Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have made rapid advances in efficiency when fabricated as small‐area devices. A key challenge is to increase the active area while retaining high performance, which requires fast and reliable measurement techniques to spatially resolve cell properties. Luminescence imaging‐based techniques are one attractive possibility. A thermodynamic treatment of the luminescence radiation from MAPbI3 and related perovskite semiconductors predicts that the intensity of luminescence emission is proportional to the electrochemical potential in the perovskite absorber, bringing with it numerous experimental advantages. However, concerns arise about the impact of the often‐observed hysteretic behavior on the interpretation of luminescence‐based measurements. This study demonstrates that despite their hysteretic phenomena, at steady‐state perovskite solar cells are amenable to quantitative analysis of luminescence images. This is demonstrated by calculating the spatial distribution of series resistance from steady‐state photoluminescence images. This study observes good consistency between the magnitude, voltage‐dependence, and spatial distribution of series resistance calculated from luminescence images and from cell‐level current–voltage curves and uncalibrated luminescence images, respectively. This method has significant value for the development of PSC process control, design and material selection, and illustrates the possibilities for large‐area, spatially resolved, quantitative luminescence imaging‐based characterization of PSCs.  相似文献

Halide perovskites are currently one of the most heavily researched emerging photovoltaic materials. Despite achieving remarkable power conversion efficiencies, perovskite solar cells have not yet achieved their full potential, with the interfaces between the perovskite and the charge‐selective layers being where most recombination losses occur. In this study, a fluorinated ionic liquid (IL) is employed to modify the perovskite/SnO2 interface. Using Kelvin probe and photoelectron spectroscopy measurements, it is shown that depositing the perovskite onto an IL‐treated substrate results in the crystallization of a perovskite film which has a more n‐type character, evidenced by a decrease of the work function and a shift of the Fermi level toward the conduction band. Photoluminescence spectroscopy and time‐resolved microwave conductivity are used to investigate the optoelectronic properties of the perovskite grown on neat and IL‐modified surfaces and it is found that the modified substrate yields a perovskite film which exhibits an order of magnitude lower trap density than the control. When incorporated into solar cells, this interface modification results in a reduction in the current–voltage hysteresis and an improvement in device performance, with the best performing devices achieving steady‐state PCEs exceeding 20%.  相似文献

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells are increasingly recognized as promi­sing candidates for next‐generation photovoltaics with performance beyond the single‐junction limit at potentially low production costs. Current designs for monolithic tandems rely on transparent conductive oxides as an intermediate recombination layer, which lead to optical losses and reduced shunt resistance. An improved recombination junction based on nanocrystalline silicon layers to mitigate these losses is demonstrated. When employed in monolithic perovskite/silicon heterojunction tandem cells with a planar front side, this junction is found to increase the bottom cell photocurrent by more than 1 mA cm?2. In combination with a cesium‐based perovskite top cell, this leads to tandem cell power‐conversion efficiencies of up to 22.7% obtained from JV measurements and steady‐state efficiencies of up to 22.0% during maximum power point tracking. Thanks to its low lateral conductivity, the nanocrystalline silicon recombination junction enables upscaling of monolithic perovskite/silicon heterojunction tandem cells, resulting in a 12.96 cm2 monolithic tandem cell with a steady‐state efficiency of 18%.  相似文献

Organic‐inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells show hysteresis in their current–voltage curve measured at a certain voltage sweep rate. Coinciding with a slow transient current response, the hysteresis is attributed to a slow voltage‐driven (ionic) charge redistribution in the perovskite solar cell. Thus, the electric field profile and in turn the electron/hole collection efficiency become dependent on the biasing history. Commonly, a positive prebias is beneficial for a high power‐conversion efficiency. Fill factor and open‐circuit voltage increase because the prebias removes the driving force for charge to pile‐up at the electrodes, which screen the electric field. Here, it is shown that the piled‐up charge can also be beneficial. It increases the probability for electron extraction in case of extraction barriers due to an enhanced electric field allowing for tunneling or dipole formation at the perovskite/electrode interface. In that case, an inverted hysteresis is observed, resulting in higher performance metrics for a voltage sweep starting at low prebias. This inverted hysteresis is particularly pronounced in mixed‐cation mixed‐halide systems which comprise a new generation of perovskite solar cells that makes it possible to reach power‐conversion efficiencies beyond 20%.  相似文献

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells are attractive for their potential for boosting cell efficiency beyond the crystalline silicon (Si) single‐junction limit. However, the relatively large optical refractive index of Si, in comparison to that of transparent conducting oxides and perovskite absorber layers, results in significant reflection losses at the internal junction between the cells in monolithic (two‐terminal) devices. Therefore, light management is crucial to improve photocurrent absorption in the Si bottom cell. Here it is shown that the infrared reflection losses in tandem cells processed on a flat silicon substrate can be significantly reduced by using an optical interlayer consisting of nanocrystalline silicon oxide. It is demonstrated that 110 nm thick interlayers with a refractive index of 2.6 (at 800 nm) result in 1.4 mA cm?² current gain in the silicon bottom cell. Under AM1.5G irradiation, the champion 1 cm2 perovskite/silicon monolithic tandem cell exhibits a top cell + bottom cell total current density of 38.7 mA cm?2 and a certified stabilized power conversion efficiency of 25.2%.  相似文献

Instability in perovskite solar cells is the main challenge for the commercialization of this solar technology. Here, a contactless, nondestructive approach is reported to study degradation across perovskite and perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. The technique employs spectrally and spatially resolved absorptivity at sub‐bandgap wavelengths of perovskite materials, extracted from their luminescence spectra. Parasitic absorption in other layers, carrier diffusion, and photon smearing phenomena are all demonstrated to have negligible effects on the extracted absorptivity. The absorptivity is demonstrated to reflect real degradation in the perovskite film and is much more robust and sensitive than its luminescence spectral peak position, representing its optical bandgap, and intensity. The technique is applied to study various common factors which induce and accelerate degradation in perovskite solar cells including air and heat exposure and light soaking. Finally, the technique is employed to extract the individual absorptivity component from the perovskite layer in a monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem structure. The results demonstrate the value of this approach for monitoring degradation mechanisms in perovskite and perovskite/silicon tandem cells at early stages of degradation and various fabrication stages.  相似文献

The influence of illumination on the long‐term performance of planar structured perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is investigated using fast and spatially resolved luminescence imaging. The authors analyze the effect of illuminated current density–voltage (JV) and light‐soaking measurements on pristine PSCs by providing visual evidence for the spatial inhomogeneous evolution of device performance. Regions that are exposed to light initially produce stronger electroluminescence signals than surrounding unilluminated regions, mainly due to a lower contact resistance and, possibly, higher charge collection efficiency. Over a period of several days, however, these initially illuminated regions appear to degrade more quickly despite the device being stored in a dark, moisture‐ and oxygen‐free environment. Using transmission electron microscopy, this accelerated degradation is attributed to delamination between the perovskite and the titanium dioxide (TiO2) layer. An ion migration mechanism is proposed for this delamination process, which is in accordance with previous current–voltage hysteresis observations. These results provide evidence for the intrinsic instability of CH3NH3PbI3‐based devices under illumination and have major implications for the design of PSCs from the standpoint of long‐term performance and stability.  相似文献

Solution‐processable halide perovskites have emerged as strong contenders for next‐generation solar cells owing to their favorable optoelectronic properties. To maintain the efficiency momentum of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), development of advanced processing techniques, particularly for the perovskite layer, is imperative. There is a close correlation between the quality of the perovskite layer and its photophysical properties: Highly crystalline large grains with uniform morphology of the perovskite layer and their interface with charge transporters are crucial for achieving high performance. Significant efforts have been dedicated to achieve perovskite films with large grains reaching the millimeter‐scale for high‐efficiency PSCs. Recent work showcases a transition from large grain polycrystalline to single‐crystalline (SC) PSCs made possible by the facile growth of perovskite single crystals. In this review, the recent progress of the large grain polycrystalline PSCs and grain boundary‐free SC‐PSCs is reported, particularly focusing on the recent approach of depositing large‐grained perovskite layers and single crystal growth technique, that have been adopted for fabrication of efficient PSCs. In addition, prospects of SC‐PSCs and their further development in terms of efficiency, device design, scalability, and stability are discussed.  相似文献

Adding cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) cations to FA0.83MA0.17Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 hybrid lead halide perovskites results in a remarkable improvement in solar cell performance, but the origin of the enhancement has not been fully understood yet. In this work, time‐of‐flight, time‐resolved microwave conductivity, and thermally stimulated current measurements are performed to elucidate the impact of the inorganic cation additives on the trap landscape and charge transport properties within perovskite solar cells. These complementary techniques allow for the assessment of both local features within the perovskite crystals and macroscopic properties of films and full devices. Strikingly, Cs‐incorporation is shown to reduce the trap density and charge recombination rates in the perovskite layer. This is consistent with the significant improvements in the open‐circuit voltage and fill factor of Cs‐containing devices. By comparison, Rb‐addition results in an increased charge carrier mobility, which is accompanied by a minor increase in device efficiency and reduced current–voltage hysteresis. By mixing Cs and Rb in quadruple cation (Cs‐Rb‐FA‐MA) perovskites, the advantages of both inorganic cations can be combined. This study provides valuable insights into the role of these additives in multiple‐cation perovskite solar cells, which are essential for the design of high‐performance devices.  相似文献

Planar perovskite solar cells obtained by low‐temperature solution processing are of great promise, given a high compatibility with flexible substrates and perovskite‐based tandem devices, whilst benefitting from relatively simple manufacturing methods. However, ionic defects at surfaces usually cause detrimental carrier recombination, which links to one of dominant losses in device performance, slow transient responses, and notorious hysteresis. Here, it is shown that several different types of ionic defects can be simultaneously passivated by simple inorganic binary alkaline halide salts with their cations and anions. Compared to previous literature reports, this work demonstrates a promising passivation technology for perovskite solar cells. The efficient defect passivation significantly suppresses the recombination at the SnO2/perovskite interface, contributing to an increase in the open‐circuit voltage, the fast response of steady‐state efficiency, and the elimination of hysteresis. By this strong leveraging of multiple‐element passivation, low‐temperature‐processed, planar‐structured perovskite solar cells of 20.5% efficiencies, having negligible hysteresis, are obtained. Moreover, this defect‐passivation enhances the stability of solar cells with efficiency beyond 20%, retaining 90% of their initial performance after 30 d. This approach aims at developing the concept of defect engineering, which can be expanded to multiple‐element passivation from monoelement counterparts using simple and low‐cost inorganic materials.  相似文献

As performance of halide perovskite devices progresses, the device structure becomes more complex with more layers. Molecular interfacial structures between different layers play an increasingly important role in determining the overall performance in a halide perovskite device. However, current understanding of such interfacial structures at a molecular level nondestructively is limited, partially due to a lack of appropriate analytical tools to probe buried interfacial molecular structures in situ. Here, sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy, a state‐of‐the‐art nonlinear interface sensitive spectroscopy, is introduced to the halide perovskite research community and is presented as a powerful tool to understand molecule behavior at buried halide perovskite interfaces in situ. It is found that interfacial molecular orientations revealed by SFG can be directly correlated to halide perovskite device performance. Here how SFG can examine molecular structures (e.g., orientations) at the perovskite/hole transporting layer and perovskite/electron transporting layer interfaces is discussed. This will promote the use of SFG to investigate molecular structures of buried interfaces in various halide perovskite materials and devices in situ nondestructively with a sub‐monolayer interface sensitivity. Such research will help to elucidate structure–function relationships of buried interfaces, aiding in the rational design/development of halide perovskite materials/devices with improved performance.  相似文献

All‐inorganic perovskite semiconductors have recently drawn increasing attention owing to their outstanding thermal stability. Although all‐inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved significant progress in recent years, they still fall behind their prototype organic–inorganic counterparts owing to severe energy losses. Therefore, there is considerable interest in further improving the performance of all‐inorganic PSCs by synergic optimization of perovskite films and device interfaces. This review article provides an overview of recent progress in inorganic PSCs in terms of lead‐based and lead‐free composition. The physical properties of all‐inorganic perovskite semiconductors as well as the hole/electron transporting materials are discussed to unveil the important role of composition engineering and interface modification. Finally, a discussion of the prospects and challenges for all‐inorganic PSCs in the near future is presented.  相似文献

Owing to their high efficiency, low‐cost solution‐processability, and tunable bandgap, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) made of hybrid organic‐inorganic perovskite (HOIP) thin films are promising top‐cell candidates for integration with bottom‐cells based on Si or other low‐bandgap solar‐cell materials to boost the power conversion efficiency (PCE) beyond the Shockley‐Quiesser (S‐Q) limit. In this review, recent progress in such tandem solar cells based on the emerging PSCs is summarized and reviewed critically. Notable achievements for different tandem solar cell configurations including mechanically‐stacked, optical coupling, and monolithically‐integrated with PSCs as top‐cells are described in detail. Highly‐efficient semitransparent PSC top‐cells with high transmittance in near‐infrared (NIR) region are critical for tandem solar cells. Different types of transparent electrodes with high transmittance and low sheet‐resistance for PSCs are reviewed, which presents a grand challenge for PSCs. The strategies to obtain wide‐bandgap PSCs with good photo‐stability are discussed. The PCE reduction due to reflection loss, parasitic absorption, electrical loss, and current mismatch are analyzed to provide better understanding of the performance of PSC‐based tandem solar cells.  相似文献

ABX3 type metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown efficiencies over 25%, rocketing toward their theoretical limit. To gain the full potential of PSCs relies on the understanding of the device working mechanisms and recombination, the material quality, and the match of energy levels in the device stacks. In this review, the importance of designing PSCs from the viewpoint of surface/interface science studies is presented. For this purpose, recent case studies are discussed to demonstrate how probing of local heterogeneities (e.g., grains, grain boundaries, atomic structure, etc.) in perovskites by surface science techniques can help correlate material properties and PSC device performance. At the solar cell device level with active areas larger than millimeter scale, the ensemble average measurement techniques can characterize the overall average properties of perovskite films as well as their adjacent layers and provide clues to understand better the solar cell parameters. How generation and healing of electronic defects in perovskite films limit the device efficiency, reproducibility, and stability, and induce the time‐dependent transient behavior in the current‐voltage curves are also the central focus of this review. On the basis of these studies, strategies to further improve efficiency and stability, as well as reducing hysteresis are presented.  相似文献

Multijunction solar cells employing perovskite and crystalline‐silicon (c‐Si) light absorbers bear the exciting potential to surpass the efficiency limit of market‐leading single‐junction c‐Si solar cells. However, scaling up this technology and maintaining high efficiency over large areas are challenging as evidenced by the small‐area perovskite/c‐Si multijunction solar cells reported so far. In this work, a scalable four‐terminal multijunction solar module design employing a 4 cm2 semitransparent methylammonium lead triiodide perovskite solar module stacked on top of an interdigitated back contact c‐Si solar cell of identical area is demonstrated. With a combination of optimized transparent electrodes and efficient module design, the perovskite/c‐Si multijunction solar modules exhibit power conversion efficiencies of 22.6% on 0.13 cm2 and 20.2% on 4 cm2 aperture area. Furthermore, a detailed optoelectronic loss analysis along with strategies to enhance the performance is discussed.  相似文献

The article commences with a review focusing on three critical aspects of the perovskite/Si tandem technology: the evolution of efficiencies to date, comparisons of Si subcell choices, and the interconnection design strategies. Building on this review, a clear route is provided for minimizing optical losses aided by optical simulations of a recently reported high‐efficiency perovskite/Si tandem system, optimizations which result in tandem current densities of ≈20 mAcm?2 with front‐side texture. The primary focus is on electrical modeling on the Si‐subcell, in order to understand the efficiency potential of this cell under filtered light in a tandem configuration. The possibility of increasing the Si subcell efficiency by 1% absolute is offered through joint improvements to the bulk lifetime, which exceeds 4 ms, and improves surface passivation quality to saturation current densities below 10 fA cm?2. Polycrystalline‐Si/SiOx passivating contacts are proposed as a promising alternative to partial‐area rear contacts, with the potential for further simplifying cell fabrication and improving device performance. A combination of optical modeling of the complete tandem structure alongside electrical modeling of the Si‐subcell, both with state‐of‐the‐art modeling tools, provides the first complete picture of the practical efficiency potential of perovskite/Si tandems.  相似文献

The unsatisfactory performance of low‐bandgap mixed tin (Sn)–lead (Pb) halide perovskite subcells has been one of the major obstacles hindering the progress of the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of all‐perovskite tandem solar cells. By analyzing dark‐current density and distribution, it is identified that charge recombination at grain boundaries is a key factor limiting the performance of low‐bandgap mixed Sn–Pb halide perovskite subcells. It is further found that bromine (Br) incorporation can effectively passivate grain boundaries and lower the dark current density by two–three orders of magnitude. By optimizing the Br concentration, low‐bandgap (1.272 eV) mixed Sn–Pb halide perovskite solar cells are fabricated with open‐circuit voltage deficits as low as 0.384 V and fill factors as high as 75%. The best‐performing device demonstrates a PCE of >19%. The results suggest an important direction for improving the performance of low‐bandgap mixed Sn–Pb halide perovskite solar cells.  相似文献

Novel large π‐conjugated carbon material, graphdiyne (GD), as a dopant to poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) hole‐transporting material (HTM) layer, is introduced into perovskite solar cells for the first time. Raman spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal that relatively strong π–π stacking interaction occurs between GD particles and P3HT (so‐called P3HT/GD composite HTM), favorable for the hole transportation and improvement of the cell performance. On the other hand, some GD aggregates exhibit a scattering nature, and thus help to increase the light absorption of the perovskite solar cells in the long wavelength range. As high as 14.58% light‐to‐electricity conversion efficiency is achieved, superior to the pristine P3HT‐based devices. Additionally, the devices exhibit good stability and reproducibility. Time‐resolved photoluminescence decay measurements reveal that the P3HT/GD HTM can accelerate the hole extraction compared with pristine P3HT.  相似文献

Outstanding material properties of organic‐inorganic hybrid perovskites have triggered a new insight into the next‐generation solar cells. Beyond solar cells, a wide range of controllable properties of hybrid perovskites, particularly depending on crystal growth conditions, enables versatile high‐performance optoelectronic devices such as light‐emitting diodes, photodetectors, and lasers. This article highlights recent progress in the crystallization strategies of organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites for use as effective light harvesters or light emitters. Fundamental background on perovskite crystalline structures and relevant optoelectronic properties such as optical band‐gap, electron‐hole behavior, and energy band alignment are given. A detailed overview of the effective crystallization methods for perovskites, including thermal treatment, additives, solvent mediator, laser irradiation, nanostructure, and crystal dimensionalityis reported offering a comprehensive correlation among perovskite processing conditions, crystalline morphology, and relevant device performance. Finally, future research directions to overcome current practical bottlenecks and move towards reliable high performance perovskite optoelectronic applications are proposed.  相似文献

Realizing solar‐to‐hydrogen (STH) efficiencies close to 20% using low‐cost semiconductors remains a major step toward accomplishing the practical viability of photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen generation technologies. Dual‐absorber tandem cells combining inexpensive semiconductors are a promising strategy to achieve high STH efficiencies at a reasonable cost. Here, a perovskite photovoltaic biased silicon (Si) photoelectrode is demonstrated for highly efficient stand‐alone solar water splitting. A p+nn+ ‐Si/Ti/Pt photocathode is shown to present a remarkable photon‐to‐current efficiency of 14.1% under biased condition and stability over three days under continuous illumination. Upon pairing with a semitransparent mixed perovskite solar cell of an appropriate bandgap with state‐of‐the‐art performance, an unprecedented 17.6% STH efficiency is achieved for self‐driven solar water splitting. Modeling and analysis of the dual‐absorber PEC system reveal that further work into replacing the noble‐metal catalyst materials with earth‐abundant elements and improvement of perovskite fill factor will pave the way for the realization of a low‐cost high‐efficiency PEC system.  相似文献
