ABSTRACT
Solar cells that are semitransparent and highly efficient can find diverse applications in automobile windows, building walls, and wearable devices. Here, we present a semitransparent perovskite thin-film solar cell with an Ag nanogrid transparent electrode, where electrospun poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) nanofibers are used as an etching mask. Directional electrospinning has allowed us to obtain a grid-shaped electrode of well-aligned Ag nanogrids. The performance of transparent electrodes can be controlled by the electrospinning conditions and the choice of substrate materials. We theoretically analyze the transmittance and sheet resistance of the electrode. Furthermore, transferable Ag nanogrid transparent electrodes are fabricated on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) substrates for application in semitransparent perovskite solar cells. Using an electrode that shows a high transmittance (92.7%) with a low sheet resistance (18.0 Ω·sq-1), a semitransparent perovskite thin-film solar cell demonstrates average visible wavelength transmittance, power conversion efficiency, and light utilization efficiency rates as high as 25.2, 12.7, and 3.21%, respectively.
