研究目的
Investigating the effect of relative humidity (RH) and type of atmosphere (nitrogen vs air) during the deposition of perovskite and hole extraction layers (HEL) on the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSC).
研究成果
The study demonstrates that moderate RH levels (up to 10%) under nitrogen or dry air do not significantly affect the performance of triple-cation perovskite solar cells, with dry air offering a simpler and cost-effective alternative to nitrogen. High RH levels degrade device performance, but devices prepared under high RH show better long-term stability. The findings are crucial for the industrial fabrication of PSCs, suggesting that stringent dry and inert conditions may not be necessary for moderate-performance devices.
研究不足
The study focuses on the effect of RH and atmosphere during the preparation phase, with limited exploration of long-term operational stability under varying environmental conditions. The use of specific perovskite compositions may limit the generalizability of findings to other perovskite materials.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved preparing perovskite solar cells under varying relative humidity (RH) levels and different atmospheres (nitrogen vs air) to assess their impact on device performance and stability.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates were used, cleaned and treated before deposition of TiO2 layers. Two types of perovskite were used: triple-cation perovskite and CH3NH3PbI
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a UV-ozone cleaner, spray-pyrolysis setup, spin-coater, thermal evaporator, SEM (Quanta 400 FEG), XRD (PANalytical X’Pert MPD), and a Zennium workstation for I-V characterization. Materials included FTO glass, TiO2 paste, perovskite precursors, spiro-OMeTAD, and gold for electrodes.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The perovskite layer was deposited by spin-coating under controlled RH and atmosphere, followed by deposition of the HEL and gold electrode. Devices were characterized immediately after preparation and over time for stability.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Performance parameters (Voc, Jsc, FF, PCE) were measured using I-V curves. Morphology and crystallinity were analyzed by SEM and XRD, respectively.
