Abstract

Hybrid lead halide perovskite structured materials have created enormous expectations for low-cost and high-performance optoelectronic devices. The light-harvesting active layer of perovskite solar cell consists of hybrid organic-inorganic lead halide-based material. In this study, we successfully fabricated the perovskite photovoltaics with partial substitution of the lead cation (Pb2+) with calcium ion (Ca2+). The incorporation of Ca2+ into the original structure was analyzed to observe the doping effect on the crystalline structure and the optical properties. Moreover, UV–vis spectra showed the decreased bandgap with ascending the dopants Ca2+ amount. 1.0 mol% Ca-doped perovskite film has the lower emission energy, and it shows the low recombination behavior. After optimizing the perovskite solar cells, the Voc is increased from 0.93 to 0.98 V, the Jsc is increased from 17.4 to 19.1 mA/cm2 and the power conversion efficiency is enhanced from 10.7 to 12.9% by using 1.0 mol% Ca-doped perovskite material.
