研究目的
Investigating the thermal stability of fullerene electron transport layers (ETLs) and its impact on device stability in perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
研究成果
The study demonstrates that hybrid fullerene ETLs, particularly those with a 20 wt% addition of PCPB to PCBM, significantly improve the thermal stability and photovoltaic performance of PSCs. The co-crystallographic analysis provided insights into the intermolecular interactions that contribute to the enhanced stability and performance.
研究不足
The study focuses on the thermal stability of fullerene ETLs and does not extensively address other stability factors such as humidity or light exposure. Additionally, the research is limited to specific fullerene derivatives (PCBM and PCPB) and their mixtures.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of a new fullerene derivative, PCPB, and its formulation with PCBM to create hybrid ETLs. The methodology included single-crystal X-ray diffraction to understand intermolecular interactions and packing of fullerene derivatives.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included pure PCBM, pure PCPB, and their mixtures in varying weight ratios. Data were acquired through photovoltaic performance tests, thermal stability tests, and morphological analysis.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments used included a Bruker Biospin Advance III 500 MHz for NMR, UV-2550 spectrometer for UV-Vis absorption, Perkin-Elmer Pyris 6 for TGA, and Rigaku Ultima IV for XRD. Materials included PCBM, PCPB, and other chemicals purchased from Alfa Aesar or Sigma Aldrich.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The experimental process involved the fabrication of PSCs with different ETLs, thermal aging tests, and performance evaluation under simulated solar irradiation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis included the evaluation of photovoltaic parameters, electron mobility measurements using the SCLC method, and EIS measurements to assess charge transfer resistance.
