Improving the light harvesting and colour range of methyl ammonium lead tri-bromide (MAPbBr3) perovskite solar cells through co-sensitisation with organic dyes.

Co-sensitisation of methylammonium lead tri-bromide perovskite solar cells with red (D205) and blue (SQ2) organic dyes improves device efficiencies and allows device colour tuning. Sensitising the film after perovskite crystallisation produces higher device efficiencies (2.6% SQ2, 3.1% D205) than perovskite-only devices (2%) and devices sensitised before the perovskite layer deposition (1.5% SQ2, 2.0% D205).
