Fluorescence quantum yield role on the Perovskite solar cell efficiency

Abstract

At the moment the use our society makes of the available energy sources is far from optimal. Only a small 5% fraction of the energy used for the electricity production comes from new renewable energy sources. For over several decades, in an attempt to maximize sunlight energy harvesting, researchers in thin film devices have been searching for the optimal materials. Out of the many thin film cell options available one of the most promising is the one based on perovskites. According to the NREL chart the efficiency of such cells almost doubled in just two years. These attrac
