Description
Summary:The development of thin film photovoltaic devices based on third and fourth generation materials has attracted the attention of the scientific community worldwide, finding the need to experiment among different assemblies and structurally modified materials to find the best efficiency of converting solar energy into electrical energy. Therefore, in this work, the efficiency of three prototypes of thin-film photovoltaic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) constructed using three sodium-doped samples of BiFeO3 as absorber layers has been evaluated. The assembly was carried out based on an n-i-p architecture obtaining thin-films with glass/ITO/CdS/perovskite/Au/Mo/glass general configuration. The study has led to the conclusion that the efficiency of the assembled photovoltaic devices increases with the insertion of sodium and that the proposed configuration is functional for the construction of thin-film perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
