Abstract

Glass texturing is a sufficient method for changing the surface morphology to enhance the light trapping. In this study, glass texturing was applied to the perovskite solar cell for improving the current density. Glass substrates (back-side glass of FTO coated glass substrate) were textured by randomly structure assisted wet etching process using diluted HF solution at a constant concentration of etchants (HF:H2O=1:1). Then, the light trapping properties of suitable films were controlled over a wide range by varying the etching time (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 min.). The surface texturing changed the reflected light in an angle that it can be reflected by substrate glass surface. As a result, Current density and cell efficiency were affected by light trapping layer using glass texturing method in perovskite solar cells.
