Bis(4-methylthio)phenyl)amine-based hole transport materials for highly-efficient perovskite solar cells: insight into the carrier ultrafast dynamics and interfacial transport
摘要： Hole transport layers (HTLs) play a significant role in the performance of perovskite solar cells. A new class of linear small-molecules based on bis(4-methylthio)phenyl)amine as an end group, carbon, oxygen and sulfur as the center atoms for the center unit (denoted as MT-based small-molecule), respectively, have been applied as HTL, and two of them presented the efficiency over 20% in the planar inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which demonstrated a significant improvement in comparison with the widely used HTL, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (known as PEDOT:PSS), in the planar inverted architecture. The ultrafast carrier dynamics show that the excited hot carrier cooling process of MT-based small-molecule HTL samples is faster than that of PEDOT:PSS samples. The kinetic analysis of photo-bleaching peaks of femtosecond transient absorption spectra reveals that the traps at the interface between MT-based small-molecule HTLs and MAPbI3 can be filled much quicker than that at PEDOT/MAPbI3 interfaces. Moreover, the hole injection time from MAPbI3 to MT-based small-molecule HTLs is around 10 times quicker than that to PEDOT:PSS. Such quick trap filling and hole extraction bring a significant enhancement in photovoltaic performances. These findings uncover the carrier transport mechanisms and illuminate a promising approach for the design of new HTLs for highly-efficient perovskite solar cells.

Mn Doping CsPbI3 Film Towards High-Efficiency Solar Cell
摘要： A doping technique that introduces suitable elements into the host material is extensively utilized to modulate perovskite lattice structure, stabilize crystallographic phases and achieve various optical and electronic properties. In this work, we substitute Pb2+ in CsPbI3 film with Mn2+ to improve the phase stability of the material. The crystalline quality of perovskite materials with Mn2+ doping is significantly improved, and the defect densitys is reduced. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of an inorganic perovskite solar cell with optimized Mn2+ doping (2%) reached 16.52 %, which is higher than the 15.05% of the reference, with an enhancement of ~ 10%. Simultaneously, the humidity and thermal stability were boosted by the Mn doping, which is attributed to the introduction of Mn shrinking the lattice of the perovskite material and enhancing the formation energy of the CsPbI3 film.

Heterojunction Incorporating Perovskite and Microporous Metala??Organic Framework Nanocrystals for Efficient and Stable Solar Cells
摘要： In this paper, we present a facile approach to enhance the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by incorporating perovskite with microporous indium-based metal–organic framework [In12O(OH)16(H2O)5(btc)6]n (In-BTC) nanocrystals and forming heterojunction light-harvesting layer. The interconnected micropores and terminal oxygen sites of In-BTC allow the preferential crystallization of perovskite inside the regular cavities, endowing the derived films with improved morphology/crystallinity and reduced grain boundaries/defects. Consequently, the In-BTC-modified PSC yields enhanced fill factor of 0.79 and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.87%, surpassing the pristine device (0.76 and 19.52%, respectively). More importantly, over 80% of the original PCE is retained after 12 days of exposure to ambient environment (25 °C and relative humidity of ~ 65%) without encapsulation, while only about 35% is left to the pristine device.

Lithium-Doping Effects in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Thin-Film and Photovoltaic Properties
摘要： The beneficial effects of heavy alkali-metals such as K, Rb, and Cs in enhancing Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) photovoltaic efficiencies are widely known, though the detailed mechanism is still open for discussion. In the present work, the effects of the lightest alkali-metal, Li, on CIGS thin-film and device properties are focused upon and compared to the effects of heavy alkali-metals. To date, the beneficial effects of elemental Li on Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) photovoltaic devices in enhancing efficiencies have been reported in the literature. On the other hand, it is shown in the present work that the beneficial effects of Li on CIGS are not so significant. In contrast to the effects of Na or Rb in enhancing CIGS (112) growth orientation, Li was revealed not to affect CIGS growth orientation. The most distinctive feature observed between Li and other alkali-metals was the elemental depth profile in CIGS films. Namely, Na and heavier alkali-metals show a concentration peak near the surface region (relatively Cu-poor region) of CIGS films, whereas elemental Li showed no such trend, suggesting that Li has no significant effect on CIGS surface modification. Nonetheless, Li was found to have some effect in enhancing the PL peak intensity and photovoltaic performance of CIGS, though the effect is relatively small in comparison to that obtained with other alkali-metals.

Multi-cycle Growth of Boron Doped ZnO Films as Photoanode for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC)
摘要： The work is concerned with the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) utilizing multi-layer boron doped ZnO nanorods films. The B-doped ZnO films were prepared on FTO glass substrate via seed mediated hydrothermal method. Multi-layer B-doped ZnO nanorods were obtained by immersing the sample into a growth solution and repeated the growth process at 90 oC for 30 minutes. The structure of the B-doped ZnO film has been found to exhibit the hexagonal wurtzite structure. The length and diameter of the nanorods increase with the number of the growth cycle. The performance of the DSSC fabricated using the multi-layer B-doped ZnO nanorod was found to be significantly higher than that of the DSSC based on the single layer ZnO nanorod arrays. The best photovoltaic parameters with the JSC of 3.5 mA cm-2, FF of 0.38 and η of 0.67%, respectively was obtained for the device utilizing the layer with 3 cycles since it possesses the lowest photoluminescence in visible region and lowest Rct.

Bicontinuous network of electron donor-acceptor composites achieved by additive-free sequential deposition for efficient polymer solar cells
摘要： We report that sequential deposition of a highly crystalline polymer donor and a soluble fullerene acceptor leads to a well-defined interpenetrating network and enhanced power conversion efficiencies in bilayer polymer solar cells. Even without the use of solvent additives, layered thin films of poly[(5,6-difluoro-2,1,3-benzothiadiazol-4,7-diyl)-alt-(3,3?-di(2-octyldodecyl)-2,2’;5′,2’’;5″,2?-quaterthiophen-5,5?-diyl)] (PffBT4T-2OD) and [6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM), as electron donor and acceptor materials, respectively, showed bicontinuous networks similar to those of a PffBT4T-2OD:PC71BM bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) thin film processed with 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) as a solvent additive. Transmission electron microscopy results confirmed the BHJ-like morphology of the bilayered PffBT4T-2OD/PC71BM thin films. Bilayer solar cells fabricated without the DIO additive produced a power conversion efficiency of η ≈ 7.65%, which is even higher than that of a BHJ solar cell fabricated with the DIO additive (η ≈ 7.04%). These results demonstrate that a highly crystalline polymer donor and an electron-accepting small molecule can be a good combination for efficient bilayer polymer solar cells.

Solar cell based on vertical graphene nano hills directly grown on silicon
摘要： We demonstrate a solar cell application based on vertical graphene nano hills (VGNH) directly grown without using a catalyst. The photovoltaic device based on VGNH grown on top of interfacial layer Al2O3 is compared with that on top of bare silicon by critically analyzing its electrical properties. The role of the interfacial layer is to minimize surface recombination and enhance its built-in potential. Our key process is simple to fabricate large-area devices, avoiding an unreliable transfer process. In addition, the thickness of VGNH is optimized and the surface texturing of silicon is performed to overcome the crucial problem of the high reflectivity of silicon. A low reflectivity of thick layers of VGNH is achieved with low series resistance despite of the vertical structure, which is beneficial for high photocurrent. A higher work function of VGNH ~ 4.7 eV is measured by KPFM. The conversion efficiency of 10.97% is achieved with an active area of 0.9 cm2 by co-doping with PEDOT: PSS and inorganic acid HNO3. Moreover, the photo-responsivity of the VGNH-based device is estimated as 1.196 AW-1 under deep ultraviolet light.

Macroscopic Nonuniformities in Metal Grids Formed by Cracked Film Lithography Result in 19.3%-Efficient Solar Cells
摘要： Cracked film lithography (CFL) is an emerging method for patterning transparent conductive metal grids. CFL can be vacuum- and Ag-free, and it forms more durable grids than nanowire approaches. In spite of CFL’s promising transmittance/grid sheet resistance/wire spacing tradeoffs, previous solar cell demonstrations have had relatively low performance. This work introduces macroscopic nonuniformities in the grids to improve the short-circuit current density/fill factor tradeoff in small area Cu(In,Ga)Se2 cells. The performance of optimized baseline grids is matched by CFL grids with microscopic openings and macroscopic patterns, culminating in a 19.3%-efficient cell. Simulations show that uniform CFL grids are enhanced by patterning because it leads to better balance among shadowing, grid resistance and transparent conductive oxide resistance losses. Thin-film module efficiency calculations are performed to highlight the performance gains that metal grids can enable by eliminating the transparent conductive oxide losses and widening monoliths. Adding the patterned CFL grids demonstrated in this work to CIGS modules is predicted to reach 0.7% higher efficiency (absolute) than screen-printed grids.

An all-solid-state lamellar-nanostructured polymer electrolyte in-situ-prepared from smectic liquid crystal for thermally stable dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： A novel all-solid-state polymer electrolyte based on thiolate/disulfide redox couple was in-situ prepared from a lamellar-assembled liquid crystal precursor for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The use of the thiolate/disulfide redox couple allowed the in-situ polymerization, which ensured both preservation of the lamellar nanostructure in electrolyte and sufficient interfacial contact in DSSC. Electrochemical analysis revealed that the lamellar-nanostructured electrolyte possessed charge transport ability and photovoltaic performance quite close to the liquid crystal electrolyte precursor. The resultant all-solid-state DSSCs showed a thermally stable photovoltaic performance with PCE higher than 2% from 35 to 90 °C. The method in using in-situ polymerization of nanostructured liquid crystals to prepare solid-state electrolytes shed a new light for efficient and stable all-solid-state DSSC preparation, especially in large-scale actual application.

Rational design of a novel isoindigo-based conjugated terpolymer with panchromatic absorption and its application to polymer solar cells
摘要： In this study, a panchromatic absorptive conjugated terpolymer, BDTID-BDT3MT, is synthesized, which consists of electron-donating benzodithiophene (BDT), isoindigo (ID) as a strong electron-accepting unit, and methyl-3-thiophenecarboxylate (3 MT) as a weak electron-accepting unit. By combining these three monomers into the structure of a conjugated terpolymer, the absorption spectrum of BDTID-BDT3MT is induced to exhibit an unusually broad, strong, and uniform band in the wavelength interval from 300 to 750 nm, which helps achieving highly efficient light harvesting under solar illumination. The intriguing panchromatic absorption behavior of BDTID-BDT3MT was explained on the basis of theoretical calculations using simplified repeating units. Polymer solar cells (PSCs) based on BDTID-BDT3MT as a donating polymer and non-fullerene acceptors (e.g., ITIC-4F) exhibited a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.38%, high open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.88 V, and short circuit current density (Jsc) of 13.74 mA/cm2, while PSCs based on ternary blend systems consisting of BDTID, BDT3MT, and ITIC-4F exhibited lower PCE and Jsc of 3.74% and 11.15 mA/cm2, respectively. The superior performance of PSCs based on BDTID-BDT3MT can be attributed to their high light harvesting efficiencies and relatively more favorable nano-phase film morphologies. Our results establish that BDT, ID, and 3 MT units serve as useful building blocks in the structure of conjugated terpolymers due to their remarkably broad panchromatic absorption band.
