Perovskite solar cells fabricated using dicarboxylic fullerene derivatives

Abstract

Perovskite solar cells were first fabricated in dye sensitized solar cells. But also, perovskite hybrid solar cells were demonstrated to be among the most promising candidates within the emerging photovoltaic materials with their high power conversion efficiencies and low-cost fabrication. In this work, we design and synthesize a novel benzoic acid fullerene bis adduct material (BAFB) for use in perovskite hybrid organic–inorganic solar cells. The obtained maximum efficiency is reported to be 9.63% using a novel benzoic acid fullerene bis adduct (BAFB) for perovskite heterojunction solar cells.
