Abstract

In parallel with soaring efficiency, interest in multi-functional semitransparent perovskite solar cells (PeSCs) has emerged for special applications such as windows and tandem cells. To demonstrate air-stable as well as efficient ITO-free semitransparent PeSCs, ultra thin Cu and Ni, which are well-known non-precious metals having sufficient electrical conductivity, are investigated as bottom transparent electrode and optimization of devices is systematically carried out. Semitransparent Ni/NiO _X based PeSC exhibits the average visible transmittance (AVT) of 22% and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.20%. Considering required AVT for the application of power-generating window of ∼25% and recent reports, this result is one of the best performances reported to date.
