Nanomaterials Applicability in Blended Perovskite Solar Cells: To commercialize Lead-free Content, Including Easy End of life Management in Solar Infrastructure

This chapter provides insights about the Perovskite type of Solar Cell (PVSC) that can be utilized as a probable substitute for existing solar panels. Pros of reduced lead participation in chemical structure and better end-of-life supports have boosted research explorations. Combinatorial-based explorations in perovskites have created a collection of various chemical designs with unique properties and improved functionalities. Investigations in terms of catalytic nature, environment adaptability, and spintronic properties provide vivid structural arrangements. But still, constraints based on application-specific composition, raw material utilization, problems of stability issues, and the reduction in lead content are the objectives yet to be achieved at the commercial level. Interlinking of chemical structural, the nature of multiple layers created for building the material can be improvised with nanomaterials integration as detailed in the chapter. Comparative lab results analysis and efforts over raised stability and reduced lead content are taken into the study to present PVSC as upcoming commercialized products. Moreover, future scope briefs about existing nanomaterials composites with improvised electron and hole transport layers. Also, findings related to back electrode-based placement to achieve better efficiency and stability are submitted to reveal suitable obtains of the experiments covered in the study.
