Control of ZnO nanowires growth in flexible perovskite solar cells: A mini-review

Résumé

Due to their excellent properties, Zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NW) have been attractive and considered as a promising electron transporting layer in flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs). Since the first report on ZnO NWs-based FPSCs giving 2.6% power conversion efficiency (in 2013), great improvements have been made, allowing to reach up to ̴ 15% nowadays. However, some issues still need to be addressed, especially on flexible substrates, to achieve uniform and well-aligned ZnO NWs via low-cost chemical solution techniques. Several parameters, such as the growing method (time, temperature, precursors concentration), addition of seed layer (thickness, roughness, annealing temperature) and substrate (rigid or flexible), play a crucial role in ZnO NWs properties (i.e., length, diameter, density and aspect ratio). In this review, these parameters allowing to control the properties of ZnO NWs, like the growth techniques, utilization of seed layers and the growing method (time or precursors concentration) have been summarized. Then, a particular focus on the ZnO NW's role in flexible perovskite solar cells as well as the use of these results on the development of ZnO NWs-based FPSCs have been highlighted.
