This book was released on 2017 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on intrinsic and emergent properties of a novel crystalline compound, methylammonium lead iodide perovskite, a material that has been at the center of intense research for the last decade due both to its unusual hybrid organic-inorganic crystal structure and its promising photovoltaic performance. The research contained herein approaches this material from two distinct perspectives. The first half of this thesis aims to provide a rigorous characterization of the perovskite’s behavior as a light absorber and photoconverter within the context of a thin film solar cell. By systematically tracking the wavelength-dependent light harvesting and photocoversion efficiencies of perovskite-based solar, and by comparing these efficiencies across perovskite-based solar cells with certain architectural modifications, we acquire a more complete understanding of the originof photovoltaic action of the perovskite, and are thus able to determine some clear design rules that maximize the emergent properties for which this material has become so well known.Importantly, in this first half of the dissertation, we provide detailed instructions on how to perform such rigorous analysis of solar cell technology in general. This analytical paradigm, known as combined optical and electronic loss analysis, can be used to build a thorough understanding of the specific strengths and weaknesses of either individual solar cells or entire classes of solar cells. Our analysis of perovskite-based solar cells that employ TiO2 as the electron-transporting layer provides insight both into the limitations of popular photovoltaic motifs – namely that of the ubiquitous mesoporous solar cell – for this important class of absorber, as well as the limitations of the analysis itself, and we discuss in detail the importance of correctly accounting for the effects of diffuse light scattering.The second half of this dissertation explores the intrinsic thermal properties of methylammonium lead iodide. Bulk thermal conductivity measurements performed on pellets of compressed methylammonium lead iodide, as well as some reference materials, yield a wealth of information on the vibrational properties of the perovskite’s unique unit cell. Our work represents a much needed definitive empirical demonstration of the effect of molecular motion of the methylammonium cation onthermal transport in the perovskite lattice.Furthermore, the organic-inorganic compound’s intrinsic thermal instability is also explored using thermal analysis. The thermal instability of methylammonium lead halides is a widely discussed problem in the field of perovskite-based solar cells, and is perhaps the greatest hurdle that this technology must overcome for costeffective commercialization. One of the key factors that exacerbates this issue is the extremely low thermal conductivity of methylammonium lead iodide. We use thermal analysis and crystallographic characterization to show that it is potentially possible tomitigate this issue. In the last chapter of this dissertation, we present a proof-of conceptstudy that suggests that a controlled partial degradation can significantly raise a bulk perovskite’s thermal conductivity, even while most of the perovskite lattice remains intact.Taken together, our analyses of methylammonium lead iodide either as a light absorber or as a heat (non-)conductor point towards a plethora of possible nanoengineering strategies that can improve the stability and photocurrent generation in this important new class of photovoltaic material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perovskite is a well-known structure with the chemical formula ABX3, where A and B are cations coordinated with 12 and 6 anions, respectively, and X is an anion. When a halogen anion is used, the monovalent A and divalent B cations can be stabilized with respect to a tolerance factor ranging from ~0.8 to 1. Since the first report on ~10% efficiency and long-term stability of solid-state perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in 2012 and two subsequent seed reports on perovskite-sensitized solar cells in 2009 and 2011, PSCs have received increasing attention. The power conversion efficiency of PSCs was certified to be more than 25% in 2020, surpassing thin-film solar cell technologies. Methylammonium or formamidinium organic ion–based lead iodide perovskite has been used for high-efficiency PSCs. The first report on solid-state PSCs triggered perovskite photovoltaics, leading to more than 23,000 publications as of October 2021. In addition, halide perovskite has shown excellent performance when applied to light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors, and resistive memory, indicating that halide perovskite is multifunctional. This book explains the electro-optical and ferroelectric properties of perovskite and details the recent progress in scalable and tandem PSCs as well as perovskite LEDs and resistive memory. It is a useful textbook and self-help study guide for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students of materials science and engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, and nanotechnology; for researchers in photovoltaics, LEDs, resistive memory, and perovskite-related opto-electronics; and for general readers who wish to gain knowledge about halide perovskite.
