Scientists have identified co-dopants that can increase the photovoltaic performance of transparent metal oxides such as ZnO, In<\/span>2<\/span>O<\/span>3<\/span> and SnO<\/span>2<\/span> thereby creating the potential for more efficient, better performing and more stable solar cells.<\/span><\/p>\n

Background<\/b><\/h5>\n

Silicon is the most common semiconductor material used in solar cells. <\/span>However, now efforts are being made around the world to develop cost-effective options.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perovskites have emerged as a leading candidate for eventually replacing silicon as the material of choice for solar panels.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Perovskite<\/b> solar cell?<\/b><\/h5>\n

A perovskite solar cell consists of a perovskite layer as the light absorber, sandwiched between the electron transport layer (ETL) coated with transparent conducting glass and hole transport layer (HTL) coated with a metal back contact electrode.<\/span><\/p>\n

They represent the most exciting approach to build solar cells that are inexpensive and highly efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists have identified co-dopants that can increase the photovoltaic performance of transparent metal oxides such as ZnO, In<\/span>2<\/span>O<\/span>3<\/span> and SnO<\/span>2<\/span> thereby creating the potential for more efficient, better performing and more stable solar cells.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, when aluminium (Al) and lanthanum (La) metals were used as suitable dopants in Tin oxide(SnO<\/span>2<\/span>), they amplified the photovoltaic performance, reproducibility and stability of the solar cell significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> Doping is the practice of introducing very small amounts of certain foreign atoms into the crystal lattice of a semiconductor to modify its electrical properties. These foreign atoms are referred to as dopants.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
