Effects of Hydroiodic Acid Concentration on the Properties of CsPbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: Inorganic cesium lead triiodide (CsPbI3) perovskite materials are becoming increasingly attractive for use in perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells, due to their almost ideal band gap energy (E g) of about 1.7 eV. To be useful as photovoltaic absorbers, the CsPbI3 must form the cubic or black phase (?-CsPbI3). To do so at relatively low temperatures, hydroiodic acid (HI) is required as a solution additive. This paper demonstrates CsPbI3 perovskite solar cells with an efficiency of 6.44%, formed using a HI concentration of 36 ?L/mL. This value is higher than the previous most commonly used HI additive concentration. Herein, by undertaking a systematic study of the HI concentration, we demonstrate that the structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of CsPbI3 solar cells, processed with this HI additive concentration, are superior.

Planar Perovskite Solar Cells Using Perovskite CsPbI3 Quantum Dots as Efficient Hole Transporting Layers.

Project description:Perovskite CsPbI3 quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized as a hole-transporting layer (HTL) of a planar perovskite solar cell (PSC). By using the Octam solution during the ligand engineering, CsPbI3 QDs exhibits a denser grain and a larger grain size due to the short-chain ligands of Octam. In addition, CsPbI3 QDs with the Octam solution showed a smooth and uniform surface on MAPbI3 film, indicating the QDs improved the microstructure of the MAPbI3 perovskite film. As a result, the PSC with CsPbI3 QDs as an HTL has the optimal open-circuit voltage as 1.09 V, the short-circuit current as 20.5 mA/cm2, and the fill factor (FF) as 75.7%, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) as 17.0%. Hence, it is inferred that introducing QDs as a HTL via the ligand engineering can effectively improve the device performance of the PSC.

Low Temperature Fabrication for High Performance Flexible CsPbI2Br Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:All-inorganic CsPbX3-based perovskites, such as CsPbI2Br, show much better thermal and illumination stability than their organic-inorganic hybrid counterparts. However, fabrication of high-quality CsPbI2Br perovskite film normally requires annealing at a high temperature (>250 °C) that is not compatible with the plastic substrate. In this work, a Lewis base adduct-promoted growth process that makes it possible to fabricate high quality CsPbI2Br perovskite films at low temperature is promoted. The mechanism is attributed to synthesized dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) adducts which allow a low activation energy route to form CsPbI2Br perovskite films during the thermal annealing treatment. A power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 13.54% is achieved. As far as it is known, this is the highest efficiency for the CsPbI2Br solar cells fabricated at low temperature (120 °C). In addition, the method enables fabrication of flexible CsPbI2Br PSCs with PCE as high as 11.73%. Surprisingly, the bare devices without any encapsulation maintain 70% of their original PCEs after being stored in ambient air for 700 h. This work provides an approach for preparing other high performance CsPbX3-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) at low temperature, particularly for flexible ones.

Organic Ligands Armored ZnO Enhances Efficiency and Stability of CsPbI2Br Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:Inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have witnessed great progress in recent years due to their superior thermal stability. As a representative, CsPbI2Br is attracting considerable attention as it can balance the high efficiency of CsPbI3 and the stability of CsPbBr3. However, most research employs doped charge transport materials or applies bilayer transport layers to obtain decent performance, which vastly complicates the fabrication process and scarcely satisfies the commercial production requirement. In this work, all-layer-doping-free inorganic CsPbI2Br PSCs using organic ligands armored ZnO as the electron transport materials achieve an encouraging performance of 16.84%, which is one of the highest efficiencies among published works. Meanwhile, both the ZnO-based CsPbI2Br film and device show superior photostability under continuous white light-emitting diode illumination and improved thermal stability under 85 °C. The remarkable enhanced performance arises from the favorable organic ligands (acetate ions) residue in the ZnO film, which not only can conduce to maintain high crystallinity of perovskite, but also passivate traps at the interface through cesium/acetate interactions, thus suppressing the photo- and thermal- induced perovskite degradation.

Natrium Doping Pushes the Efficiency of Carbon-Based CsPbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells to 10.7.

Project description:The CsPbI3 inorganic perovskite is a potential candidate for fabricating long-term operational photovoltaic devices owing to its intrinsic superb thermal stability. However, the carbon-based CsPbI3 perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) without hole transport material (HTM) are currently disadvantaged by their relatively low power conversion efficiency resulting from the poor grain quality and mismatched energy band levels of the as-made CsPbI3 films. Herein we demonstrate that by doping Na into the CsPbI3 lattice, the grain quality is significantly improved with low defect density, and also, the energy band levels are better matched to the contact electrodes, affording a higher built-in potential. Consequently, the Voc of the C-PSCs is drastically increased from 0.77 to 0.92 V, and the efficiency from 8.6% to 10.7%, a record value for the CsPbI3 PSCs without HTM. Moreover, the non-encapsulated device showed virtually no performance degradation after 70 days of storage in air atmosphere.

Bication lead iodide 2D perovskite component to stabilize inorganic α-CsPbI3 perovskite phase for high-efficiency solar cells.

Project description:Among various all-inorganic halide perovskites exhibiting better stability than organic-inorganic halide perovskites, α-CsPbI3 with the most suitable band gap for tandem solar cell application faces an issue of phase instability under ambient conditions. We discovered that a small amount of two-dimensional (2D) EDAPbI4 perovskite containing the ethylenediamine (EDA) cation stabilizes the α-CsPbI3 to avoid the undesirable formation of the nonperovskite δ phase. Moreover, not only the 2D perovskite of EDAPbI4 facilitate the formation of α-CsPbI3 perovskite films exhibiting high phase stability at room temperature for months and at 100°C for >150 hours but also the α-CsPbI3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs) display highly reproducible efficiency of 11.8%, a record for all-inorganic lead halide PSCs. Therefore, using the bication EDA presents a novel and promising strategy to design all-inorganic lead halide PSCs with high performance and reliability.

Effective Surface Treatment for High-Performance Inverted CsPbI2Br Perovskite Solar Cells with Efficiency of 15.92.

Project description:HighlightsA simple and multifunctional surface treatment strategy is proposed to address the inferior-performance inverted CsPbI2Br perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The induced-ions exchange can align energy levels, passivate both GBs and surface, and gift the solid protection from external erosions. The inverted CsPbI2Br PSCs reveal a champion efficiency of 15.92% and superior stability after moisture, operational, and thermal ages. Developing high-efficiency and stable inverted CsPbI2Br perovskite solar cells is vitally urgent for their unique advantages of removing adverse dopants and compatible process with tandem cells in comparison with the regular. However, relatively low opening circuit voltage (Voc) and limited moisture stability have lagged their progress far from the regular. Here, we propose an effective surface treatment strategy with high-temperature FABr treatment to address these issues. The induced ions exchange can not only adjust energy level, but also gift effective passivation. Meanwhile, the gradient distribution of FA+ can accelerate the carriers transport to further suppress bulk recombination. Besides, the Br-rich surface and FA+ substitution can isolate moisture erosions. As a result, the optimized devices show champion efficiency of 15.92% with Voc of 1.223 V. In addition, the tolerance of humidity and operation get significant promotion: maintaining 91.7% efficiency after aged at RH 20% ambient condition for 1300 h and 81.8% via maximum power point tracking at 45 °C for 500 h in N2. Furthermore, the unpackaged devices realize the rare reported air operational stability and, respectively, remain almost efficiency (98.9%) after operated under RH 35% for 600 min and 91.2% under RH 50% for 300 min.

Enhanced Efficiency and Stability of All-Inorganic CsPbI2 Br Perovskite Solar Cells by Organic and Ionic Mixed Passivation.

Project description:All-inorganic perovskites have been intensively investigated as potential optoelectronic materials because of their excellent thermal stability, especially for CsPbI2 Br. Herein, the authors studied the effects of mixed passivation utilizing organic phenylethylammonium bromide and inorganic ionic cesium bromide (PEABr + CsBr) on the all-inorganic perovskite (CsPbI2 Br) solar cells for the first time. The treatment with different passivation mechanisms enhances the perovskite film quality, resulting in uniform surface morphology and compact film with low trap density. Besides, the passivation improves the energy level alignment, which benefits the hole extraction at the perovskite/HTL interface and drives the interface electron separation, suppressing the charge recombination and realizing a high open-circuit voltage (Voc ). Finally, the device represents a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.70%, a Voc of 1.30 V, and an excellent fill factor (FF) of 0.82. The Voc loss and high FF should be among the best values for CsPbI2 Br based devices. Furthermore, the treated devices exhibit remarkable long-term stability with only 8% PCE loss after storing in a glove box for more than 1000 h without encapsulation.

Implementing Dopant-Free Hole-Transporting Layers and Metal-Incorporated CsPbI2Br for Stable All-Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:Mixed-halide CsPbI2Br perovskite is promising for efficient and thermally stable all-inorganic solar cells; however, the use of conventional antisolvent methods and additives-based hole-transporting layers (HTLs) currently hampers progress. Here, we have employed hot-air-assisted perovskite deposition in ambient condition to obtain high-quality photoactive CsPbI2Br perovskite films and have extended stable device operation using metal cation doping and dopant-free hole-transporting materials. Density functional theory calculations are used to study the structural and optoelectronic properties of the CsPbI2Br perovskite when it is doped with metal cations Eu2+ and In3+. We experimentally incorporated Eu2+ and In3+ metal ions into CsPbI2Br films and applied dopant-free copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN) and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-based materials as low-cost hole transporting layers, leading to record-high power conversion efficiencies of 15.27% and 15.69%, respectively, and a retention of >95% of the initial efficiency over 1600 h at 85 °C thermal stress.

Unraveling Passivation Mechanism of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids on Inorganic Perovskite to Achieve Near-Record-Efficiency CsPbI2Br Solar Cells.

Project description:The application of ionic liquids in perovskite has attracted wide-spread attention for its astounding performance improvement of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the detailed mechanisms behind the improvement remain mysterious. Herein, a series of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (IILs) with different cations and anions is systematically investigated to elucidate the passivation mechanism of IILs on inorganic perovskites. It is found that IILs display the following advantages: (1) They form ionic bonds with Cs+ and Pb2+ cations on the surface and at the grain boundaries of perovskite films, which could effectively heal/reduce the Cs+/I- vacancies and Pb-related defects; (2) They serve as a bridge between the perovskite and the hole-transport-layer for effective charge extraction and transfer; and (3) They increase the hydrophobicity of the perovskite surface to further improve the stability of the CsPbI2Br PSCs. The combination of the above effects results in suppressed non-radiative recombination loss in CsPbI2Br PSCs and an impressive power conversion efficiency of 17.02%. Additionally, the CsPbI2Br PSCs with IILs surface modification exhibited improved ambient and light illumination stability. Our results provide guidance for an in-depth understanding of the passivation mechanism of IILs in inorganic perovskites.
