Semi-transparent perovskite solar cells (Pero-SCs) are realized by tuning the band gap of the perovskite to resolve the trade-off between the transparency and efficiency of the photo-absorber. We synthesized wide-bandgap MAPbI3−xBrx perovskite, and the transparency and efficiency of the corresponding semi-tr
In most of the perovskite solar cells, including the ones discussed earlier in this Focus Review, the back contact is a relatively thick (∼70 nm or more) metal film, which because of a high refractive index, blocks the light from passing through it. In order to make a fully semitransparent perovskite solar cell, a transparent contact is needed.
Experimental findings reveal that the prepared semi-transparent perovskite solar cells can effectively filter the solar spectrum, and reduce glare. However, these advancements also result in increased indoor lighting energy consumption. This paper introduces a comprehensive evaluation methodology to address the identified research gaps.
Tandem semi-transparent perovskite used a semi-transparent device in a tandem solar cell. The idea of the device is that the top solar cell is semi-transparent, and the bottom is an opaque solar cell.
Beside tandem solar cell applications, semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs) attracted attention because of their potential application in see-through building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs). (17) BIPVs represent a promising option to incur building energy demand.
The development of semitransparent perovskite cells not only contributes to the building-integrated PV (BIPV) technology but also advances the tandem solar cell configuration where perovskite and Si or CIGS technologies are combined.
