Highly Regioselective Synthesis of Bisadduct[C70] Additive toward the Enhanced Performance of Perovskite Solar Cells

ABSTRACT: The high-regioselective synthesis of bisadducts based on low-symmetry C70 has been a challenging work due to the large amount of formed regioisomers, which require tedious separation procedures for isomeric purity and block their application in different fields. Herein, we successfully obtained a novel 1, 2, 3, 4-bis(triazolino)fullerene[C70] 2 with high regioselectivity by the rigid tether-directed regioselective synthesis strategy and the corresponding molecular structure was unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography characterization. The crystal data clearly show that the addition occurs at the domain of corannulene moiety at the end of ellipse C70 as well as the 1, 2, 3, 4-addition sites located at one hexagonal ring with a [6,6]-closed addition pattern. Furthermore, 2 was applied as an additive of perovskite layer to construct MAPbI3-based regular (n-i-p) perovskite solar cells, affording the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.59%, which is a 7% enhancement relative to that of control devices without additive.

α-DTC70 Fullerene Performs Significantly Better than β-DTC70 as Electron Transporting Material in Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:In this work, two new C70 isomers, α and β bis(2-(thiophen-2-yl)ethyl)-C70-fullerene mono-adducts (DTC70), were synthesized, characterized and used as electron transporting materials (ETMs) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Our results show that the α isomer improves both the J sc and FF values of the devices, when compared to the results for the β-isomer and to those for phenyl-C70-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM), used as control. Devices based on α-DTC70 achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.9%, which is higher than that observed with PC71BM (15.1%).

Heterogeneous FASnI3 Absorber with Enhanced Electric Field for High-Performance Lead-Free Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:Lead-free tin perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have undergone rapid development in recent years and are regarded as a promising eco-friendly photovoltaic technology. However, a strategy to suppress charge recombination via a built-in electric field inside a tin perovskite crystal is still lacking. In the present study, a formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI3) perovskite absorber with a vertical Sn2+ gradient was fabricated using a Lewis base-assisted recrystallization method to enhance the built-in electric field and minimize the bulk recombination loss inside the tin perovskites. Depth-dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the Fermi level upshifts with an increase in Sn2+ content from the bottom to the top in this heterogeneous FASnI3 film, which generates an additional electric field to prevent the trapping of photo-induced electrons and holes. Consequently, the Sn2+-gradient FASnI3 absorber exhibits a promising efficiency of 13.82% for inverted tin PSCs with an open-circuit voltage increase of 130 mV, and the optimized cell maintains over 13% efficiency after continuous operation under 1-sun illumination for 1,000 h.

An amorphous MgF2 anti-reflective thin film for enhanced performance of inverted organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells.

Project description:The effective control of light plays an important role in optoelectronic devices. However, the effect of anti-reflection thin film (ARTF) in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) (p-i-n) has so far remained elusive. Herein, MgF2 ARTF with different thicknesses (approximately 100, 330, and 560 nm) were deposited on the glass side of FTO conductive glass substrates by vacuum thermal evaporation. The results of reflectance and transmittance spectroscopy show that approximately 330 nm MgF2 ARTF can reduce reflectivity and increase transmittance on FTO conductive glass substrates. The results of SEM, XRD, and AFM show that the surface of amorphous MgF2 ARTF possesses a lot of nanoscale pits. The effect of the MgF2 ARTF on the performance of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) (p-i-n) was investigated. The power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of inverted PSCs without and with MgF2 ARTF are 18.20 and 21.28%, respectively. The significant improvement in PCE of the devices with MgF2 ARTF is caused by the improvement in short-circuit current density. The stability results of the devices show that the PCE remains above 70% of the initial PCE after 300 h illumination.

Toward Highly Thermal Stable Perovskite Solar Cells by Rational Design of Interfacial Layer.

Project description:Heat is crucial to the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). Herein, thermal stability of PVSCs based on metal oxide (MO) and polymer (P) was investigated. Firstly, chemical decomposition behavior of perovskite films was characterized and analyzed, revealing that chemically active MO would accelerate the decomposition of methylamine lead iodide (MAPbI3). Secondly, thermal-induced stress, resulting from the mismatched thermal expansion coefficients of different layers of PVSCs, and its effect on the mechanical stability of perovskite films were studied. Combining experiment and simulation, we conclude that "soft" (low modulus) and thick (>20 nm) interfacial layers offer better relaxation of thermal-induced stress. As a result, PVSCs employing thick polymer interfacial layer offer a remarkably improved thermal stability. This work offers not only the degradation insight of perovskite films on different substrates but also the path toward highly thermal stable PVSCs by rational design of interfacial layers.

The Dawn of Lead-Free Perovskite Solar Cell: Highly Stable Double Perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6 Film.

Project description:Recently, lead-free double perovskites have emerged as a promising environmentally friendly photovoltaic material for their intrinsic thermodynamic stability, appropriate bandgaps, small carrier effective masses, and low exciton binding energies. However, currently no solar cell based on these double perovskites has been reported, due to the challenge in film processing. Herein, a first lead-free double perovskite planar heterojunction solar cell with a high quality Cs2AgBiBr6 film, fabricated by low-pressure assisted solution processing under ambient conditions, is reported. The device presents a best power conversion efficiency of 1.44%. The preliminary efficiency and the high stability under ambient condition without encapsulation, together with the high film quality with simple processing, demonstrate promise for lead-free perovskite solar cells.

Enhanced device performance and stability of perovskite solar cells with low-temperature ZnO/TiO2 bilayered electron transport layers.

Project description:The instability of perovskite films is a major issue for perovskite solar cells based on ZnO electron transport layers (ETLs). Here, ZnO nanoparticle (NP)- and ZnO sol-gel layers capped with low-temperature processed TiO2, namely ZnO/TiO2 bilayered films, have been successfully employed as ETLs in highly efficient MAPbI3-based perovskite solar cells. It is demonstrated that these ZnO/TiO2 bilayered ETLs are not only capable of enhancing photovoltaic performance, but also capable of improving device stability. The best device based on the ZnO/TiO2 bilayered ETL exhibits an efficiency of ∼15% under standard test conditions and can retain nearly 100% of its initial efficiency after 30 days of atmosphere storage, showing much higher device performance and stability compared to those devices based on ZnO single-layer ETLs. Moreover, it is found that perovskite films and devices prepared on the single ZnO sol-gel ETLs are much superior to those deposited on the single ZnO NP-ETLs in both stability and performance, which can be ascribed to fewer surface hydroxyl groups and much smoother surface morphology of the ZnO sol-gel films. The results pave the way for ZnO to be used as an effective ETL of low-temperature processed, efficient and stable PSCs compatible with flexible substrates.

Highly crystalline Nb-doped TiO2 nanospindles as superior electron transporting materials for high-performance planar structured perovskite solar cells.

Project description:Planar-structured perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received tremendous attention due to their high power conversion efficiency (PCE), simple process and low-cost fabrication. A compact thin film of electron transport materials (ETMs) plays a key role in these PSCs. However, the traditional ETMs of PSCs, TiO2 nanoparticulate films, suffer from low conductivity and high trap state density. Herein, we exploited TiO2 nanospindles as a compact ETM in planar PSCs for the first time, and achieved an efficient device with a PCE of 19.1%. By optimization with Nb doping into the TiO2 nanospindles, the PCE of the PSC was further improved up to 20.8%. The carrier transfer and collection efficiency were significantly improved after Nb5+ doping, revealed by Mott-Schottky (MS) analysis, space charge limited current (SCLC), photoluminence (PL), time-resolved photoluminence (TRPL) spectra, electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) and so forth. Moreover, the hysteresis behavior was effectively inhibited and the stability was significantly enhanced. This work may provide a new avenue towards the rational design of efficient ETMs for perovskite solar cells.

Perovskite Solar Cells toward Eco-Friendly Printing.

Project description:Eco-friendly printing is important for mass manufacturing of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) devices to preserve human safety and the environment and to reduce energy consumption and capital expense. However, it is challenging for perovskite PVs due to the lack of eco-friendly solvents for ambient fast printing. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time an eco-friendly printing concept for high-performance perovskite solar cells. Both the perovskite and charge transport layers were fabricated from eco-friendly solvents via scalable fast blade coating under ambient conditions. The perovskite dynamic crystallization during blade coating investigated using in situ grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) reveals a long sol-gel window prior to phase transformation and a strong interaction between the precursors and the eco-friendly solvents. The insights enable the achievement of high quality coatings for both the perovskite and charge transport layers by controlling film formation during scalable coating. The excellent optoelectronic properties of these coatings translate to a power conversion efficiency of 18.26% for eco-friendly printed solar cells, which is on par with the conventional devices fabricated via spin coating from toxic solvents under inert atmosphere. The eco-friendly printing paradigm presented in this work paves the way for future green and high-throughput fabrication on an industrial scale for perovskite PVs.

Enhanced photovoltaic properties of perovskite solar cells by TiO2 homogeneous hybrid structure.

Project description:In this paper, we fabricated a TiO2 homogeneous hybrid structure for application in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) under ambient conditions. Under the standard air mass 1.5 global (AM 1.5G) illumination, PSCs based on homogeneous hybrid structure present a maximum power conversion efficiency of 5.39% which is higher than that of pure TiO2 nanosheets. The enhanced properties can be explained by the better contact of TiO2 nanosheets/nanoparticles with CH3NH3PbI3 and fewer pinholes in electron transport materials. The advent of such unique structure opens up new avenues for the future development of high-efficiency photovoltaic cells.
