研究目的
Investigating the potential of tellurium iodide (TeI4) as a light-absorbing material in solution-processed photovoltaic applications to replace toxic lead halide in solar cells.
研究成果
TeI4 demonstrates promising potential as a light-absorbing material in lead-free solar cells, achieving a PCE of up to 3.56%. Fabrication parameters, especially heat treatment, significantly impact performance, suggesting areas for further optimization.
研究不足
The conduction band of TeI4 is deeper than the LUMO of PCBM, which may limit further efficiency improvements. Heat treatment and antisolvent dripping negatively affected device performance, indicating sensitivity to fabrication parameters.
