| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we have focused on bismuth iodide (BiI3), which is lead-free, and thus has less environmental impact. A BiI3 thin-film was prepared by spin-coating a solution of BiI3 in N,N-dimethylformamide. From the optical measurements, the band gap energy of BiI3 was estimated to be 1.8 eV and the absorption coefficient was higher than 10000 cm-1 at wavelengths of less than 670 nm. Printable thin-film solar cells were fabricated with a FTO/compact-TiO2/porous-TiO2/BiI3/spiro-MeOTAD/Au structure using BiI3 as the light-absorbing layer. The solar cell fabricated with a BiI3 thin film annealed at 70 °C had an open-circuit voltage of 0.25 V, a short-circuit current density of 0.96 mA/cm2, a fill factor of 0.42, and a conversion efficiency of 0.10%.
