研究目的
To fabricate and compare the photovoltaic properties of conventional n-i-p and inverted p-i-n structures of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) as a perovskite photoactive layer in ambient conditions.
研究成果
The PSCs with inverted and conventional structures were fabricated in ambient conditions with PCE as high as 8.06% and 16.79%, respectively. The conventional structure performed significantly better due to better perovskite film formation on FTO/TiO2 substrate than ITO/PEDOT:PSS substrate and showed better stability under continuous illumination.
研究不足
The acidic and hygroscopic nature of the PEDOT:PSS HTL can corrode the ITO electrode and degrade the moisture sensitive perovskite film. Poor surface coverage of perovskite film on PEDOT:PSS leads to pinhole generation causing low PCE. PCBM ETL could absorb oxygen and water on its surface and can degrade the perovskite film.
