Abstract

The efficiency of Sn-perovskite solar (Sn-PVK) cells was enhanced by adding 1% Samarium iodide (SmI2). Increase in Jsc and FF is associated with the enhancement of efficiency and and explained by lower series resistance. SmI2 is known as a strong reducing agent and is oxidized to Sm3+ by reducing a substrate. By adding 1 and 5% SmI2, the carrier concentration of Sn-perovskite layer due to the presence of Sn4+ was decreased from 4.8
