New insights into active-area-dependent performance of hybrid perovskite solar cells
摘要: The morphology of hybrid perovskite thin films depends strongly on the processing parameters due to its complex crystallization kinetics from a solution to solid perovskite halide phase. It is also profoundly sensitive to the device area of the deposited thin film, and hence reproducible photoconversion efficiency (PCE) remained a bottleneck for the fabrication of efficient photovoltaic devices having large active area. The present work focuses on the investigations of the relationship between perovskite ink concentration-dependent quality of the perovskite overlayer and PCE of the perovskite solar cells (PSC) while scaling-up process. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the surface coverage of perovskite overlayer depends on the concentration of perovskite solution and device area. The active-area-dependent current density (J)-voltage (V) and external quantum efficiency measurements identify morphology-dependent variation in charge-transport/recombination pathways. We confirmed that among different precursor concentrations, 40 wt% perovskite ink is suitable to produce uniform perovskite overlayer over 1 cm2. As a result, highly reproducible PCE * 13% has been achieved for the PSC having an active area of 1 cm2. Overall, our findings significantly provide new insights into the active-area-dependent PCE of PSC.

Fascinating Physical Properties of 2D Hybrid Perovskite [(NH3)(CH2)7(NH3)]CuClxBr4?x, x?=?0, 2 and 4
摘要: The 2-D organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites of the formula [(NH3)(CH2)7(NH3)]CuClxBr4?x, x = 0, 2 and 4 were prepared by slow evaporation from ethanolic solution in stoichiometric ratio 1:1 (organic/inorganic). Microchemical analysis and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to confirm the formation of the presently investigated hybrids. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated order–disorder transitions at T1 = 357 K, T2 = 388 K, and T3 = 398 K for x = 0, 2 and 4 of the three heptane diammonium Cu hybrid perovskites, respectively. These transitions are in good agreement with the electrical permittivity results at different frequencies and temperatures. Optical properties and estimated band gap energy reveal that the band gap energy decreases sharply with replacement of Cl ion by Br ion where the band gap energy of [(NH3)(CH2)7(NH3)]CuBr4, x = 0 (denoted 2C7CuBr) is 1.6 eV (brown color) and for [(NH3)(CH2)7(NH3)]CuCl4, x = 4 (denoted 2C7CuCl) is 2.6 eV (yellow color). The differential magnetic susceptibility of 2C7CuBr in the temperature range 80–300 K indicates the effective magnetic moment μeff = 2.05 BM.

摘要: Understanding the defect structure in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite material (OHP) is a crucial role to explain several physical properties such as material stability, energy band, carrier mobility, and so on. In the solar-cell applications using OHP, finding, understanding, and controlling defects is essential to making a more advanced device with high efficiency and stability. Naturally, we need to find, understand, and control the possible defects in OHP. However, the defect research field in OHP material is just beginning now. In this short review, we will explore the kinds of defects and their effects on OHP.

Computational determination of structural, electronic, optical, thermoelectric and thermodynamic properties of hybrid perovskite CH3CH2NH3GeI3: An emerging material for photovoltaic cell
摘要: Owing to high power conversion efficiency and low-cost, methyl-ammonium lead-based halide (viz. CH3NH3PbI3) Perovskites have been emerging as the innovative candidate in the development of optoelectronic devices. However, the toxic lead in these materials is a major hurdle in its commercialization. Thus, there is an urgent need to replace lead with an appropriate element. Ethyl-ammonium based lead-free hybrid halide perovskites may be an alternative photovoltaic (PV) absorber material with appropriate band gap, high stability and non-toxic properties. Herein, we have investigated structural, electronic, optical, thermoelectric and thermodynamic properties of ethyl-ammonium germanium iodide (CH3CH2NH3GeI3 or EAGeI3) by full-potential augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method as implemented in the WIEN2k code within the density functional theory (DFT). In this paper, we have found that EAGeI3 has direct band gap of 1.3 eV and high absorption coefficient greater than 104 cm-1 and indicating its suitability as PV absorber material. We have also calculated thermoelectric coefficients as a function of carrier concentration, chemical potential and temperature. The thermodynamic calculations have been done within the quasi-harmonic approximation. As EAGeI3 has been studied first time for PV applications, the present study may open a new vista for more exhaustive experimental and theoretical investigations in search of non-toxic and eco-friendly PV materials.

Challenges and Approaches Towards Upscaling Assembly of Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要: In recent times, the next generation of photovoltaic technologies accept perovskite solar cells (PSCs) as a different auspicious applicant as a result of their persistently developed efficiencies that achieve much solicitude from both the scientific and industrial societies. Even if PSCs are dignified toward commercial world through the photovoltaic module scale, significant challenges confusing industrialization remain. The recent efficiency of the solution-processed PSCs reach over 25% on lab-scale. However, a reproducible allocation to upscaling techniques of these processes still requires a highly controllable perovskite film formation. Different coating systems like blade, slot-die and spray coating as well as printing pathways like those that screen, inkjet, and gravure printing; besides vacuum deposition and laser patterning methods used widely as substitutions of spin coating towards the developing of PSC scale-up with large-area. Herein, the current review based on the practical potential of PSCs, strategies, challenges, and approaches on large-area scale PSCs module, through the different deposition techniques as well as functional materials in device architecture.

Acoustic phonon lifetimes limit thermal transport in methylammonium lead iodide
摘要: Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have become an important class of semiconductors for solar cells and other optoelectronic applications. Electron–phonon coupling plays a critical role in all optoelectronic devices, and although the lattice dynamics and phonon frequencies of HOIPs have been well studied, little attention has been given to phonon lifetimes. We report high-precision momentum-resolved measurements of acoustic phonon lifetimes in the hybrid perovskite methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI), using inelastic neutron spectroscopy to provide high-energy resolution and fully deuterated single crystals to reduce incoherent scattering from hydrogen. Our measurements reveal extremely short lifetimes on the order of picoseconds, corresponding to nanometer mean free paths and demonstrating that acoustic phonons are unable to dissipate heat efficiently. Lattice-dynamics calculations using ab initio third-order perturbation theory indicate that the short lifetimes stem from strong three-phonon interactions and a high density of low-energy optical phonon modes related to the degrees of freedom of the organic cation. Such short lifetimes have significant implications for electron–phonon coupling in MAPI and other HOIPs, with direct impacts on optoelectronic devices both in the cooling of hot carriers and in the transport and recombination of band edge carriers. These findings illustrate a fundamental difference between HOIPs and conventional photovoltaic semiconductors and demonstrate the importance of understanding lattice dynamics in the effort to develop metal halide perovskite optoelectronic devices.

Hybrid perovskite light emitting diodes under intense electrical excitation
摘要: Hybrid perovskite semiconductors represent a promising platform for color-tunable light emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers; however, the behavior of these materials under the intense electrical excitation required for electrically-pumped lasing remains unexplored. Here, we investigate methylammonium lead iodide-based perovskite LEDs under short pulsed drive at current densities up to 620 A cm?2. At low current density (J < 10 A cm?2), we ?nd that the external quantum ef?ciency (EQE) depends strongly on the time-averaged history of the pulse train and show that this curiosity is associated with slow ion movement that changes the internal ?eld distribution and trap density in the device. The impact of ions is less pronounced in the high current density regime (J > 10 A cm?2), where EQE roll-off is dominated by a combination of Joule heating and charge imbalance yet shows no evidence of Auger loss, suggesting that operation at kA cm?2 current densities relevant for a laser diode should be within reach.

Embedding of WO3 nanocrystals with rich oxygen-vacancies in solution processed perovskite film for improved photovoltaic performance
摘要: Seeking strategies of promoting the charge separation and transport of the photo-active layer has been always of significance for the development of high-performance optoelectronic devices. We herein demonstrate an effective way of decorating WO3 nanocrystals in perovskite films for boosted photogenerated carriers transport. The WO3 nanocrystals are generated by a simple technique of pulsed laser irradiation in liquid, then introduced into the perovskite film based on the anti-solvent approach. Such decoration is found helpful for the increase of the short-circuit current density (Jsc) of the device, which leads to the increase of the photoconversion efficiency (PCE) from 17.72% to 19.29%. The improved PCE is mainly due to the decoration of the WO3 at the grain boundaries of perovskite films that facilitates the charge transport between the adjacent grains, which is evidenced by the quenching of the film photoluminescence, shortened carrier lifetime, and increased carrier mobility. We thus believe our study provides an effective way of embedding ordinary metal oxides in perovskite films for enhanced optoelectronic performance.

Investigation of structural, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of Ethylammonium tin iodide (CH3CH2NH3SnI3): An appropriate hybrid material for photovoltaic application
摘要: Hybrid halide Perovskites have been emerging as the innovative candidate in the development of optoelectronic devices. Ethyl-ammonium based hybrid halide perovskites have been admirable compounds regarding low band gap, high stability and non-toxic properties instead of methyl-ammonium based hybrid halide perovskites. Herein, we have investigated structural, electronic, optical and thermoelectric (TE) properties of ethyl-ammonium tin iodide (CH3CH2NH3SnI3) by full-potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbital (FP-LAPW t lo) method as implemented in the WIEN2k code within the density functional theory (DFT). The PBE-GGA, PBE-sol-GGA and TB-mBJ-GGA exchange-correlation potentials have been used to calculate the density of states and band structure of ethyl ammonium tin iodide (EASnI3) and found that it is a direct band gap semiconductor. We have calculated optical parameters such as dielectric function, absorption coefficient, refractive index, extinction coefficient, Eloss, optical reflectivity and optical conductivity for photon energies in the range 0–25 eV. We have also calculated transport coefficients (Seebeck coefficient, the figure of merit, power factor, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity) as a function of carrier concentration, chemical potential and temperature. Most of the investigated parameters are being reported for the first time. The present study establishes that ethyl-ammonium tin iodide (EASnI3) offers high absorption coefficient, high Seebeck coefficient, etc. This makes it a prospective material for cost effective photovoltaic device applications to overcome environmental instabilities.

Improved performance of lead-tin mixed perovskite solar cells with PEDOT:PSS treated by hydroquinone
摘要: Low bandgap lead-tin (Pb-Sn) hybrid perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) have gained a great deal of attentions due to their wide optical absorption range and environmental friendliness. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is widely used as a hole transport layer for PVSCs. However, the metallic property of PEDOT:PSS causes a barrier at the interface between it and the active layer, thereby hindering the transport of photogenerated carriers. In this paper, in order to eliminate the influence of the interfacial barrier, the PEDOT:PSS surface was treated by hydroquinone (HQ), which lowers the hole transport barrier at the interface, and consequently reduces the interfacial resistance as well. The leakage current in the device with the HQ-treated PEDOT:PSS is significantly reduced, and the surface modification improves the interfacial contact. Compared with the Pb-Sn hybrid PVSCs with the PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer, the power conversion efficiency of PVSCs with the HQ-PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer is improved by 5.7%.
