Interfacial studies and band alignment engineering on the electron transport layer (ETL) play a key role for fabrication of high‐performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, an amorphous layer of SnO2 (a‐SnO2) between the TiO2 ETL and the perovskite absorber is inserted and the charge transport properties of the device are studied. The double‐layer structure of TiO2 compact layer (c‐TiO2) and a‐SnO2 ETL leads to modification of interface energetics, resulting in improved charge collection and decreased carrier recombination in PSCs. The optimized device based on a‐SnO2/c‐TiO2 ETL shows a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.4% as compared to 19.33% for c‐TiO2 based device. Moreover, the modified device demonstrates a maximum open‐circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.223 V with 387 mV loss in potential, which is among the highest reported value for PSCs with negligible hysteresis. The stability results show that the device on c‐TiO2/a‐SnO2 retains about 91% of its initial PCE value after 500 h light illumination, which is higher than pure c‐TiO2 (67%) based devices. Interestingly, using a‐SnO2/c‐TiO2 ETL the PCE loss was only 10% of initial value under continuous UV light illumination after 30 h, which is higher than that of c‐TiO2 based device (28% PCE loss).  相似文献

In addition to a good perovskite light absorbing layer, the hole and electron transport layers play a crucial role in achieving high‐efficiency perovskite solar cells. Here, a simple, one‐step, solution‐based method is introduced for fabricating high quality indium‐doped titanium oxide electron transport layers. It is shown that indium‐doping improves both the conductivity of the transport layer and the band alignment at the ETL/perovskite interface compared to pure TiO2, boosting the fill‐factor and voltage of perovskite cells. Using the optimized transport layers, a high steady‐state efficiency of 17.9% for CH3NH3PbI3‐based cells and 19.3% for Cs0.05(MA0.17FA0.83)0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3‐based cells is demonstrated, corresponding to absolute efficiency gains of 4.4% and 1.2% respectively compared to TiO2‐based control cells. In addition, a steady‐state efficiency of 16.6% for a semi‐transparent cell is reported and it is used to achieve a four‐terminal perovskite‐silicon tandem cell with a steady‐state efficiency of 24.5%.  相似文献

The performance of perovskite solar cells is sensitive to detrimental defects, which are prone to accumulate at the interfaces and grain boundaries of bulk perovskite films. Defect passivation at each region will lead to reduced trap density and thus less nonradiative recombination loss. However, it is challenging to passivate defects at both the grain boundaries and the bottom charge transport layer/perovskite interface, mainly due to the solvent incompatibility and complexity in perovskite formation. Here SnO2‐KCl composite electron transport layer (ETL) is utilized in planar perovskite solar cells to simultaneously passivate the defects at the ETL/perovskite interface and the grain boundaries of perovskite film. The K and Cl ions at the ETL/perovskite interface passivate the ETL/perovskite contact. Meanwhile, K ions from the ETL can diffuse through the perovskite film and passivate the grain boundaries. An enhancement of open‐circuit voltage from 1.077 to 1.137 V and a corresponding power conversion efficiency increasing from 20.2% to 22.2% are achieved for the devices using SnO2‐KCl composite ETL. The composite ETL strategy reported herein provides an avenue for defect passivation to further increase the efficiency of perovskite solar cells.  相似文献

For practical use of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) the instability issues of devices, attributed to degradation of perovskite molecules by moisture, ions migration, and thermal‐ and light‐instability, have to be solved. Herein, highly efficient and stable PSCs based on perovskite/Ag‐reduced graphene oxide (Ag‐rGO) and mesoporous Al2O3/graphene (mp‐AG) composites are reported. The mp‐AG composite is conductive with one‐order of magnitude higher mobility than mp‐TiO2 and used for electron transport layer (ETL). Compared to the mp‐TiO2 ETL based cells, the champion device based on perovskite/Ag‐rGO and SrTiO3/mp‐AG composites shows overall a best performance (i.e., VOC = 1.057 V, JSC = 25.75 mA cm?2, fill factor (FF) = 75.63%, and power conversion efficiency (PCE) = 20.58%). More importantly, the champion device without encapsulation exhibits not only remarkable thermal‐ and photostability but also long‐term stability, retaining 97–99% of the initial values of photovoltaic parameters and sustaining ≈93% of initial PCE over 300 d under ambient conditions.  相似文献

The high thermal stability and facile synthesis of CsPbI2Br all‐inorganic perovskite solar cells (AI‐PSCs) have attracted tremendous attention. As far as electron‐transporting layers (ETLs) are concerned, low temperature processing and reduced interfacial recombination centers through tunable energy levels determine the feasibility of the perovskite devices. Although the TiO2 is the most popular ETL used in PSCs, its processing temperature and moderate electron mobility hamper the performance and feasibility. Herein, the highly stable, low‐temperature processed MgZnO nanocrystal‐based ETLs for dynamic hot‐air processed Mn2+ incorporated CsPbI2Br AI‐PSCs are reported. By holding its regular planar “n–i–p” type device architecture, the MgZnO ETL and poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl) hole transporting layer, 15.52% power conversion efficiency (PCE) is demonstrated. The thermal‐stability analysis reveals that the conventional ZnO ETL‐based AI‐PSCs show a serious instability and poor efficiency than the Mg2+ modified MgZnO ETLs. The photovoltaic and stability analysis of this improved photovoltaic performance is attributed to the suitable wide‐bandgap, low ETL/perovskite interface recombination, and interface stability by Mg2+ doping. Interestingly, the thermal stability analysis of the unencapsulated AI‐PSCs maintains >95% of initial PCE more than 400 h at 85 °C for MgZnO ETL, revealing the suitability against thermal degradation than conventional ZnO ETL.  相似文献

Although planar‐structured perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have power conversion efficiencies exceeding 24%, the poor photostability, especially with ultraviolet irradiance (UV) severely limits commercial application. The most commonly‐used TiO2 electron selective layer has a strong photocatalytic effect on perovskite/TiO2 interface when TiO2 is excited by UV light. Here a UV‐inert ZnTiO3 is reported as the electron selective layer in planar PSCs. ZnTiO3 is a perovskite‐structured semiconductor with excellent chemical stability and poor photocatalysis. Solar cells are fabricated with a structure of indium doped tin oxide (ITO)/ZnTiO3/Cs0.05FA0.81MA0.14PbI2.55Br0.45/Sprio‐MeOTAD/Au. The champion device exhibits a stabilized power conversion efficiency of 19.8% with improved photostability. The device holds 90% of its initial efficiency after 100 h of UV soaking (365 nm, 8 mW cm?2), compared with 55% for TiO2‐based devices. This work provides a new class of electron selective materials with excellent UV stability in perovskite solar cell applications.  相似文献

Block‐copolymer templated chemical solution deposition is used to prepare mesoporous Nd‐doped TiO2 electrodes for perovskite‐based solar cells. X‐ray diffraction and photothermal deflection spectroscopy show substitutional incorporation into the TiO2 crystal lattice for low Nd concentration, and increasing interstitial doping for higher concentrations. Substitutional Nd‐doping leads to an increase in stability and performance of perovskite solar cells by eliminating defects and thus increasing electron transport and reducing charge recombination in the mesoporous TiO2. The optimized doping concentration of 0.3% Nd enables the preparation of perovskite solar cells with stabilized power conversion efficiency of >18%.  相似文献

The recent surge in efficiency and progress of organohalide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been significant. The PSC performance is significantly influenced by nanostructuring as this varies the intrinsic optical, electrical, and electrochemical properties. Diverse TiO2 electron transport layers (ETLs) are solvothermally grown on the transparent conducting oxide substrate with different dimensionalities, 0D nanoparticles (TNP), 1D nanowires (TNW) to 2D nanosheets (TNS), by varying the organic solvent used. These layers feature enhanced optical transparency (≈2%–5% transmittance improvement compared to pristine fluorine doped tin oxide, FTO, glass) minimizing light absorption losses. PSCs constructed using 1D TNW or 2D TNS yield enhanced photovoltaic performance compared to the 0D TNP counterparts. This is a result of i) improved infiltration of the perovskite in the porous TNW or TNS network and ii) facilitated electron transport and charge extraction at the TNW/perovskite or TNS/perovskite interfaces, thus reduced interfacial recombination loss. Employing a bilayered ETL film consisting of a self‐assembled TiO2 blocking layer and a subsequent TNW active layer, produces PSC devices with an efficiency exceeding 16%. This bilayered ETL film can simultaneously block the photogenerated holes and enhance electron ­extraction, therefore improving PSC performance.  相似文献

An open‐circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.57 V under simulated AM1.5 sunlight in planar MAPbBr3 solar cells with carbon (graphite) electrodes is obtained. The hole‐transport‐material‐free MAPbBr3 solar cells with the normal architecture (FTO/TiO2/MAPbBr3/carbon) show little hysteresis during current–voltage sweep under simulated AM1.5 sunlight. A solar‐to‐electricity power conversion efficiency of 8.70% is achieved with the champion device. Accordingly, it is proposed that the carbon electrodes are effective to extract photogenerated holes in MAPbBr3 solar cells, and the industry‐applicable carbon electrodes will not limit the performance of bromide‐based perovskite solar cells. Based on the analysis of the band alignment, it is found that the voltage (energy) loss across the interface between MAPbBr3 and carbon is very small compared to the offset between the valence band maximum of MAPbBr3 and the work function of graphite. This finding implies either Fermi level pinning or highly doped region inside MAPbBr3 layer exists. The band‐edge electroluminescence spectra of MAPbBr3 from the solar cells further support no back‐transfer pathways of electrons across the MAPbBr3/TiO2 interface.  相似文献

The electron transport layer (ETL) plays a fundamental role in perovskite solar cells. Recently, graphene‐based ETLs have been proved to be good candidate for scalable fabrication processes and to achieve higher carrier injection with respect to most commonly used ETLs. Here, the effects of different graphene‐based ETLs in sensitized methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI) solar cells are experimentally studied. By means of time‐integrated and picosecond time‐resolved photoluminescence techniques, the carrier recombination dynamics in MAPI films embedded in different ETLs is investigated. Using graphene doped mesoporous TiO2 (G+mTiO2) with the addition of a lithium‐neutralized graphene oxide (GO‐Li) interlayer as ETL, it is found find that the carrier collection efficiency is increased by about a factor two with respect to standard mTiO2. Taking advantage of the absorption coefficient dispersion, the MAPI layer morphology is probed, along the thickness, finding that the MAPI embedded in the ETL composed by G+mTiO2 plus GO‐Li brings to a very good crystalline quality of the MAPI layer with a trap density about one order of magnitude lower than that found with the other ETLs. In addition, this ETL freezes MAPI at the tetragonal phase, regardless of the temperature. Graphene‐based ETLs can open the way to significant improvement of perovskite solar cells.  相似文献

An amino‐functionalized copolymer with a conjugated backbone composed of fluorene, naphthalene diimide, and thiophene spacers (PFN‐2TNDI) is introduced as an alternative electron transport layer (ETL) to replace the commonly used [6,6]‐Phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) in the p–i–n planar‐heterojunction organometal trihalide perovskite solar cells. A combination of characterizations including photoluminescence (PL), time‐resolved PL decay, Kelvin probe measurement, and impedance spectroscopy is used to study the interfacial effects induced by the new ETL. It is found that the amines on the polymer side chains not only can passivate the surface traps of perovskite to improve the electron extraction properties, they also can reduce the work function of the metal cathode by forming desired interfacial dipoles. With these dual functionalities, the resulted solar cells outperform those based on PCBM with power conversion efficiency (PCE) increased from 12.9% to 16.7% based on PFN‐2TNDI. In addition to the performance enhancement, it is also found that a wide range of thicknesses of the new ETL can be applied to produce high PCE devices owing to the good electron transport property of the polymer, which offers a better processing window for potential fabrication of perovskite solar cells using large‐area coating method.  相似文献

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown great potential for photovoltaic applications with their unprecedented power conversion efficiency advancement. Such devices generally have a complex structure design with high temperature processed TiO2 as the electron transport layer (ETL). Further careful design of device configuration to fully tap the potentials of perovskite materials is expected. Particularly, for the practical application of PSCs, it is crucial to simplify their device structures thus the associated manufacturing process and cost while maintaining their efficiency to be comparable with the conventional devices. But how simple is simple? ETL‐free PSCs promise the simplest structured, thus simple manufacturing processes and low cost large area PSCs in practical applications. They can also help the further exploration of the great potential of perovskite materials and understanding the working principle of PSCs. Within this review, the evolution of the PSC is outlined by discussing the recent advances in the simplification of device configuration and processes for cost effective, highly efficient, and robust PSCs, with a focus on ETL‐free PSCs. Their advancement, key issues, working mechanism, existing problems, and future performance enhancements. This review aims to promote the future development of low cost and robust ETL‐free PSCs toward more efficient power output.  相似文献

An efficient perovskite photovoltaic‐thermoelectric hybrid device is demonstrated by integrating the hole‐conductor‐free perovskite solar cell based on TiO2/ZrO2/carbon structure and the thermoelectric generator. The whole solar spectrum of AM 1.5 G is fully utilized with the ≈1.55 eV band gap perovskite (5‐AVA)x(MA)1?xPbI3 absorbing the visible light and the carbon back contact absorbing the infrared light. The added thermoelectric generator improves the device performance by converting the thermal energy into electricity via the Seebeck effect. An optimized hybrid device is obtained with a maximum point power output of 20.3% and open‐circuit voltage of 1.29 V under the irradiation of 100 mW cm?2.  相似文献

Inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received enormous attention due to their excellent stability compared with that of their organic–inorganic counterparts. However, the lack of optimization strategies leads the inorganic PSCs to suffer from low efficiency arising from significant recombination. To overcome this dilemma, a surface modification of the electron transport layer (ETL)/perovskite interface is undertaken by using SmBr3 to improve the crystallization and morphology of the perovskite layer for enhanced ETL/perovskite interface interaction. Encouragingly, a gradient energy band is created at the interface with an outstanding hole blocking effect. As a result, both the charge recombination occurring at the interface and the nonradiative recombination inside the perovskite are suppressed, and, simultaneously, the charge extraction is improved successfully. Therefore, the power conversion efficiency of the CsPbIBr2 PSCs is increased to as high as 10.88% under one sun illumination, which is 30% higher than its counterparts without the modification. It is logically inferred that this valuable optimization strategy can be extended to other analogous structures and materials.  相似文献

Efficient conventional bulk heterojunction (BHJ) perovskite hybrid solar cells (pero‐HSCs) solution‐processed from a composite of CH3NH3PbI3 mixed with PC61BM ([6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester), where CH3NH3PbI3 acts as the electron donor and PC61BM acts as the electron acceptor, are reported for the first time. The efficiency of 12.78% is twofold enhancement in comparison with the conventional planar heterojunction pero‐HSCs (6.90%) fabricated by pristine CH3NH3PbI3. The BHJ pero‐HSCs are further optimized by using PC61BM/TiO2 bi‐electron‐extraction‐layer (EEL), which are both solution‐processed and then followed with low‐temperature thermal annealing. Due to higher electrical conductivity of PC61BM over that of TiO2, an efficiency of 14.98%, the highest reported efficiency for the pero‐HSCs without incorporating high‐temperature‐processed mesoporous TiO2 and Al2O3 as the EEL and insulating scaffold, is observed from PC61BM modified BHJ pero‐HSCs. Thus, the findings provide a simple way to approach high efficiency low‐cost pero‐HSCs.  相似文献

High‐quality charge carrier transport materials are of key importance for stable and efficient perovskite‐based photovoltaics. This work reports on electron‐beam‐evaporated nickel oxide (NiOx) layers, resulting in stable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of up to 18.5% when integrated into solar cells employing inkjet‐printed perovskite absorbers. By adding oxygen as a process gas and optimizing the layer thickness, transparent and efficient NiOx hole transport layers (HTLs) are fabricated, exhibiting an average absorptance of only 1%. The versatility of the material is demonstrated for different absorber compositions and deposition techniques. As another highlight of this work, all‐evaporated perovskite solar cells employing an inorganic NiOx HTL are presented, achieving stable PCEs of up to 15.4%. Along with good PCEs, devices with electron‐beam‐evaporated NiOx show improved stability under realistic operating conditions with negligible degradation after 40 h of maximum power point tracking at 75 °C. Additionally, a strong improvement in device stability under ultraviolet radiation is found if compared to conventional perovskite solar cell architectures employing other metal oxide charge transport layers (e.g., titanium dioxide). Finally, an all‐evaporated perovskite solar mini‐module with a NiOx HTL is presented, reaching a PCE of 12.4% on an active device area of 2.3 cm2.  相似文献

Flexible perovskite solar cells (f‐PSCs) have attracted great attention due to their promising commercial prospects. However, the performance of f‐PSCs is generally worse than that of their rigid counterparts. Herein, it is found that the unsatisfactory performance of planar heterojunction (PHJ) f‐PSCs can be attributed to the undesirable morphology of electron transport layer (ETL), which results from the rough surface of the flexible substrate. Precise control over the thickness and morphology of ETL tin dioxide (SnO2) not only reduces the reflectance of the indium tin oxide (ITO) on polyethylene 2,6‐naphthalate (PEN) substrate and enhances photon collection, but also decreases the trap‐state densities of perovskite films and the charge transfer resistance, leading to a great enhancement of device performance. Consequently, the f‐PSCs, with a structure of PEN/ITO/SnO2/perovskite/Spiro‐OMeTAD/Ag, exhibit a power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 19.51% and a steady output of 19.01%. Furthermore, the f‐PSCs show a robust bending resistance and maintain about 95% of initial PCE after 6000 bending cycles at a bending radius of 8 mm, and they present an outstanding long‐term stability and retain about 90% of the initial performance after >1000 h storage in air (10% relative humidity) without encapsulation.  相似文献

Interface engineering is critical for achieving efficient solar cells, yet a comprehensive understanding of the interface between a metal electrode and electron transport layer (ETL) is lacking. Here, a significant power conversion efficiency (PCE) improvement of fullerene/perovskite planar heterojunction solar cells from 7.5% to 15.5% is shown by inserting a fulleropyrrolidine interlayer between the silver electrode and ETL. The interface between the metal electrode and ETL is carefully examined using a variety of electrical and surface potential techniques. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements demonstrate that the interlayer enhances recombination resistance, increases electron extraction rate, and prolongs free carrier lifetime. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) is used to map the surface potential of the metal electrode and it indicates a uniform and continuous work function decrease in the presence of the fulleropyrrolidine interlayer. Additionally, the planar heterojunction fullerene/perovskite solar cells are shown to have good stability under ambient conditions.  相似文献

The reduction in electronic recombination losses by the passivation of surfaces is a key factor enabling high‐efficiency solar cells. Here a strategy to passivate surface trap states of TiO2 films used as cathode interlayers in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) through applying alumina (Al2O3) or zirconia (ZrO2) insulating nanolayers by thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) is investigated. The results suggest that the surface traps in TiO2 are oxygen vacancies, which cause undesirable recombination and high electron extraction barrier, reducing the open‐circuit voltage and the short‐circuit current of the complete OPV device. It is found that the ALD metal oxides enable excellent passivation of the TiO2 surface followed by a downward shift of the conduction band minimum. OPV devices based on different photoactive layers and using the passivated TiO2 electron extraction layers exhibit a significant enhancement of more than 30% in their power conversion efficiencies compared to their reference devices without the insulating metal oxide nanolayers. This is a result of significant suppression of charge recombination and enhanced electron extraction rates at the TiO2/ALD metal oxide/organic interface.  相似文献

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is added in the [6,6]‐Phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) electron transport layer (ETL) of planar inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs), resulting in a power conversion efficiency (PCE) improvement of ≈12%, with a hysteresis‐free PCE of 14.5%, compared to 12.9% for the pristine PCBM based device. The universality of the method is demonstrated in PSCs based on CH3NH3PbI3?x Clx and CH3NH3PbI3 perovskites, deposited through one step and two step spin coating process, respectively. After a comprehensive spectroscopic characterization of both devices, it is clear that the introduction of rGO in PCBM ETL results in an important increase of the ETL conductivity, together with reduced series resistance and surface roughness. As a result, a significant photoluminescence quenching of such perovskite/ETL is observed, confirming the increased measured short circuit current density. Transient absorption measurements reveal that in the rGO‐based device, the relaxation process of the excited electrons is significantly faster compared to the reference, which implies that the charge injection rate is significantly faster for the first. Furthermore, the light soaking effect is significantly reduced. Finally, aging measurements reveal that the rGO stabilizes the ELT/perovskite interface, which results in the stabilization of perovskite crystal structure after prolonged illumination.  相似文献
