研究目的
Investigating the use of amorphous tin-indium-oxide (TIO) thin films as a new electron transport layer (ETL) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to improve efficiency and reduce production costs.
研究成果
Amorphous TIO thin films with Sn fractions >50 at% were successfully grown at room temperature and demonstrated as viable ETLs for PSCs. The optimal photovoltaic performance was achieved with a 77 at%-Sn TIO ETL after TiCl4 treatment, showing significant potential for reducing production costs and time. The study highlights the importance of electrical resistivity in determining the shunt and series resistances of PSCs.
研究不足
The study is limited by the room-temperature processing conditions, which may affect the crystallinity and electrical properties of the films. The optimal Sn fraction for PSC performance was found to be 77 at%, but further optimization may be needed for higher efficiencies.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the co-sputtering of In2O3 and SnO2 at room temperature to grow TIO thin films on ITO substrates. The composition was controlled by adjusting the target-substrate distances and gun powers.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
TIO thin films with varying Sn fractions (52, 77, 83, 92, and 100 at%) were prepared on glass, sapphire, and ITO substrates for different analyses.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an RF magnetron sputtering system, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, XRD, UPS, and Hall measurement system. Materials included In2O3 and SnO2 targets, ITO substrates, and various chemicals for perovskite layer preparation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved substrate cleaning, TIO film deposition, perovskite layer coating, HTL application, and Au electrode deposition. TiCl4 treatment was also applied to some samples.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Optical band gap energies were determined from Tauc plots. Electrical properties were measured using Hall effect measurements. Photovoltaic properties were evaluated using a solar simulator and source meter.
