A Mini Review: Can Graphene Be a Novel Material for Perovskite Solar Cell Applications?
Abstract Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have raised research interest in scientific community because their power conversion efficiency is comparable to that of traditional commercial solar cells (i.e., amorphous Si, GaAs, and CdTe). Apart from that, PSCs are lightweight, are flexible, and have low p...
