研究目的
Investigating the use of an ultrathin layer of polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE) to enhance the nucleation of atomic layer deposited (ALD) SnO2 on C60 for improving the operational stability of perovskite solar cells in air.
研究成果
The use of a thin PEIE layer significantly enhances the nucleation of ALD SnO2 on C60, leading to improved barrier properties and operational stability of perovskite solar cells. This strategy effectively mitigates degradation pathways such as internal halide or metal diffusion, maintaining high device efficiency. The approach is also applicable to other metal oxide contacts, suggesting its potential for broader use in perovskite optoelectronic devices.
研究不足
The study focuses on the enhancement of nucleation and barrier properties of ALD SnO2 on C60 using PEIE, but the broader applicability to other metal oxides and device architectures requires further investigation. Additionally, the long-term stability under varying environmental conditions beyond the tested scenarios remains to be explored.
