Perovskite materials
Gavranović, Stevan ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis is focused on a study of electrical properties of perovskite single crystals prepared by inverse temperature crystallization (ITC). Measurements were done on the organic-inorganic halide perovskite monocrystal MAPbBr3 and on the completely inorganic halide perovskite monocrystal CsPbBr3. Crystalline structure and chemical composition of prepared single crystals were determined using x-ray diffraction analysis. Current-voltage characteristics of perovskite monocrystals were measured using solar simulator. Hole carrier mobility were calculated from determined current-voltage characteristics using SCLC method. Furthermore, the dependencies of dielectric permittivity on frequency of alternating current were measured. MAPbBr3 single crystal showed better electrical properties (higher hole carrier mobilities) than CsPbBr3.

Blahut, Jan ; Pospíšil, Jan (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the study of the optical properties of thin films of perovskites and their precursors. The first two chapters of the theoretical part are theoretical introduction to the studied problems, they discuss the basics of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with matter and basic informations about perovskite materials, especially their semiconductor structure. The remaining two chapters deal with specific principles and practical uses of methods and procedures for the preparation of thin films, as well as the instrumentál characteristics of thin films in terms of their optical properties. The experimental part is focused on the preparation of solutions of perovskites and their precursors, where the replication and optimization of published procedures took place, the preparation of thin layers of these solutions by the spin coating method and their ellipsometric characterization using the Tauc plot method, modeling and fitting of the experimentally determined data, which led to the determination of the index refraction, absorption coefficient and band gap width of individual materials.

Jančík, Ján ; Částková, Klára (referee) ; Todorov, Petar (referee) ; Krajčovič, Jozef (advisor)
Ve všech oblastech současného průmyslu zažívají pokročilé materiály extrémní romzmach, a to díky neustálé miniaturizaci součástek a elektroniky, vytváření chytrých a funkčních materiálů, vývoji nových terapeutických a diagnostických metod a v neposlední řadě zdokonalování a zefektivňování výrobních procesů. Významné postavení v tomto systému má sektor organické elektroniky, ve kterém řada technologických firem a investorů vidí velkou budoucnost. K prokázání flexibility, všestrannosti a škálovatelnosti pokročilých materiálů byly syntetizované a zkumané zcela nové adamantanem substituované polythiofeny. Tyto polymery jako silné konkurenty komerčně využívaných materiálů ukazují, že oblast organické elektroniky dosud nedosáhla svých hranic. Byla provedena rozsáhlá charakterizace a studium nových polymerů. Pro rozšíření záběru výzkumu byla navržena, připravena a zkoumána řada zcela nových fotospfotospínačů na bázi para-bis(2-thienyl)fenylenu jako dalšího typu pokročilých organických materiálů. Podle aktuálních trendů byly zkoumány i perovskitové materiály. Byla vyvinuta a optimalizována zcela nová, k životnímu prostředí šetrná, nízkonákladová a snadno do velkovýroby tranformovatelná metoda pro přípravu čtyř nejčastěji používaných hybridních perovskitových makrokrystalů. Tato metoda by mohla být odpovědí pro průmyslovou výrobu vysoce kvalitních, bezchybných a symetrických perovskitových krystalů a zařízení. Na druhou stranu byly zkoumány různé druhy perovskitových nanočástic za účelem zlepšení stability a vlastností. Byla zkoumána základní stabilizace za pomocí ligandů se zaměřením na ligandy na bázi adamantanu a pro zlepšení vlastností byla navržena stabilizace za pomocí polymerní matrice. Jako vodivá matrice pro perovskitové nanočástice byly použity adamantylem substituované polythiofeny ve formě tenkých vrstev.

Development and Innovation of Manufacturing Processes for Thin-Film Solar Cell Functional Layers
Kadlec, Michal ; Vanýsek, Petr (referee) ; Tauš, Peter (referee) ; Vaněk, Jiří (advisor)
The doctoral thesis deals with a group of thin-film photovoltaic cells based on pigment or perovskite absorption layers of light energy. The principal functionality of the cell is based on the capture of light by the pigment on a photosensitized semiconductor anode with subsequent regeneration of the pigment by the electrolyte. In our research we focused on the preparation and optimization of perovskite solar structures based on TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3. A total of six series of experimental solar cells with a perovskite structure were produced. The first two series were realized according to the chemical formula CH3NH3PbI3. In the other series, we applied the theory of added chlorine, resulting in the chemical formula CH3NH3PbI3Cl2. We defined the requirements for the creation of an active perovskite structure in the cell and determined its photovoltaic properties depending on the composition.

Study of electric properties of thin films of perovskite precursors
Harna, Václav ; Pospíšil, Jan (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
High efficiency perovskite solar cells may be the solution to obtain cheap renewable solar energy. However, characteristics of crystalline perovskite materials suitable for solar cells are not yet all clearly understood. In this thesis was studied and optimized the preparation of perovskite methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr3) crystals using anti solvent vapor assisted crystallization (AVC). These crystals were prepared and studied in a small channel between two carbon electrodes on 3D printed substrate made from polylactic acid (PLA) connected to a larger electrode system were measuring took place. Electrical properties of prepared crystal structures were studied using current voltage characteristic and the process of crystallization was documented. Crystal prepared by AVC method achieved sizes larger than 0,5 mm, their electrical conductance increased with their size and the crystals were photo and thermal sensitive. During crystallization of MAPbBr3 precursors from solution was found that a certain structural change exhibiting an increase in electrical conductance takes place in the presence of MABr. The setup of PLA substrate and measuring electrode system creates great opportunities for study of other perovskite materials and may be able to uncover some of the mysteries that these fascinating materials hold.

Optical characterization of perovskite nanostructures
Urban, Jakub ; Kvapil, Michal (referee) ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor)
The present bachelor's thesis focuses on the optical characterization of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals ranking among the group of materials called perovskites which are remarkable for their high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield. An algorithm for a correlation of experimental data measured by PL mapping with morphological and topological properties obtained by using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy has been developed which clears the way for a particular crystal detection and their spectrum analysis. Specifically, crystals the shape of which can be approximated by a cuboid have been detected and the volume dependence of the centre of mass of their PL, which is proportional to V^(-2/3) as predicted by the theorethical model, has been discovered. The measurement of PL dependency on temperatures ranging from 40 to 60 °C has also been conducted and in this temperature interval linear dependence of the full width at half maximum of their PL spectral line that rises with rising temperature has been confirmed. On the contrary, the centre of mass of PL has been found to be temperature independent.

Nuclear magnetic resonance of Pb(x)Ba(1-x)(FeNb)0.5O3 perovskites
Adamec, Martin ; Chlan, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Kohout, Jaroslav (referee)
Temperature dependences of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of isotopes 207 Pb, 137 Ba, and 93 Nb in polycrystalline samples of PbxBa1-x(FeNb)0.5O3, with x = 0 (BFN), 0.5 (PBFN), 1 (PFN) and in Pb(FeNb)0.5O3 single crystal (PFN SC) were acquired. Measured nuclear magnetic resonance spectra are analyzed in this work. The temperature dependence of the spectra show strong broadening with decreasing temperature. Part of the temperature dependences of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra did not comply with expected characteristics. Possible hypotheses for interpretation of such behavior are discussed in the text. Probable arrangement of Fe and Nb cations in PFN and BFN phases is deduced and, based on these differences, the contrast in Néel temperatures of these phases is explained.

Study of the dielectric properties of perovskite crystals
Mlčkovová, Hana ; Pospíšil, Jan (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The presented diploma thesis deals with the preparation of perovskite single crystals by inverse thermal crystallization and subsequent study of the basic properties of these hybrid organic-inorganic materials that can be used in various optoelectronic (photodetectors, transistors, lasers, LEDs) or photovoltaic applications. Their behavior in the electric field was studied by impedance spectroscopy. Impedance and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics (frequency dependences) were measured in the dark and in the light. From the impedance dependences for measurements at 0 V voltage in the dark, the equivalent circuit was modeled and its parameters and dielectric constant were determined. From the C-V dependence, Mott-Schottky analysis determined the parameters – "flat-band" potential U_"fb" and charge carrier density N_"C-V" , the parameter – the so-called Warburg coefficient was found, which together with the parameter N_"C-V" was used to calculate the diffusion coefficient D.
