TITLE Design and Fabrication of Perovskite-Sensitized Solar Cells: Assessing Photovoltaic Performance
ABSTRACT The present study reports the design, fabrication, and photovoltaic performance assessment of perovskite-sensitized solar cells (PSCs/PSSCs) using lead-free tin-based perovskite materials. MASnI₃ and MASnCl₃ were synthesized and employed as photosensitizers in DSSC-type device architectures. The study demonstrates the promising potential of lead-free tin-based perovskite sensitizers for photovoltaic applications and underscores the importance of halide composition in optimizing device performance.
