研究目的
To develop high-efficiency and stable wide-bandgap perovskite PVs that can be integrated with GaAs PVs in tandem configurations to enhance performance without significantly increasing cost.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates perovskite/GaAs tandem structures with significant performance improvements over single-junction GaAs PVs. The approach is feasible for thin-film flexible GaAs PVs, offering a pathway to reduce fabrication costs and enhance usability for applications requiring lightweight and flexibility. Potential routes to achieving over 30% efficiency in perovskite/GaAs tandems are identified, suggesting a promising future for this technology in special markets such as portable devices and vehicles.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the need for further optimization to suppress reflection loss and reduce parasitic absorption to increase Jsc, and to decrease Voc deficit for higher overall Voc in tandem cells. Additionally, the cost reduction of GaAs PV technology through efficient ELO process and lower-cost epitaxial growth is highlighted as a future direction.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the development of wide-bandgap perovskite PVs with bandgaps comparable to InGaP (1.8–1.9 eV) and their integration with GaAs PVs in 2T and 4T tandem configurations. The methodology included solvent-evaporation-controlled processes for perovskite film formation and epitaxial lift-off (ELO) techniques for thin-film GaAs PV fabrication.

Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: Perovskite films were prepared using formamidinium (FA), cesium (Cs), and methylammonium (MA) mixed cations and I/Br mixed halides. GaAs PV structures were grown on p-type GaAs substrates using MOCVD.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a low-pressure MOCVD system, spin-coating setup, ALD system for SnO2 deposition, and RF sputter for ITO deposition. Materials included FAI, CsI, MAI, PbI2, PbBr2, NiOx, PCBM, BCP, and PEAI.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Perovskite films were formed by spin-coating precursor solutions with antisolvent treatment, followed by annealing. GaAs PV structures were fabricated by epitaxial growth, photolithography, metal deposition, and etching processes. Tandem cells were constructed by integrating perovskite top-cells with GaAs bottom-cells.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Performance of PV cells was evaluated using J-V characteristics, EQE measurements, and stability tests under continuous illumination and thermal stress.
