Stable and null current hysteresis perovskite solar cells based nitrogen doped graphene oxide nanoribbons hole transport layer.

ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

Perovskite solar cells are becoming one of the leading technologies to reduce our dependency on traditional power sources. However, the frequently used component poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (

PSS) has several shortcomings, such as an easily corroded indium-tin-oxide (ITO) interface at elevated temperatures and induced electrical inhomogeneity. Herein, we propose solution-processed nitrogen-doped graphene oxide nanoribbons (NGONRs) as a hole transport layer (HTL) in perovskite solar cells, replacing the conducting polymer

Cesium-Doped Vanadium Oxide as the Hole Extraction Layer for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:In this study, we report the utilization of low-temperature solution-processed Cs-doped VOX thin films as the hole extraction layers (HELs) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). It is found that the VOX:yCs (where y is the mole ratio of Cs versus V and y = 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5) thin films possess better electrical conductivities than that of the pristine VOX thin film. As a result, the PSCs incorporated with the VOX:yCs HEL exhibit large fill factors and high short-circuit currents, with consequently high power conversion efficiencies, which is more than 30% enhancement as compared with pristine VOX HEL. Our studies provide a facial way to enhance the electrical conductivity of the hole extraction layer for boosting device performance of perovskite solar cells.

Polyaniline/Reduced Graphene Oxide Composites for Hole Transporting Layer of High-Performance Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:We herein address the optoelectronic properties of polyaniline composite films with graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide as a hole transport layer in inverted perovskite solar cells. The composite films exhibited enhanced electrical conductivity and suitable energy level matching with CH3NH3PbI3 for efficient hole extraction/transport than the pristine polyaniline film, which thus can deliver improved photovoltaic properties of device. The composite film-based devices exhibited maximum efficiency of 16.61%, which is enhanced by 21.6% from the device with the pristine polyaniline hole transport layer (efficiency = 13.66%). The reduced graphene oxide-based composite film also achieved improved long-term operative stability as compared to the pristine polyaniline-based device, demonstrating a great potential of reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline composite hole transport layer for high performance perovskite solar cells.

Surface Treatment of Cu:NiOx Hole-Transporting Layer Using ?-Alanine for Hysteresis-Free and Thermally Stable Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:Inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) using a Cu:NiOx hole transporting layer (HTL) often exhibit stability issues and in some cases J/V hysteresis. In this work, we developed a ?-alanine surface treatment process on Cu:NiOx HTL that provides J/V hysteresis-free, highly efficient, and thermally stable inverted PSCs. The improved device performance due to ?-alanine-treated Cu:NiOx HTL is attributed to the formation of an intimate Cu:NiOx/perovskite interface and reduced charge trap density in the bulk perovskite active layer. The ?-alanine surface treatment process on Cu:NiOx HTL eliminates major thermal degradation mechanisms, providing 40 times increased lifetime performance under accelerated heat lifetime conditions. By using the proposed surface treatment, we report optimized devices with high power conversion efficiency (PCE) (up to 15.51%) and up to 1000 h lifetime under accelerated heat lifetime conditions (60 °C, N2).

Hysteresis-free perovskite solar cells made of potassium-doped organometal halide perovskite.

Project description:Potassium-doped organometal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) of more than 20% power conversion efficiency (PCE) without I-V hysteresis were constructed. The crystal lattice of the organometal halide perovskite was expanded with increasing of the potassium ratio, where both absorption and photoluminescence spectra shifted to the longer wavelength, suggesting that the optical band gap decreased. In the case of the perovskite with the 5% K+, the conduction band minimum (CBM) became similar to the CBM level of the TiO2-Li. In this situation, the electron transfer barrier at the interface between TiO2-Li and the perovskite was minimised. In fact, the transient current rise at the maximum power voltages of PSCs with 5% K+ was faster than that without K+. It is concluded that stagnation-less carrier transportation could minimise the I-V hysteresis of PSCs.

Ultrathin Hole Extraction Layer for Efficient Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:Inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) incorporating poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT) as the hole transport/extraction layer have been broadly investigated in recent years. However, most PSCs which incorporate PEDOT as the hole transport layer (HTL) suffer from lower device performance stemming from reduced photocurrent and low open-circuit voltage around 0.95 V. Here, we report an ultrathin PEDOT layer as the HTL for efficient inverted structure PSCs. The transparency, conductivity, and resulting film morphology were studied and compared with traditional architectures and thicker PEDOT layers. The PSC device incorporating an ultrathin PEDOT layer shows significant improvement in short-circuit current density (J SC), open-circuit voltage (V OC), and power conversion efficiency. Because ultrathin PEDOT layers can be easily obtained by dilution, this study suggests a simple way to improve the PSC performance and provide a route to further reduce the fabrication complexity and cost of PSCs.

Efficient and Air-Stable Planar Perovskite Solar Cells Formed on Graphene-Oxide-Modified PEDOT:PSS Hole Transport Layer.

Project description:As a hole transport layer, PEDOT:PSS usually limits the stability and efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to its hygroscopic nature and inability to block electrons. Here, a graphene-oxide (GO)-modified PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer was fabricated by spin-coating a GO solution onto the PEDOT:PSS surface. PSCs fabricated on a GO-modified PEDOT:PSS layer exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.34%, which is higher than 11.90% of PSCs with the PEDOT:PSS layer. Furthermore, the stability of the PSCs was significantly improved, with the PCE remaining at 83.5% of the initial PCE values after aging for 39 days in air. The hygroscopic PSS material at the PEDOT:PSS surface was partly removed during spin-coating with the GO solution, which improves the moisture resistance and decreases the contact barrier between the hole transport layer and perovskite layer. The scattered distribution of the GO at the PEDOT:PSS surface exhibits superior wettability, which helps to form a high-quality perovskite layer with better crystallinity and fewer pin holes. Furthermore, the hole extraction selectivity of the GO further inhibits the carrier recombination at the interface between the perovskite and PEDOT:PSS layers. Therefore, the cooperative interactions of these factors greatly improve the light absorption of the perovskite layer, the carrier transport and collection abilities of the PSCs, and especially the stability of the cells.

Conjugated polyelectrolyte hole transport layer for inverted-type perovskite solar cells.

Project description:Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials offer the potential for realization of low-cost and flexible next-generation solar cells fabricated by low-temperature solution processing. Although efficiencies of perovskite solar cells have dramatically improved up to 19% within the past 5 years, there is still considerable room for further improvement in device efficiency and stability through development of novel materials and device architectures. Here we demonstrate that inverted-type perovskite solar cells with pH-neutral and low-temperature solution-processable conjugated polyelectrolyte as the hole transport layer (instead of acidicPedotPSS) exhibit a device efficiency of over 12% and improved device stability in air. As an alternative toPedotPSS, this work is the first report on the use of an organic hole transport material that enables the formation of uniform perovskite films with complete surface coverage and the demonstration of efficient, stable perovskite/fullerene planar heterojunction solar cells.

High-Hole-Mobility Metal-Organic Framework as Dopant-Free Hole Transport Layer for Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:A dopant-free hole transport layer with high mobility and a low-temperature process is desired for optoelectronic devices. Here, we study a metal-organic framework material with high hole mobility and strong hole extraction capability as an ideal hole transport layer for perovskite solar cells. By utilizing lifting-up method, the thickness controllable floating film of Ni3(2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene)2 at the gas-liquid interface is transferred onto ITO-coated glass substrate. The Ni3(2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene)2 film demonstrates high compactness and uniformity. The root-mean-square roughness of the film is 5.5 nm. The ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and the steady-state photoluminescence spectra exhibit the Ni3(HITP)2 film can effectively transfer holes from perovskite film to anode. The perovskite solar cells based on Ni3(HITP)2 as a dopant-free hole transport layer achieve a champion power conversion efficiency of 10.3%. This work broadens the application of metal-organic frameworks in the field of perovskite solar cells.

High-Performance and Hysteresis-Free Perovskite Solar Cells Based on Rare-Earth-Doped SnO2 Mesoporous Scaffold.

Project description:Tin oxide (SnO2), as electron transport material to substitute titanium oxide (TiO2) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), has aroused wide interests. However, the performance of the PSCs based on SnO2 is still hard to compete with the TiO2-based devices. Herein, a novel strategy is designed to enhance the photovoltaic performance and long-term stability of PSCs by integrating rare-earth ions Ln3+ (Sc3+, Y3+, La3+) with SnO2 nanospheres as mesoporous scaffold. The doping of Ln promotes the formation of dense and large-sized perovskite crystals, which facilitate interfacial contact of electron transport layer/perovskite layer and improve charge transport dynamics. Ln dopant optimizes the energy level of perovskite layer, reduces the charge transport resistance, and mitigates the trap state density. As a result, the optimized mesoporous PSC achieves a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.63% without hysteresis, while the undoped PSC obtains an efficiency of 19.01%. The investigation demonstrates that the rare-earth doping is low-cost and effective method to improve the photovoltaic performance of SnO2-based PSCs.

Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells based on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanodots.

Project description:The role of graphitic and amorphous nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) as additives for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is investigated. A detailed study of N-CDs: perovskite (PVSK) blends through X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, field emission scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis, and photoluminescence spectroscopy reveals the existence of interactions between N-CDs and PVSK. The amorphous or graphitic nature of these carbon nanoforms, as well as the interactions between CDs and PVSK, clearly determines the photovoltaic outcome of the PSCs. Thus, a small amount of graphitic carbon dots (g-N-CDs) leads to more-stable PSCs, while maintaining and even improving the power conversion efficiency (PCE). In addition, the long-term evaluation of the g-N-CDs-containing cells shows improvement of the PCE over time, up to 109% of the initial efficiency after 40 days while the reference performance is dropped to 86%.
