A perovskite solar cell owing very high stabilities and power conversion efficiencies
摘要： Owing to the superior optoelectronic properties of perovskite materials, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been increased dramatically within several years, but the poor thermal, humidity, and light stability of these PSC devices hinders the progress to their practical application. We obtained an inspiration from two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite solar cells with good photovoltaic performance and placed the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite layer inside two fully-inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite layers in the cubic α phase. The middle layer has lower stability than the two outer ones, which protect the middle layer by impeding the organic ions of the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite middle layer from diffusing outside and causing damage to neighbor CTLs. Water molecules from air are also obstructed from reaching the hybrid perovskite layer. We used 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIM-BF4) ionic liquid and 3-(decyldimethylammonio) propane-1-sulfonate (DDMAPS) and obtained phase-stable fully-inorganic α phase CsPbI3. The constructed PSCs have extremely high stabilities and high PCEs. After 1000 h of illumination under AM1.5 illumination in air at 60 °C (Humility: ~60%), PSCs with a sandwich structure of three perovskite layers maintain nearly all the original PCE of 21.32%, while those without that only remain 76.63%.

Enhancement of power conversion efficiency of Al/ZnO/p-Si/Al heterojunction solar cell by modifying morphology of ZnO nanostructure
摘要： This paper proposes a cost-effective sol–gel method for synthesis of ZnO nanostructure to make Al/ZnO/p-Si/Al heterojunction solar cell. Here, crystalline ZnO nanostructure was grown on p-silicon and annealed at 300 °C, 400 °C and 500 °C for application in heterojunction solar cell. The optimum temperature for obtaining uniform crystalline nanostructure was 500 °C, as confirmed from XRD and SEM imaging. As investigated by UV–Vis spectroscopy, the ZnO nanostructure layer exhibited high transmittance in the visible spectrum and has a direct band gap of 3.26–3.28 eV. The power conversion efficiency of Al/ZnO/p-Si/Al solar cell is enhanced from 1.06 to 2.22% due to increase in surface area of ZnO by formation of crystalline nanostructure due to increase of annealing temperature. The optimum value of short-circuit current (Isc) and open-circuit voltage (Voc) was measured using current–voltage (I–V) under AM 1.5 illuminations and found to be 9.97 mA and 460 mV, respectively.

Asymmetric Alkyl Diamine Based Dion-Jacobson Low-Dimensional Perovskite Solar Cells with Efficiency Exceeding 15%
摘要： Low-dimensional (LD) Dion-Jacobson perovskites (DJPs) are showing great potential to solve the stability issue of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, it is still a challenge to simultaneously obtain high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and high stability in DJP-LD-PSCs. Here, we present an asymmetric alkyl diammonium 3-(dimethylammonium)-1-propylammonium (DMAPA2+) as spacer cation to resolve this issue. With small adjacent inorganic interlayer distance, PSCs based on LD (DMAPA)MAn-1PbnI3n+1 (n = 1) achieve a PCE of 3.85%, the currently highest PCE for PSCs based on n = 1 LD-DJP. The systematic study of the crystallization kinetics of DJPs with higher n values (n = 3, 4, 5) demonstrate that the perovskite quality is mainly dominated by the formation and decomposition of its intermediate phase. PSCs based on on n = 4 LD-DJP (DMAPA)MA3Pb4I13), with vertical crystal orientation, hierarchical phase distribution and low trap density, yield high PCEs up to 15.16%, and excellent stability with over 90% of the initial PCE retained without encapsulation after being stored at 85 °C in air for 1000 hours and ~80% PCE retained after 300-h of continous operation under 1-sun illumination in air.

Lighting flicker: a blind spot in indoor photovoltaic cell characterization
摘要： Pulse width modulation (PWM) driving is common in emerging solid-state or LED lighting. Unlike conventional lighting devices, the peak illumination intensity of a PWM-driven LED can be a hundredfold of average illumination intensity, causing strong lighting flicker. This work addresses the impact of the flicker on indoor amorphous Si (a-Si) photovoltaic cell performance. The power conversion efficiency of an amorphous silicon photovoltaic cell is found to be a function of not the average, but the peak illumination intensity. Indoor photovoltaic cells can thus seriously underperform under PWM-driven solid-state lighting when the peak illumination intensity is high enough to decrement photovoltaic cell performance.

Refractory plasmonics enabling 20% efficient lead-free perovskite solar cells
摘要： Core-shell refractory plasmonic nanoparticles are used as excellent nanoantennas to improve the efficiency of lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs). SiO2 is used as the shell coating due to its high refractive index and low extinction coefficient, enabling the control over the sunlight directivity. An optoelectronic model is developed using 3D finite element method (FEM) as implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics to calculate the optical and electrical parameters of plain and ZrN/SiO2-modified PSCs. For a fair comparison, ZrN-decorated PSCs are also simulated. While the decoration with ZrN nanoparticles boosts the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the PSC from 12.9% to 17%, the use of ZrN/SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles shows an unprecedented enhancement in the PCE to reach 20%. The enhancement in the PCE is discussed in details.

Controlling films structure by regulating 2D Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite formation enthalpy for efficient and stable tri-cation perovskite solar cells
摘要： The incorporation of bulky organic cations to metal-halide perovskites, forming the 2D-3D heterojunctions, has dramatically improved the stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Nevertheless, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of these PSCs are typically sacrificed because the formed 2D structures possess larger dielectric confinement, wider bandgaps, higher exciton binding energies and lower charge-carrier mobilities than the 3D perovskites. Here, we demonstrate that the environmental stability of the PSCs could be significantly improved without sacrificing the efficiency by introducing hydrophobic polyfluorinated cations (CF3CF2CH2NH3+, 5F-PA+) to the metal-halide perovskites. Due to the large 2D perovskite formation enthalpy with polyfluorinated cations, the addition of such cations will form a protective layer at the grain boundaries of 3D perovskite rather than form the 2D perovskites. The resultant solar cells based on 5F-PA0.05[Cs0.05(MA0.17FA0.83)0.95]0.95Pb(Br0.17I0.83)3 exhibit a substantially increased PCE of 22.86% compared with that (20.69%) of the control Cs0.05(MA0.17FA0.83)0.95Pb(Br0.17I0.83)3 devices. More importantly, the optimized devices could keep 80% of their original PCEs after >3000 h in ambient environment with 65 ± 10% relative humidity, which is attributed to hydrophobic fluorine moieties.

A Comparative Study on the Photovoltaic Properties of ZnX (X=S, Se, Te) QD/CNT Inorganic/Organic Hybrid Nanocomposites
摘要： Designing the efficient inorganic/organic hybrid light harvesting systems through understanding of charge generation, separation and recombination dynamics is an important pathway for improvement of power conversion efficiency (PCE) of photovoltaic cell. Using density functional method, we explored the photovoltaic performance of recently synthesized ZnX (X=S, Se, Te) QD/carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites. Interestingly, ZnX QD/CNT nanocomposites exhibit type-II band alignment, where hole and electron charge carriers are localized on ZnX QD and CNT, respectively. However, the energy difference between highest occupied molecular orbital of ZnXQD and conduction band minimum of CNT is very small (0.09-0.26 eV), implying huge possibilities of electron-hole recombination at ZnX:CNT interface. To overcome such unpleasant situation, we focus on chemical modification of CNT. The CNT is hydrogenated by attachment of atomic hydrogen and next the hydrogenated CNT is functionalized by electron withdrawing group (-CN) in part. We found that ZnX QD and CN functionalized hydrogenated CNT nanocomposites exhibit intended type-II band alignment and achieve high PCEs in the range of 6.73-8.38%, making them exceptionally competitive with other previously reported hybrid solar cells.

Barium doping effect on the photovoltaic performance and stability of MA0.4FA0.6BaxPb1-xIyCl3-y perovskite solar cells
摘要： Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have earned widespread attention owing to its fast-growing power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, there are some challenges for this type of solar cells. The toxicity issue, current density-voltage (J-V) hysteresis, and uncertain stability hinder commercialization. In this study, we developed the PSCs with MA0.4FA0.6BaxPb1-xIyCl3-y film as active layer. The MA0.4FA0.6BaxPb1-xIyCl3-y film with various barium doping concentrations were fabricated by solvent engineering method. We investigate the surface morphology, crystal orientation, and optical property of various perovskite films. Furthermore, the in situ grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (in-situ GIWAXS) is used to analyze the heating crystallization process of perovskite film. We discover that Ba can improve crystallinity and structural stability. For the optimal 5.0 mol% Ba replacement, the PCE of perovskite device is increased to 17.4%, the J-V hysteresis can be completely eliminated and the device demonstrates long-term stability.

Maximize CdTe solar cell performance through copper activation engineering
摘要： The incorporation of copper (Cu) is one of the critical processes for fabricating high-efficiency CdTe thin-film solar cells. However, due to its high mobility in CdTe, the distribution and concentration of Cu must be carefully engineered to reduce the compensative donor-like interstitial defects in CdTe bulk and the recombination centers at the buffer layer/CdTe interface to maximize device performances. Here, a cuprous chloride (CuCl) solution treatment and a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process are used to control the concentration and distribution of Cu in CdTe absorbers, enabling a champion CdTe thin-film solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 17.5% without selenium incorporation. The results demonstrate that the use of a CuCl solution can substantially reduce the amount of Cu needed in CdTe and the RTA process is a viable approach to engineer the Cu distribution in CdTe solar cells.

Performance optimization of CH3NH3Pb(I1-xBrx)3 based perovskite solar cells by comparing different ETL materials through conduction band offset engineering
摘要： Numerical simulations can provide the physical insights into the carrier transport mechanism in the solar cells, and the factors influencing their performance. In this paper, perovskite solar cell (PSC) based on the mixed perovskite (CH3NH3Pb(I1-xBrx)3 has been numerically simulated using the SCAPS simulator. A comparative analysis of different electron transport layers (ETLs) based on their conduction band offsets (CBO) has been performed, while Spiro-OMeTAD was used as a hole transport layer (HTL). Among the proposed ETLs, CdZnS performed better and demonstrated the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.20%. Also, the PCE of the PSC has been optimized by adjusting the doping concentrations in the ETL, Spiro-OMeTAD layer, and the thickness of the perovskite light absorber layer. It was found that the doping concentration of 1021 cm?3 for the CdZnS based ETL and 1020 cm?3 for Spiro-OMeTAD are the optimum concentrations values for demonstrating enhanced efficiency. A 600 nm thick perovskite layer has found to be appropriate for the efficient PSC design. For the initial guessing and numerical model validation, the photovoltaic data of a very stable (over one year with PCE ~13%) n-i-p structured (ITO/TiO2/CH3NH3Pb(I1-xBrx)3/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au) PSCs was used. These numerically simulated results signify the optimum performance of the photovoltaic device that can be further implemented to develop the highly efficient PSCs.
