  • Perovskite Solar Cells
  • Perovskite Photovoltaics
  • Thin-Film Photovoltaics
  • Transparent Electrodes
  • Semi-Transparent Solar Cells
  • Bifacial Photovoltaics

Introduction

Perovskite solar cells have become an important research topic in photovoltaic science because their optoelectronic properties can be engineered through composition, interfaces, device architecture, and optical design. Research in this area extends beyond conventional efficiency optimization to include semi-transparent, bifacial, flexible, and visually selective photovoltaic devices. Such approaches may be relevant to building-integrated photovoltaics and other applications where light transmission, appearance, or two-sided illumination is an important design consideration. [1][2]

Within this research landscape, Sonia Rani’s published work addresses several aspects of perovskite photovoltaic design. Her research includes the study of transparent conducting structures, ultrathin metal-derived layers, optical engineering, photonic-crystal structures, and oxide–metal–oxide configurations. [5]

Research Profile

The supplied academic profile associates Sonia Rani with the Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad and identifies Perovskite Solar Cells as her principal subject area. The institutional record of IIT Dharwad identifies Sonia Rani as a doctoral researcher in Perovskite Photovoltaics and records her doctoral graduation in 2024 under the supervision of Prof. Dhriti Sundar Ghosh. [6]

Her ORCID record lists Scopus Author ID 57424464900 and records 22 works on the profile. It also records doctoral study at the Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad during 2022–2024. The same record documents subsequent research employment, illustrating that researcher affiliations can change over time even when earlier institutional research remains part of an academic publication record. [3]

The research profile can broadly be organized around the following themes:

  • Perovskite photovoltaic device architecture.
  • Transparent and semi-transparent photovoltaic electrodes.
  • Bifacial solar-cell configurations.
  • Optical engineering and light-management structures.
  • Colored and visually selective perovskite solar cells.
  • Materials and interfaces for photovoltaic device optimization.

Research Contributions

A notable aspect of the research is the investigation of transparent electrode systems for semi-transparent perovskite solar cells. In a 2023 Solar RRL article, Rani, Arun Kumar, and Dhriti Sundar Ghosh examined oxide–metal–oxide based transparent electrodes and their potential application in semi-transparent perovskite photovoltaic devices. [4]

Another contribution concerns ultrathin copper-based layers. A 2022 study in Solar Energy investigated a thermally oxidized ultrathin copper film as a low-cost hole-transport layer for planar perovskite solar cells. The publication reported experimental device characteristics and stability measurements associated with the proposed layer configuration. [5]

Research published in Energy Technology in 2025 examined one-dimensional photonic crystals for selective chromaticity in colored perovskite solar cells. The work demonstrates an optical-engineering approach in which photonic structures are considered as part of photovoltaic device design rather than treating color solely as an incidental optical property. [1]

More recent work has addressed material-driven design of oxide–metal–oxide–perovskite–oxide–metal–oxide structures for bifacial and semi-transparent photovoltaic applications. Published in Solar RRL in 2026, this research considered the relationship between material selection, optical transparency, and photovoltaic performance. [2]
