurance and characterization related to the whole range of applications in electronics. The Journal presents papers in newly developing fields such as low dimensional structures and devices, optoelectronics including III-V compounds, glasses and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, conducting polymers, thick film materials and new contact technologies, as well as the established electronics device and circuit materials.
