研究目的
Investigating the role of GQDs additive in TiO2 nanorods as an electron transfer layer on performance improvement of the perovskite solar cells.
研究成果
The study demonstrated significant improvement in PCE of PSCs by employing TiO2 NRs and further enhancing it with GQDs. The combination of TiO2 NRs and GQDs reduced charge recombination, increased charge transfer, and improved optical properties, leading to enhanced PCE. The hydrothermal method presented offers a simple and effective approach for improving photovoltaic device performance.
研究不足
The study focuses on the improvements in electrical properties of ETL and the effect of GQDs on the morphology of ETL has not been described in details. The research could be expanded to explore the morphological impacts more thoroughly.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a simple one-step hydrothermal method for the synthesis of TiO2 NRs and GQDs-TiO2 NRs. The hydrothermal conditions were optimized for temperature, time, and Ti precursor concentration.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) sheets were used as substrates. The perovskite layer was deposited on the ETL by a two-step spin coating procedure.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included TiO2 paste, Titanium (IV)-isopropoxide (TTIP), methylammonium bromide (MABr), formamidinium iodide (FAI), cesium iodide, lead(II) iodide (PbI2), lead(II) bromide (PbBr2), Spiro-OMeTAD, 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP), lithium bis (trimethylsilyl) amide (LiTFSI), and others. Equipment included a Biologic SP-300 potentiostat for J-V characteristic curves, Jasco V-750 UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FE-SEM (JSM-7001), and Philips X Pert PRO MPD diffractometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved hydrothermal growth of NRs on FTO substrates, followed by annealing. Perovskite solution was prepared and deposited on the ETL, followed by Spiro-OMeTAD solution spin coating and Au electrode deposition.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of PSCs was assessed by J-V measurements under AM 1.5 G solar illumination. EIS measurements were carried out to determine charge carrier transport and recombination behavior.
