Due to their excellent thermal stability and ideal bandgap, metal halide inorganic perovskite based solar cells (PSCs) with inverted structure are considered as an choice for perovskite/silicon tandem cells. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of still lags far behind that conventional n-i-p PSCs due interfacial energy level mismatch high nonradiative charge recombination. Herein, performance is significantly improved by engineering CsPbI3-x Brx films 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI). It found mercapto group can preferably react undercoordinated Pb2+ from forming Pb-S bonds, which appreciably reduces surface trap density. Moreover, MMI modification results in a better alignment electron-transporting material, promoting carrier transfer reducing voltage deficit. The above combination open-circuit enhancement 120 mV, yielding champion PCE 20.6% 0.09 cm2 area 17.3% 1 area. Furthermore, ambient, operational heat stabilities also greatly improved. work demonstrates simple but effective approach fabricating highly efficient stable PSCs.

Abstract CsPbI 3 perovskite receives tremendous attention for photovoltaic applications due to its ideal band gap and good thermal stability. However, solar cells (PSCs) significantly suffer from photovoltage deficits because of serious interfacial energy losses within the PSCs, which a large extent affects performance PSCs.

Defect Passivation and Lithium Ion Coordination Via Hole Transporting Layer Modification for High Performance Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Materials, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 36(4)

Published: Aug. 24, 2023

Abstract Metal halide inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have great potential to achieve high efficiency with excellent thermal stability. However, the surface defect traps restrain achievement of open circuit voltage ( V OC ) and power conversion (PCE) devices due severe nonradiative charge recombination. Moreover, state‐of‐the‐art hole transporting layer (HTL) significantly hampers device moisture stability, even though it renders highest cell efficiency. Herein, a one‐stone‐two‐birds strategy is proposed using biocompatible material tryptamine (TA) as an additive in HTL. First, TA bearing electron rich moieties can favorably passivate defects films, reducing trap density prolonging lifetime. It results drastic improvement from 1.192 1.251 V, loss 0.48 V. The corresponding PSCs 21.8% PCE under 100 mW cm −2 illumination. Second, HTL coordinate lithium cations, retarding their reaction increasing stability Consequently, black phase films well preserved, maintain 90% initial after 800 h storage at relative humidity 25–35%, much higher than control devices.
