研究目的
To develop solution-processed p-type CoO nanocrystalline films for inverted mixed perovskite solar cells, focusing on improving the efficiency and stability of the solar cells by using inorganic hole transport materials.
研究成果
The study successfully developed ultra-fine CoO nanocrystals as hole transport layers for inverted perovskite solar cells, demonstrating improved efficiency and stability. The ligand exchange process was crucial for enhancing the film's conductivity and compatibility with perovskite layers. The crystalline CoO films are seen as a promising alternative to organic hole transport materials in perovskite solar cells.
研究不足
The study acknowledges that the reached PCE of 10.1% based on the use of crystalline CoO falls behind those values reported from PSCs based on the classical organic HTL, suggesting room for further optimization of the CoO film to enhance Jsc and PCE.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the synthesis of ultra-fine CoO nanocrystals via an oil phase method and their subsequent treatment by a ligand exchange process using pyridine to remove long alkyl chains. The films are then used as hole transport layers in perovskite solar cells.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples include CoO nanocrystals and perovskite solar cells fabricated with these nanocrystals as hole transport layers.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a three-necked flask, oil bath, magnetic stirrer, centrifuge, spin coater, hot plate, and various characterization tools like XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, UPS, XPS, FTIR spectrometer, contact angle analyzer, thermal analyzer, and digital source meter analyzer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis of CoO nanocrystals, ligand exchange process, fabrication of perovskite solar cells, and their characterization are detailed step-by-step.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis includes XRD for crystal structure, SEM and TEM for morphology, UV-Vis for optical properties, UPS and XPS for energy levels, FTIR for chemical composition, and electrical measurements for device performance.
