Perovskite solar cells based on polyaniline derivatives as hole transport materials
摘要： Perovskite solar cells (PSC) have been extensively studied over the past few years in both academia and industry. Despite their appeal as a low cost and ease processing PV-technology, PSC still rely on materials that are expensive, turning the large-scale production more challenging. In this work, polyaniline (PAni) and its derivative poly(o-methoxyaniline) are employed as hole transport material (HTM) in PSC, replacing the most explored HTM, spiro-OMeTAD. These very well established conducting polymers are doped with 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) to enhance their conductivity. The correlation between the performance of the solar cells using doped and undoped conducting polymers and different metallic contacts are also evaluated. The best power conversion efficiency was 10.05% using doped PAni-DBSA with Au as contact, which is similar to the performance exhibited by our standard device using Spiro-OMeTAD as HTM.

Demonstration of Photovoltaic Action and Enhanced Stability from a Quasi-Two-Dimensional Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Copper–Halide Material Incorporating Divalent Organic Groups
摘要： Commercialization of solar cells based on photoactive lead–halide perovskites is in-part limited by their toxicity and instability. In this study, new and related copper–halide hybrid organic–inorganic materials containing dicationic 1,6-hexanediammonium (+H3N-C6H12-NH3+) demonstrated superior stability to heat and moisture in comparison to the analogous material containing monocationic 1-propylammonium (C3H7-NH3+) in twice the stoichiometry. Electronic absorption spectra taken of the materials were consistent with an indirect optical bandgap of ~1.8 eV, making them well-suited for application as the photoactive layer in the top cell of a tandem solar cell with silicon. The best-performing single-junction solar cells containing the dicationic material as the photoactive layer exhibited an open-circuit photovoltage in excess of 400 mV and a short-circuit photocurrent density of ~30 μA/cm2. These values are similar to those reported for state-of-the-art copper–halide hybrid organic–inorganic materials containing organic monocations and motivate further research on this class of materials.

Light-Stimulated Synaptic Transistors Fabricated by a Facile Solution Process Based on Inorganic Perovskite Quantum Dots and Organic Semiconductors
摘要： Implementation of artificial intelligent systems with light-stimulated synaptic emulators may enhance computational speed by providing devices with high bandwidth, low power computation requirements, and low crosstalk. One of the key challenges is to develop light-stimulated devices that can response to light signals in a neuron-/synapse-like fashion. A simple and effective solution process to fabricate light-stimulated synaptic transistors (LSSTs) based on inorganic halide perovskite quantum dots (IHP QDs) and organic semiconductors (OSCs) is reported. Blending IHP QDs and OSCs not only improves the charge separation efficiency of the photoexcited charges, but also induces delayed decay of the photocurrent in the IHP QDs/OSCs hybrid film. The enhanced charge separation efficiency results in high photoresponsivity, while the induced delayed decay of the photocurrent is critical to achieving light-stimulating devices with a memory effect, which are important for achieving high synaptic performance. The LSSTs can respond to light signals in a highly neuron-/synapse-like fashion. Both short-term and long-term synaptic behaviors have been realized, which may lay the foundation for the future implementation of artificial intelligent systems that are enabled by light signals. More significantly, LSSTs are fabricated by a facile solution process which can be easily applied to large-scale samples.

New Strategy to Overcome the Instability That Could Speed up the Commercialization of Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： Current efficiency of perovskite solar cells has reached 23.7%, which is comparable with silicon solar cells. However commercial development is seriously hindered by the instability of the perovskite, especially under moisture conditions. Therefore it is crucial to gain clear understanding of the mechanism of degradation of organic–inorganic perovskite in order to achieve stable perovskite devices. In this paper, the formation and the degradation of perovskite film on different charge transport layers such as a compact TiO2 layer, compact ZnO layer, and ZnO foil, Si nanowires, and porous Si are studied. In addition, density functional theory studies are carried out to better understand the interaction between the perovskite film and substrates. Experimental and theoretical results are combined to draw more reliable conclusion regarding the degradation mechanism. Most notably, the investigations show that the interaction between the iodine (I) atom in the perovskite layer and substrate determine the stability of perovskite cells. As a result, Si has minimum interaction with I atoms and shows maximum stability, while perovskite film degrades on TiO2 film almost immediately.

New insights into active-area-dependent performance of hybrid perovskite solar cells
摘要： The morphology of hybrid perovskite thin films depends strongly on the processing parameters due to its complex crystallization kinetics from a solution to solid perovskite halide phase. It is also profoundly sensitive to the device area of the deposited thin film, and hence reproducible photoconversion efficiency (PCE) remained a bottleneck for the fabrication of efficient photovoltaic devices having large active area. The present work focuses on the investigations of the relationship between perovskite ink concentration-dependent quality of the perovskite overlayer and PCE of the perovskite solar cells (PSC) while scaling-up process. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the surface coverage of perovskite overlayer depends on the concentration of perovskite solution and device area. The active-area-dependent current density (J)-voltage (V) and external quantum efficiency measurements identify morphology-dependent variation in charge-transport/recombination pathways. We confirmed that among different precursor concentrations, 40 wt% perovskite ink is suitable to produce uniform perovskite overlayer over 1 cm2. As a result, highly reproducible PCE * 13% has been achieved for the PSC having an active area of 1 cm2. Overall, our findings significantly provide new insights into the active-area-dependent PCE of PSC.

<i>In Situ</i> 2D Perovskite Formation and the Impact of the 2D/3D Structures on Performance and Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： Hybrid organic and inorganic perovskite solar cells suffer from the lack of long-term stability and this negatively impacts the widespread application of this emerging and promising photovoltaic technology. In this work, aiming to increase the stability of perovskite films based on CH3NH3PbI3 and to deep understand the formation of 2D structures, solutions of alkylammonium chlorides containing 8, 10 and 12 carbons were introduced during the spin-coating on the surface of 3D perovskite films leading to the in situ formation of 2D structures. It was possible to identify the chemical formulae of some 2D structures formed by XRD and UV-Vis analysis of the modified films. Interestingly, the increase in the stability of the CH3NH3PbI3 films due to the formation of a 2D+3D perovskite network was only possible in planar TiO2 substrates. The increase on stability of the CH3NH3PbI3 films follows the surfactant molecule order: octylammonium (8C) > decylammonium (10C) > dodecylammonium (12C) chlorides > standard. We observed an increase of 17.6 % in the lifetime of the devices assembled with modified perovskite film compared to our standard device, which is directly linked to the improvement of the charge carrier lifetimes obtained from Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) measurements.

Manipulating the Phase Distributions and Carrier Transfers in Hybrid Quasi-Two-Dimensional Perovskite Films
摘要： Quasi two-dimensional perovskites are promising alternatives to conventional three-dimensional perovskites because of their high stability and easy tunability. However, controlling the phase distribution according to device architecture remains a major challenge. Here, the manipulation of phase purity and vertical distribution proven by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, and their effect on device characteristics are reported. By adding ethyl acetate as antisolvent, the growth direction of the perovskite film is flipped. CH3NH3Cl and dimethyl sulfoxide are used to slow the growth rate of the crystal, which gives better phase purity. The direction of carrier transfer is tuned accordingly. It is found that solar cell performance is more sensitive to phase purity relative to vertical distribution. These findings are of importance for the applications of quasi-2D perovskites in different types of devices that require to change phase purity and vertical distribution.

Correlation between the morphology and the opto-electronic and electrical properties of organometallic halide perovskite (CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>MH<sub>3</sub>) thin films
摘要： Organometallic halide perovskites are emerging as a promising class of materials for optoelectronic applications. Crystal morphology is important for improving the organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite semiconductor property in optoelectronic, electrical and photovoltaic devices. It is thus important to investigate how the changes in crystal morphology affect the semiconductor behavior. This work presents a study that was carried out to assess the relationship between different deposition methodologies and the opto-electronic and electrical properties of the resultant organometallic halide perovskite thin films. Herein, single step solution deposition method and two step solution deposition methods have been used to deposit perovskite thin films. The structure and morphology of perovskite was controlled by changing concentration, annealing temperatures and dip coating times. From the study, prepared films showed different morphologies as the concentration, annealing temperatures and dip coating times were varied. Optical band gap energies of 2.23 eV, 2.13 eV and 2.09 eV were obtained for samples prepared by single step solution deposition method and 1.57 eV, 1.55 eV and 1.52 eV for two step solution deposition method. The sheet resistance values decreased with an increase in concentration, annealing temperatures and dip coating times. The decrease in optical band gap energy and sheet resistances are excellent properties for high performance photovoltaic devices.

A systematic approach to ZnO nanoparticle-assisted electron transport bilayer for high efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells
摘要： Minimizing the interface loss of perovskite solar cells is critical to achieving high photovoltaic performance, and intensive research is underway on interfacial engineering in this regard. In this work, we introduce a ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) interlayer between phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) and a metal electrode in order to reduce the interface loss due to charge recombination and device degradation, and also investigate the dependence of device performance on the thickness and morphology of the PCBM and PCBM/ZnO electron transport bilayer. After achieving optimized PCBM and ZnO thickness, the PCBM/ZnO bilayer-based devices reached an average power conversion efficiency of 15.63% (Max. 16.39%) with an open circuit voltage of 1.05 V, short circuit current density of 18.69 mA cm-2, and fill factor of 79.95%. In addition, hysteresis behavior and atmospheric stability are significantly improved by the incorporation of a PCBM/ZnO bilayer. Therefore, the implementation of a PCBM/ZnO electron transport bilayer is a promising approach toward achieving a high-efficiency PSC with stable power output (low J-V hysteresis) and durability.

2D Photonic Crystal Nanodisk Array as Electron Transport Layer for Highly Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are currently exhibiting reproducible high efficiency; the manufacturing of low cost, scalable electron transport layers (ETLs) is becoming increasingly important. However, this remains a challenge for electron transport layers that exhibit excellent optical/electrical properties while being a thin film of simple morphology. Here we demonstrate the PSC of a 2D photonic crystal nanodisk (ND) array ETL that is compact, but greatly enhances light harvesting. The ND array is fabricated by nanosphere lithography using a monolayer of self-assembled polymer spheres as a physical mask. We fabricate ND arrays of various lattice constants simply by controlling the size of the polymer spheres. Optimal ND arrays exhibit strong forward scattering and optical confinement effects, greatly improving light harvesting in the perovskite layer. We also observe that the ND array improves charge transport by reducing contact resistance with the perovskite layer. ND array ETL PSCs reach 19% maximum power conversion efficiency, with low photocurrent-voltage hysteresis and stable photocurrent output.
