研究目的
To enhance the conductivity of nickel oxide (NiOx) for use as a hole transport layer (HTL) in inverted planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into NiOx, thereby improving the device's power conversion efficiency (PCE).
研究成果
The incorporation of CNTs into NiOx significantly enhances its conductivity and charge transport properties, leading to improved performance of inverted planar PSCs. The optimal CNT concentration was found to be 7.5 vol.%, achieving a PCE of up to 16.9%. This hybrid approach offers a promising method for enhancing the efficiency of inorganic charge transporters in PSCs.
研究不足
The study is limited by the potential instability issues associated with the use of CNTs, such as their ambipolar charge transport properties which could lead to undesirable electron-hole recombination in the HTL at higher concentrations. Additionally, the small size of CNTs made direct observation challenging, requiring higher concentrations for TEM analysis.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation of NiOx/CNT composites by blending CNT solutions with a NiOx precursor solution, followed by spin-coating to form hybrid films. Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FE-SEM, and FE-TEM were used for characterization.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples included pristine NiOx and NiOx/CNT hybrid films with varying CNT concentrations (0–20 vol.%).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments used included a Raman imaging microscope, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FE-SEM, AFM, FE-TEM, and a solar simulator for J-V measurements. Materials included nickel nitrate hexahydrate, ethylene glycol, ethylenediamine, CNT solution, MAI, PbI2, DMF, DMSO, and PCBM.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved precursor preparation, film fabrication via spin-coating, annealing, and device assembly with subsequent characterization.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy for CNT incorporation confirmation, UV-Vis for optical properties, FE-SEM and AFM for morphology, and EIS for charge transport properties.
