Deep level trapped defect analysis in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells by deep level transient spectroscopy
Showcasing research from Gabseok (Sean) Seo and Prof. Tae Kyu Ahn at Sungkyunkwan University, the Republic of Korea, Dr Sung Heo’s and Dongwook Lee’s group at the Samsung Advanced Institute and Technology, and Dr Yonghui Lee and Prof. Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin at École Polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Sion, Switzerland.
Perovskite solar cells (PSC) have revolutionised PV research and hold the potential to lead the scenario of near-future
low-cost energy generation enabling the global transition to a low-carbon society. We found fewer defects in the cuboid
prepared perovskite sample compared to that using the one-step deposition method, demonstrating the influence of deposition techniques.
