The organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells have received tremendous attention due to their high power conversion efficiency and cost-effective fabrication. For inverted planar structures, the hole transport materials (HTMs) play a significant role in achieving efficient and hysteresis-free perovskite solar cells by improving charge extraction, minimizing interfacial recombination and modifying the band alignment. In this thesis, solution-processed nickel oxide (NiOx) and manganese doped nickel oxide (Mn:NiOx) thin films were deposited with a post-deposition heat treatment in the range of 300 – 450 oC and effects on the structural, optical and electrical properties, as well as photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cell, were investigated. Manganese (Mn) doped NiOx thin film was produced to enhance the charge extraction capability of NiOx without compromising the optical properties. Nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate and different amounts of manganese (II) acetate tetrahydrate salts were used to prepare Mn:NiOx precursor solutions. For characterization, X-ray diffraction, Uv-Vis Spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, I-V, and external quantum efficiency (EQE) measurements were performed. It was demonstrated that the Mn doping into NiOx thin films enhances the perovskite solar cell efficiency and minimizes hysteresis.

Selective emitter formation via single step doping through laser patterned mask oxide layer for monocrystalline silicon solar cells Çiftpınar, Emine Hande; Turan, Raşit; Department of Physics (2014) Selective emitter is one of the new approaches for higher efficiency solar cells. Although selective emitter cells could be processed by several different methods such as; etch back process, laser doping, ion implantation, doping paste, a different method based on diffusion through a laser patterned oxide layer was studied in this thesis. Utilization of pattern oxide layer as a diffusion barrier enables to obtain selective emitter profile via single step doping which reduces overall production cost and time...
PASSIVATION OF SILICON SOLAR CELLS VIA LOW TEMPERATURE WET CHEMICAL OXIDATION KÖKBUDAK, GAMZE; Çiftpınar, Emine Hande; DEMİRCİOĞLU, OLGU; Turan, Raşit (2016-12-01) In the development of high efficiency crystalline Si solar cells, decreasing bulk and surface recombination velocities of the minority carriers is vital. As the bulk recombination could be suppressed by enhancing the material quality, the effect of surface recombination on cell performance becomes more dominant. Also, recent studies have revealed that the area under the metal contacted region needs to be passivated to minimize the carrier recombination. The passivation of front and back surface of the cell ...
Fabrication and characterization of PEDOT:PSS hole transport layers for silicon solar cells Türkay, Deniz; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2019) Heterojunction silicon solar cells have gained considerable interest in recent years with the demonstration of record-high device performances. However, these devices are typically based on inorganic layers fabricated at high temperatures under vacuum environment, using toxic precursors. The low temperature budget, non-toxic chemical contents, and wide range of adjustability in physical and electrical properties make poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) a promising candidate a...
Simulation Studies of Hole Textured and Planar Microcrystalline Silicon Solar Cell at Different Zenith Angle Zainab, Sana; Hussain, Shahzad; Altinoluk, Serra H.; Turan, Raşit (2017-09-23) Efficiency of solar cell greatly depends on its interaction with input solar irradiance. For highly efficient solar cell, absorption of input light should be maximum at all angles. Different surface texturing techniques like pyramid texturing, cone texturing, pillar texturing have been used to increase absorption of light in solar cell. Micro-hole Surface texturing is getting popular in absorption of solar radiation at higher zenith angle. In this paper, effect of varying zenith angle on hole textured solar...
NOVEL HOLE TRANSPORT, LARGE AMMONIUM CATION and DOPANT MATERIALS FOR REALIZATION OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELLS Bağ Çelik, Esra; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2023-2-24) Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been widely studied for their potential to revolutionize the solar energy industry. Unfortunately, the commercialization of PSCs remains challenging due to the limitation of high-performance, low-cost, and environmentally stable organic hole-transport materials (HTMs). For this reason, the development of a new generation HTMs is strongly anticipated. Hole transport material (HTM) is one of the critical components in perovskite solar cells, which is responsible for transpor...
