The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and carbon nanotube (CNT) components and their derivatives grafted with the irregioregular poly(3-dodecyl thiophene) (rGO-g-PDDT and CNT-g-PDDT) and regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene)
(CNT-g-P3HT and CNT-g-P3HT) polymers were used to improve the morphological, optical, and photovoltaic features of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells. The type
of carbonic material (CNT or rGO) and regioregularity of grafts affected the cell performances. According to the photoluminescence lifetimes, although the grafted-CNT/
rGO components improved the cell characteristics (15.3-20.5 ns), the corresponding bared nanostructures ruined them (3.0-4.9 ns). In similar conditions,viaalteration
of rGO to CNT, the average cell performance changed to 14.56 from 14.07% for
PDDT-grafted systems and to 16.36 from 15.15% for P3HT-based ones. The self-ordering polymers such as regioregular P3HTs simultaneously induced the crystallinity to the polymeric and non-polymeric constituents. The best photovoltaic data including 22.73 mA/cm2,
75%, 0.96 V and 16.36% with the narrowest distributions were detected in the CH3NH3PbI3 + CNT-g-P3HT solar cells. Perovskite solar
cells were perfectly modified with both rGO-g-P3HT and CNT-g-P3HT agents because of the lowest charge-transfer resistance values
(93.2 and 90.1 Ω), the most intensified crystalline peaks, and the largest absorbances.
