研究目的
Investigating the effect of a series of self-assembled monolayers placed at the TiO2-perovskite junction on the functioning of triple cation perovskite solar cells.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that interfacial engineering with chloride-functionalized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) significantly improves the performance of triple cation perovskite solar cells, achieving a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 21.35%. The improvement is attributed to the reduction of interfacial states, enhancement of the perovskite material quality, and better structural continuity between TiO2 and the perovskite. The findings highlight the importance of interfacial chemical interactions in designing highly efficient perovskite solar cells.
研究不足
The study focused on a specific set of SAMs and their impact on triple cation perovskite solar cells. The findings may not be directly applicable to other types of perovskite solar cells or different interfacial modifiers. Additionally, the study did not explore the long-term stability of the solar cells under operational conditions beyond two months.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation of perovskite solar cells with various self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) at the TiO2-perovskite junction. The SAMs were formed using different benzoic acid derivatives and β-alanine. The overall experimental design rationale was to investigate the impact of these SAMs on the solar cell performance.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were prepared on fluorine-doped SnO2 (FTO) substrates with a TiO2 blocking layer and a mesoporous TiO2 layer. The perovskite layer was a triple cation perovskite, Cs
3:08FA80MA12Pb(I88Br12)List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The materials included FTO substrates, TiO2 for the blocking and mesoporous layers, various benzoic acid derivatives for SAM formation, and the perovskite precursor solution. Equipment included a spin-coater for layer deposition, a thermal evaporator for gold back contact, and various characterization tools like XRD, SEM, UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer, and fluorescence spectrophotometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The mesoporous TiO2 layer was treated with methanol solutions of various acids to form SAMs. The perovskite layer was then deposited by spin-coating, followed by the deposition of Spiro-OMeTAD and gold back contact. The cells were characterized by J-V measurements, EQE, and stability tests.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed to determine the power conversion efficiency (PCE), open-circuit voltage (VOC), short-circuit current density (JSC), and fill factor (FF). The effect of SAMs on the perovskite layer quality and solar cell performance was evaluated.
