Abstract
In the realm of photovoltaic, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a groundbreaking technology. Their notable progression in performance efficiency, soaring to 25.7% within a decade, has captured global attention. Contrasted with traditional silicon-based solar cells, PSCs offer distinct advantages including lower fabrication costs and superior tunability. This research concentrates on the integration of carbon-based electrodes within PSCs. Carbon-based materials play a pivotal role in providing both flexible and rigid electrode options. Leveraging carbon electrodes results in heightened photoelectric conversion efficiency. Additionally, their robustness against mechanical deformation renders them ideal for flexible carbon electrodes in photovoltaic solar cells. More specifically, the research delves into three primary categories of carbon materials: pure carbon, mesoporous carbon, and labsynthesized hydrogenated carbons, namely, LH50012 and LH50024, each with varying ratios of these carbon combinations. These considerations are instrumental in augmenting PSC performance and propelling their commercial viability forward.
