研究目的
To address the issues of utilizing low-cost, non-toxic materials with chemical stability as well as long term device stabilities in perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
研究成果
The combination of PVP interlayer and CZTS&CNT HTL offers an opportunity for the scalability of PSCs by improving their performance and stability. The devices demonstrated high efficiency, low hysteresis, and retained more than 98% of the initial PCE at room temperature and 40–45% humidity after 30 days.
研究不足
The study focuses on the interface engineering between PVP and CZTS&CNT HTL on top of perovskite layer to improve the performance and stability of PSCs. The limitations include the need for further optimization of the fill factor and the exploration of other materials and methods to enhance the performance and stability of PSCs.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed an inexpensive, eco-friendly, and environmentally stable nanostructure of the quaternary chalcogenide Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) as an inorganic hole transport material (HTM). Two strategies were used to optimize the photovoltaic parameters: applying an interlayer of poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP) between the perovskite and the hole transport layer (HTL), and incorporating single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into the CZTS HTL.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The materials used include Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glasses, Copper (II) chloride, zinc chloride, tin (II) chloride dihydrate, Thiourea, SWCNT, Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and ethylene glycol among others.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), spectrometer Avantes (AVASPEC-ULS2048L), nitrogen laser (NL 100), X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns using a diffractometer system (D8 Advance Bruke), solar simulator (Sharif solar, SIM-1000), and Autolab 302 N for impedance spectroscopy measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis of CZTS nanostructures was done using a mild solvothermal method. The solar cells were fabricated by spin coating and vapor-assisted solution deposition techniques.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The current density-voltage (J-V) curves were measured under standard illumination, and impedance spectroscopy measurements were carried out under illumination with different DC bias potentials.
