    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Renewable Energy
    • Photovoltaics

    Background:

    • Back-contact perovskite solar cells reduce parasitic absorption but suffer from increased surface reflection.
    • High refractive index mismatch at the air/perovskite interface causes significant light loss.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To mitigate surface reflection losses in perovskite solar cells.
    • To enhance light absorption and overall device efficiency using an antireflective coating.

    Main Methods:

    • Transfer matrix modeling to optimize antireflective coating thickness.
    • UV-Vis spectroscopy to measure light absorption.
    • Spin coating deposition of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).

    Main Results:

    • An approximately 85 nm thick PMMA layer was identified as optimal.
    • The PMMA coating successfully reduced surface reflection and increased light absorption.
    • A 20-30% relative increase in short circuit current density was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • PMMA serves as an effective antireflective coating for perovskite solar cells.
    • The application of PMMA enhances device performance and power output stability.
    • This method offers a practical approach to improving perovskite solar cell efficiency.
