Effect of illumination and applied potential on the electrochemical impedance spectra in triple cation (FA/MA/Cs) 3D and 2D/3D perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Sanghyun Paek, Zubair Ahmad

Even though there has been numerous works performed based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), however, many aspects of the obtained EI spectra are yet to be fully grasped. Moreover, the change of these spectra ...

Assessing mobile ions contributions to admittance spectra and current-voltage characteristics of 3D and 2D/3D perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Sanghyun Paek, Zubair Ahmad

Recently, the 2D perovskite layer is employed as a capping/passivating layer in the perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The 2D perovskite layer is prepared by inserting a large-sized hydrophobic cation spacer into the perovskite crystal lattice. The large-sized ...
