The main fields of operation for Metallurgical and Materials Engineering are production of engineering materials, defining and improving their features, as well as developing new materials to meet the expectations at every aspect of life and the users from these aspects. Founded in 2004 and graduated its 10th-semester alumni in 2018, our Department also obtained MÜDEK accreditation in the latter year. Offering the opportunity to hold an internationally valid diploma through the accreditation in question, our Department has highly qualified and experienced Academic Staff. Many of the courses offered at our Department are supported with various practice sessions, and internship studies in summer. This way, we help our students become better-equipped engineers for their future professional lives. With the Cooperative Education curriculum that entered into effect in 2019, students may volunteer to work at contracted companies for a period of six months with no extensions to their period of study.

Abstract

More research is required to further optimize device efficiency, stability, and reduce the materials cost as perovskite solar cells (PSCs) approach to industrialization. Modulating the optoelectronic features and chemical coupling of the hole transport materials (HTMs) remains a prominent field of study in PSCs due to the significant impact these materials have on the device performance and stability. In order to speed up the commercialization of these cells, it is also important to use cost-effective HTMs in PSCs. InorganicHTMs are superior to other types of HTMs in terms of their advantages in boosting device performance and producing PSCs at a reasonable cost, in addition to their superior charge transport capabilities, desired energy levels, and intrinsic thermal and chemical stability. A detailed overview of inorganicHTMs, including metal oxides, cyanates, phthalocyanines, chalcogenides, nitrides, and carbides, is presented in this review. After briefly discussing the primary physical and optoelectronic characteristics of inorganic-HTMs, the critical functions of the above-mentioned materials as HTMs in PSCs are addressed. This review concludes by offering suggestions for future research that could considerably boost the performance of the PSCs with cost-effective inorganic-HTMs.
