Investigation of sol-gel and nanoparticle-based NiOx hole transporting layer for high-performance planar perovskite solar cells
摘要： We conduct a comprehensive study on and comparison of sol-gel and nanoparticles (NPs)-based nickel oxide hole-transporting layer (HTL) for high-performance planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The characteristics and film properties of sol-gel and NPs were systemically investigated using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL), and its effect on device-performance was also examined using J-V characteristics, quantum-efficiency, and the VOC dependence of the light intensity. Through this comparison of two types of HTL and their device-performances, these studies can provide sufficient and robust information for nickel oxide-based PSCs, and furthermore, the overall results and discussions can be useful for high-performance PSCs.

Improved photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells by utilizing down-conversion NaYF <sub/>4</sub> :Eu <sup>3+</sup> nanophosphors
摘要： Perovskite solar cells assembled with titanium dioxide electron transport layer exhibited brilliant photovoltaic properties due to titanium dioxide having a high electron mobility, appropriate energy level alignment and easy fabrication procedure. However, inherent instability exists in titanium dioxide-based perovskite solar cells because of the ultraviolet photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide. This results in recombination at the interface of titanium dioxide/perovskite. In this report, the down-conversion nanocrystals film made of europium-doped sodium yttrium fluoride was deposited on the non-conducting side of the conducting glass. The down-conversion nanocrystal layer could absorb high energy ultraviolet photons and converted them to visible light. The layer not only extended the spectral response range for perovskite solar cells but also alleviated the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide. The perovskite solar cells with the down-conversion nanocrystals film generated average power conversion efficiency yield of 19.99%, which is much better than that of the device without the down-conversion nanocrystals film (16.99%). The best power conversion efficiency for the device with the down-conversion nanocrystals film was 20.17%. In addition, perovskite solar cells with the down-conversion nanocrystals film showed a small hysteresis.

Solubilization of Carbon Nanotubes with Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate for Solution-Processed Conductive Films and Charge Extraction Layers in Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： Carbon nanotube (CNT) solubilization via non-covalent wrapping of conjugated semiconducting polymers is a common technique used to produce stable dispersions for depositing CNTs from solution. Here, we report the use of a non-conjugated insulating polymer, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), to disperse multi- and single-walled CNTs (MWCNT and SWCNT) in organic solvents. We demonstrate that despite the insulating nature of the EVA, we can produce semitransparent films with conductivities of up to 34 S/cm. We show, using photoluminescence spectroscopy, that the EVA strongly binds to individual CNTs, thus making them soluble, preventing aggregation, and facilitating the deposition of high-quality films. To prove the good electronic properties of this composite, we have fabricated perovskite solar cells using EVA/SWCNTs and EVA/MWCNTs as selective hole contact, obtaining power conversion efficiencies of up to 17.1%, demonstrating that the insulating polymer does not prevent the charge transfer from the active material to the CNTs.

Charge extraction via graded doping of hole transport layers gives highly luminescent and stable metal halide perovskite devices
摘要： One source of instability in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is interfacial defects, particularly those that exist between the perovskite and the hole transport layer (HTL). We demonstrate that thermally evaporated dopant-free tetracene (120 nm) on top of the perovskite layer, capped with a lithium-doped Spiro-OMeTAD layer (200 nm) and top gold electrode, offers an excellent hole-extracting stack with minimal interfacial defect levels. For a perovskite layer interfaced between these graded HTLs and a mesoporous TiO2 electron-extracting layer, its photoluminescence yield reaches 15% compared to 5% for the perovskite layer interfaced between TiO2 and Spiro-OMeTAD alone. For PSCs with graded HTL structure, we demonstrate efficiency of up to 21.6% and an extended power output of over 550 hours of continuous illumination at AM1.5G, retaining more than 90% of the initial performance and thus validating our approach. Our findings represent a breakthrough in the construction of stable PSCs with minimized nonradiative losses.

All-Thin-Film Tandem Cells Based on Liquid Phase Crystallized Silicon and Perovskites
摘要： Combining the emerging perovskite solar cell technology with existing silicon approaches in a tandem cell design offers the possibility for new low-cost high-performance devices. In this study, the potential of liquid phase crystallized silicon (LPC-Si) solar cells as a bottom cell in an all-thin-film tandem device is investigated. By optimizing the current output of a four terminal tandem using optical simulations and state-of-the-art electrical properties of the top and bottom cells, we show that an efficiency of 23.3% can be reached, where 7.2% are attributed to the LPC-Si bottom cell. Including the potential of future developments of both sub cells, efficiencies of over 28% are estimated. Electrical and optical measurements of the bottom cell are performed by attaching a perovskite and a cutoff filter to the front side of the interdigitated back contacted LPC-Si cells. The measurements using a cutoff filter show a high impact of the filtered incident light spectrum on the open circuit voltage of the LPC-Si cell. A comparison of the simulated and measured absorptance shows that especially the optical properties of the transparent conductive oxides and recombination losses in the LPC-Si cause high current losses. Combining the measured data of the filtered LPC-Si cells and the semitransparent perovskite cells, yields a realistic estimation for the efficiency of a state-of-the-art four-terminal tandem device of 19.3%.

MAPbI3/agarose photoactive composite for highly stable unencapsulated perovskite solar cells in humid environment
摘要： Perovskite solar cells, bearing the merits of facile preparaion and remarkable efficiency, has great potential for bringing the photovoltaic industry to a new generation. The photovoltaic market demands high-efficiency, high stability and low-cost fabrication of perovksite solar cells, especially stability to the humid environment for operation. Here, MAPbI3/agarose photoactive material for humid stable unencapsulated devices has been proposed. These solar cells have been operated in ambient humid environment without glove box, exhibiting efficiency up to 14.66% and retain 90% of its PCE after 1392 h and 60% of initial PCE after 1972 h in ambient humid environment (RH>70%) without encapsulation. FTIR and XPS measurements reveal two critical factors for the improved stability. The molecular level interactions between agarose and MAPbI3 passivates the grain boundaries of perovskite thus preventing its degradation. Moreover, the formation of Li+-agarose complex at the interface between perovskite layer and hole conductive layer, effectively prevents the water uptake of MAPbI3 layer. Both effects of passivation and minimization of hygroscopicity of LiTFSI by agarose lower the decomposition speed of perovskite, which obviously increases the power efficiency and stability of device.

Improve the crystallinity and morphology of perovskite films by suppressing the formation of intermediate phase of CH3NH3PbCl3
摘要： Crystallinity and morphology of perovskite films can greatly influence the performance of perovskite solar cells (Pero-SCs) in terms of charge carrier generation and transportation. Incorporation of Cl (from either PbCl2 or CH3NH3Cl) in crystal growth of CH3NH3PbI3 is known as an effective method to acquire larger crystal grains and longer carrier diffusion length. It has been reported that an intermediate phase of CH3NH3PbCl3 was usually observed during crystallization, which should be critical to the quality of the resulting perovskite, however, how the intermediate phase influence the crystal growth was lack of comprehensive understanding. In this study, through varying the mixing ratio of the precursors PbI2:2CH3NH3I and PbCl2:3CH3NH3I, we were able to systematically tune the content and the converting time of CH3NH3PbCl3. We found that suppressing the formation of CH3NH3PbCl3 within the as-cast films can effectively improve the quality (crystallinity and morphology) of the resulting perovskite films. The improvement led to significant enhancement of the performance of the corresponding p-i-n planar Pero-SCs. Under optimized conditions, the best PCE was increased from 12.8% to 16.2%, which should be attributed to the alleviated charge recombination due to the improved quality of perovskite films by suppressing the formation of CH3NH3PbCl3.

Improving performance and stability of planar perovskite solar cells through grain boundary passivation with block copolymer
摘要： Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) exhibit excellent photovoltaic performance but suffer from instabilities against moisture and heat due to the inherent hydroscopic nature and volatility of their organic components. Herein, we report that employing block copolymer F127 as the passivation reagent in conjunction with solvent annealing process can efficiently improve the performance and stability of corresponding organic-inorganic PSCs. It is anticipated that the hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) tails of F127 polymers connect with contiguous perovskite crystals and passivate defects at perovskite grain boundaries, whereas the dangling hydrophobic poly(phenyl oxide) centers suppress perovskite decomposition caused by moisture and heat. After the optimization of the F127 additive, the planar PSCs with champion power conversion efficiencies of 21.01% and 18.71% were achieved on rigid and flexible substrates, respectively. The F127 passivation strategy provides an effective approach for fabricating high-efficiency and stable PSCs.

Achieving a high open-circuit voltage in inverted wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells with a graded perovskite homojunction
摘要： Wide-bandgap (~1.7-1.8 eV) perovskite solar cells have attracted substantial research interest in recent years due to their great potential to fabricate efficient tandem solar cells via combining with a lower bandgap (1.1-1.3 eV) absorber (e.g., Si, copper indium gallium diselenide, or low-bandgap perovskite). However, wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells usually suffer from large open circuit voltage (Voc) deficits caused by small grain sizes and photoinduced phase segregation. Here, we demonstrate that in addition to large grain sizes and passivated grain boundaries, controlling interface properties is critical for achieving high Voc’s in the inverted wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells. We adopt guanidinium bromide solution to tune the effective doping and electronic properties of the surface layer of perovskite thin films, leading to the formation of a graded perovskite homojunction. The enhanced electric field at the perovskite homojunction is revealed by Kelvin probe force microscopy measurements. This advance enables an increase in the Voc of the inverted perovskite solar cells from an initial 1.12 V to 1.24 V. With the optimization of the device fabrication process, the champion inverted wide-bandgap cell delivers a power conversion efficiency of 18.19% and sustains more than 72% of its initial efficiency after continuous illumination for 70 h without encapsulation. Additionally, a semitransparent device with an indium tin oxide back contact retains more than 88% of its initial efficiency after 100 h maximum power point tracking.
