研究目的
To overcome the limitations of high-temperature processes and the strong photocatalytic effect of TiO2 in perovskite solar cells by introducing Zinc Titanate (ZnTiO3, ZTO) as a mesoporous electron-transporting layer (ETL) for enhanced lifetime and photostability.
研究成果
The introduction of low-temperature-processed, UV-inert ZnTiO3 as a mesoporous layer in SnO2-based planar perovskite solar cells significantly improves the UV stability and lifetime of the devices. The mesoporous structure not only expands the choice for transmission layer and electrode materials but also offers a new way to large-scale production of flexible devices.
研究不足
The study focuses on the application of ZTO as a mesoporous ETL in perovskite solar cells and its benefits over traditional materials like TiO2. However, the scalability of the sol-gel method for large-scale production and the long-term stability under various environmental conditions beyond the tested parameters are areas that may require further investigation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a sol-gel method to synthesize ZnTiO3 nanoparticles (NPs) at a reduced processing temperature of 600°C. The NPs were then dispersed into 2-methoxyethanol with PEG as a surfactant to form ZTO ink. Mesoporous ZTO films were deposited by spin coating the ZTO ink and annealing at 150°C.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study used Cs
3:05FA81MA14PbI55Br45 perovskite sandwiched between SnO2-mesoporous ZTO electrode and Spiro-OMeTAD layer for photovoltaic devices. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The synthesis and characterization involved power x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The ZTO NPs were synthesized, characterized, and then used to fabricate mesoporous ZTO films. Photovoltaic devices were then fabricated and their performance was evaluated.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the devices was analyzed based on power conversion efficiency (PCE), open circuit voltage (VOC), and fill factor (FF).
