Abstract

The present chapter is devoted to the synthesis, properties, and applications of graphitic carbon nitrides in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is an organic semiconducting polymeric material that is analogous in structure to the two-dimensional sp2-hybridized graphene sheets. It is a metal-free polymer with a tunable bandgap of 1.8–2.7 eV. This makes it possible to absorb light in the visible spectrum of 460–698 nm thus converting 13 to 49% of solar energy to useful electrical energy. In PSCs, g-C3N4 acts as a photocatalyst embedded in the light-absorbing layer of the solar cell. Hence, g-C3N4 helps in improving the efficiency of PSCs by assisting in the charge absorption and generation at the light-absorbing layer. Due to their high photoabsorption and photoresponsiveness, semiconducting properties, high stability under physiological conditions, and good biocompatibility, graphitic carbon nitrides have won tremendous attention among researchers recently. Incorporation of g-C3N4 in perovskite absorber layers improves its crystallinity and passivates defects leading to reduced charge carrier recombination which ultimately results in higher power conversion efficiency of PSCs.
