dc.description.abstract | Despite the remarkable progress made by hybrid perovskite thin film materials CH3NH3PbI3 in the arena of thin film photovoltaics, their shift to penetrating the commercial market is still an on-going research due to poor intrinsic stability and the issue of eco-toxicity posed by metal Pb. The chief aim of this study was to prepare air-stable hybrid perovskite thin film materials incorporating earth abundant and non-toxic transition metals which include Ni, Cu & Zn (doped at 1, 5 and 10%); CH3NH3PbI3•Ni, CH3NH3PbI3•Cu & CH3NH3PbI3•Zn, employing a two-step solution deposition technique. The terephthalic acid (TPA) additive was utilized to stabilize thin film materials from deterioration upon exposure to air. | en_US |
