研究目的
To achieve high efficiency and thermal stability in cm-scale perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by using an additive-free spiro-OMeTAD hole-transporting material (HTM) through solvent engineering.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated that using pentachloroethane as a solvent for spiro-OMeTAD deposition without additives can achieve high efficiency and significantly improved thermal stability in cm-scale perovskite solar cells. The findings open up new possibilities for the development of stable and efficient PSCs towards commercialization.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the toxicity of pentachloroethane and suggests the need for less toxic alternatives that can oxidize spiro-OMeTAD through radical reactions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved substituting the usual chlorobenzene solvent with pentachloroethane (PC) for depositing the spiro-OMeTAD HTM layer without additives. The methodology included the fabrication of PSCs with an n-i-p architecture, incorporating a compact TiO2 layer, a mesoporous TiO2 scaffold, a Cs0.05FA0.79MA0.16PbBr0.51I2.49 perovskite layer, and an evaporated gold electrode.
2:05FA79MA16PbBr51I49 perovskite layer, and an evaporated gold electrode.
Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: The perovskite precursor solution was prepared by dissolving PbI2, PbBr2, FAI, MABr, CsI in a mixture of anhydrous dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The HTM solution was spin-coated onto the perovskite surface.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included spiro-OMeTAD, methylammonium bromide, formamidinium iodide, and pentachloroethane. Equipment included a solar simulator, X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, and atomic force microscope.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The perovskite precursor solution was spin-coated onto the mesoporous TiO2, followed by annealing. The HTM solution was then spin-coated onto the perovskite surface, and the gold counter electrode was thermally evaporated on top.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study employed X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and photoelectron spectroscopy in air (PESA) for characterization.
