研究目的
Investigating the use of cupric oxide (CuO) films as a hole-transporting layer (HTL) material in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to improve their electrical conductivity and stability in ambient air.
研究成果
Single-phase monoclinic CuO films with p-type conduction were successfully prepared via DC reactive magnetron sputtering, achieving a record hole mobility of 48.44 cm2/Vs. These films can be used as HTL material in PSCs, despite the current low efficiency, suggesting potential for further improvement.
研究不足
The PSCs with CuO as HTL material achieved a relatively low power conversion efficiency of 1.3%, indicating potential areas for optimization in film quality and interface properties.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Single-phase monoclinic CuO films were prepared via direct-current reactive magnetron sputtering at room temperature.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
CuO films were prepared on glass slides at different O2/Ar flow ratios (Ro/a).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A metallic copper plate (
4:99% purity) was used as the sputtering target, with argon and oxygen gases (99% purity) as the sputtering and reactive gas, respectively. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The glass slides were cleaned and dried before film deposition. The copper target was pre-sputtered to remove the oxide layer. CuO films were then prepared at different Ro/a values.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The films' microstructure, optical properties, and electrical properties were characterized using XRD, SEM, spectrophotometry, Raman microscopy, and Hall effect testing.
