Jsc and Voc don’t exhibit an increasing trend with increase in light intensity. 18 Conclusion • GaP with MAPbI3 in the presence of P3HT forms effective heterostructure photo-detectors due to better device performance as compared to other perovskites evident from (6.89±0.19)E-08 mho/m photo-conductivity, 0.0102 W-1 sensitivity and (1.11±0.26)E-03 A/W responsivity values • P3HT acts as an effective hole transport layer for n-GaP/p-Perovskite heterostructure (except (PEA)2SnBr4 where it acts only as a buffer between metal and semiconductor) as evident from its band gap orientation and photo-conductivity values of devices • Power extracted from PV devices exhibits an optimal behavior due to optimal extraction of charge carriers and hence needs to be used at optimal operating voltage evident from power-voltage characteristics • GaP forms better heterostructure solar cells with 3D perovskites (i.e MAPbI3) as evident from Jsc= (9.46± 0.08) µA/cm2, Voc= (1.5± 0.1) V, Fill Factor= 0.473 and η= 0.067±0.016 % as compared to 2D perovskites ((PEA)2SnI4, (PEA)2SnBr4) 19 Future Work: GaP/3D Perovskite Type II Heterostructure • Al/GaP/MAPbBr3/P3HT/Au • e e e e -3.6 eV P3HT e e e e -3.8 eV MAPbBr3 Au -5.1 eV -5.2 eV -5.9 eV Al -4.2 eV n-GaP • hν h h h h Capacitance-Voltage Characteristics -6.07 eV 25nm Al P3HT MAPbBr3 n-GaP on sapphire Illumination Experimental Device Structure Au 25nm 100 nm 250 nm 0.5 mm Capacitance (nF) h h h h 3.0 2.8 2.6 2.4 2.2 2.0 1.8 1.6 1.4 0 sun 0.02 sun 0.04 sun 0.06 sun 0.08 sun 0.1 sun Capacitance-Frequency Characteristics 0 sun 0.02 sun 0.04 sun 0.06 sun 0.08 sun 0.1 sun 3.00 2.25 Capacitance (nF) -3.2 eV Fabrication and characterization of Al/GaP/MAPbBr3/P3HT/Au and Al/GaP/MAPbBr3/Au devices to confirm the role of exciton dissociation since MAPbBr3 is a p-type 3D perovskite, has high dielectric constant (low exciton dissociation energy) and forms Type II (instead of Type I) heterostructure. It has been observed that capacitance of the devices increase with increase in light intensity and attains a peak value with change in voltage. Also, capacitance decreases with increase in frequency and cut-off frequency increases with decrease in light intensity. Further investigation and research work is necessary to find the cause of this observed phenomena and correlate it Trap DOS using Mott-Schottky plot. Determination of strain parameter at the organic-inorganic heterojunction for different devices and correlate it to device performance. 1.50 0.75 0.00 -2 -1 0 1 Voltage (V) 2 1 10 100 Frequency (kHz) 1000 Doi: https://public.wsu.edu/ pchemlab/documents/Work-functionvalues.pdf, https://www.ioffe.ru/SVA/NSM/Semicond/GaP, https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/10/2/121, https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/9/9/747 20 Acknowledgements • I would like to thank my supervisors Dr. Satyaprasad P.
