研究目的
To extend light absorption beyond 800 nm into the near-infrared (NIR) to increase photocurrent generation and further improve photovoltaic efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by incorporating a NIR-chromophore that is also a Lewis-base into perovskite absorbers.
研究成果
The incorporation of IEICO-4F into perovskite active layers extends their photoresponse into the NIR, enhances photovoltaic efficiency to 21.6%, and improves operational stability. This strategy demonstrates the potential for developing highly efficient and stable NIR-harvesting PSCs by directly incorporating multifunctional organic semiconductors.
研究不足
The study focuses on the incorporation of a specific NIR-chromophore (IEICO-4F) into perovskite absorbers, and its generalizability to other organic semiconductors or perovskite compositions may require further investigation. The operational stability under continuous one-sun illumination is improved but may still need enhancement for commercial applications.
