RESUMO
In this work, NH2CH=NH2PbI3 (FAPbI3) was employed for light harvesting in inverted planer perovskite solar cells for the first time. Except for the silver cathode, all layers were solution-processed under or below 140 °C. The effect of the annealing process on device performance was investigated. The FAPbI3 solar cells based on a slowed-down annealing shows superior performance compared to the CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3)-based devices, especially for the short circuit current density. A power conversion efficiency of 13.56% was obtained with high short circuit current density of 21.48 mA cm(-2). This work paves the way for low-temperature fabrication of efficient inverted planer structure FAPbI3 perovskite solar cells.
RESUMO
Perovskite film generally has rough surface morphology due to the voids between the grain domains. Smoothed interface contact between the perovskite layer and the top electrode is critical for planar perovskite solar cells. We reported high efficiency bromine-iodine based perovskite solar cells with a flattening cathode interface by incorporating a solution-processed bathocuproine (sBCP) interfacial layer at the cathode side. Compared with vacuum evaporated bathocuproine (eBCP), sBCP demonstrated an excellent surface modification effect at the cathode side with very smaller charge transfer resistance. Accordingly, a high fill factor exceeding 85% and a power conversion efficiency exceeding 13% in CH3NH3PbI3-xBrx based perovskite solar cells were achieved. The largely improved fill factor was attributed to the smooth film morphology and full surface coverage of perovskite films modified by the solution-processed BCP layer.
RESUMO
A new approach to improve the quality of MAPbI3 - x Cl x perovskite film was demonstrated. It involves annealing the precursor film after pumping away the solvent, which can decrease the influence of solvent evaporation rate for the growth of the MAPbI3 - x Cl x perovskite film. The resulting film showed improved morphology, stronger absorption, fewer crystal defects, and smaller charge transfer resistance. The corresponding device demonstrated enhanced performance when compared with a reference device. The averaged value of power conversion efficiency increased from 10.61 to 12.56 %, and a champion efficiency of 14.0 % was achieved. This work paves a new way to improve the efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
RESUMO
Planar structure has been proven to be efficient and convenient in fabricating low-temperature and solution-processing perovkite solar cells (PSCs). Interface control and crystal film growth of organometal halide films are regarded as the most important factors to obtain high-performance PSCs. Herein, we report a solution-processed PEDOT: PSS-GeO2 composite films by simply incorporating the GeO2 aqueous solution into the PEDOT: PSS aqueous dispersion as a hole transport layer in planar PSCs. Besides the merits of high conductivity, ambient stability and interface modification of PEDOT: PSS-GeO2 composite films, the formed island-like GeO2 particles are assumed to act as growing sites of crystal nucleus of perovskite films during annealing. By the seed-mediation of GeO2 particles, a superior CH3NH3PbI(3-x)Cl(x) crystalline film with large-scale domains and good film uniformity was obtained. The resulting PSC device with PEDOT: PSS-GeO2 composite film as HTL shows a best performance with 15.15% PCE and a fill factor (FF) of 74%. There is a remarkable improvement (â¼37%) in PCE, from 9.87% to 13.54% (in average for over 120 devices), compared with the reference pristine PEDOT: PSS based device.
