Thina??Film Morphology Improvement and Density Functional Theorya??Driven Findings for the Photovoltaic Perovskite MAPI/MAPSI
摘要: The morphology of thin films of the mixed MAPI / MAPSI material has been studied, revealing that the addition of toluene in the synthesis stage markedly improves the porosity problem of the manufactured films. The presence of crystalline domains of the two materials is verified, as reported by the X-ray diffraction patterns. The calculated band gap values from the diffuse reflectance measurements using the Tauc plots with the Kubelka-Munk transformation function confirm the presence of the two materials in the mixture. On the other hand, the results of the DFT-based computational calculations give answers to the true geometry that the SCN groups adopt within the MAPSI unit cell. The COHP analysis suggests that the most stable structure has an axial geometry for the SCN groups, which is confirmed by the analysis of non-covalent interactions (NCI), in which it is established that there is a greater number of hydrogen bond interactions for the same axial configuration, and results for Electron Localization Functions were shown (ELF), where it is found that there is indeed electron localization (at the level at which a bonding interaction is expected, ELF > 0.8) both for the SCN groups and the methyl-ammonium cations, in the same way as seen in the results of the NCI analyses.

Interfacial engineering and film-forming mechanism of perovskite films revealed by synchrotron-based GIXRD at SSRF for high-performance solar cells
摘要: Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites as promising light-harvesting materials have been the focus of scientific research and development of photovoltaics recently. Especially, metal halide perovskites currently become one of the most competitive candidates for the fabrication of solar cells with record certified efficiency over 25%. Despite the high efficiency, many fundamental questions remain unclear and need to be addressed at both the material and device levels, such as weaker stability, poorer reproducibility, easier degradation influenced by water, oxygen, thermal factors, and so on. Based on recent reports, interfacial engineering plays a crucial role in controlling the behavior of the charge carriers and in growing high quality, defect-free perovskite crystals, therefore helping to enhance device performance and operational stability. However, little attention has been paid to the interface interaction mechanism among carrier transport layers and perovskite active layer. It is extremely urgent to explore the perovskite interfaces in details and to find out how its interface structure is relative to the efficiency and hysteresis in perovskites solar cells. Based on the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), we have established an advanced perovskite photovoltaic device preparation and in-line test system, developed a series of unique surface diffraction analysis methods based on ex situ and in situ grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), and reported a large number of novel synchrotron radiation results on crystallization of the perovskite photovoltaics films. Our main investigations are aimed to deeply in-situ study the perovskite film growth dynamics using synchrotron radiation GIXRD technology in combination with a customized mini online glove box (c(H2O,O2)<1 ppm) and temperature-humidity control equipment, and so on., which should provide solid theoretical background and point to the useful direction for designing and fabricating high-performance perovskites solar cells. Moreover, a multi-functional joint characterization technology that in-situ GIXRD simultaneously combines with conventional characterization methods at synchrotron radiation beamline station must be put on the agenda in future research, which greatly promotes much more comprehensive and intuitive understanding of the nucleation, microcrystallization, and degradation mechanisms of perovskite heterojunction films, and therefore further optimizing their chemical synthesis strategies at the molecular level for functional materials.

Molecular engineering of highly efficient dopant-free spiro-type hole transporting materials for perovskite solar cells
摘要: Up to now, the most efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs) typically utilize Spiro-OMeTAD as hole transporting materials (HTMs). The unique “spiro” structure offers appropriate energy levels for hole transfer and high thermal stability with suppressed aggregation. However, the pristine Spiro-OMeTAD requires additional oxidizing dopants to work efficiently due to its low hole mobility. To retain the advantages of spiral structure and overcome its shortcomings, we demonstrate the design of three dopant-free HTMs with spiral structure by molecular engineering, in which three groups with different conjugated lengths, namely benzene, naphthalene and anthracene, are inserted between spiral core and electron donor. These designed molecules, Y-1~Y-3, are initially identified with quantum chemical calculations based on the mother molecule X59 and then are obtained by easy synthetic routes. Our studies show that the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) states are formed in the designed molecules due to the introduction of conjugated groups, which produces a self-doping effect without the need to add any external dopant. The best-performing PSCs using the dopant-free Y-1 as HTM achieves a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.29% under one sun illumination, which is higher than that of devices with X59 as dopant-free HTMs (14.64%). The present work provides an effective strategy for designing, synthesizing of highly efficient and stable dopant-free HTMs.

Widening the 2D/3D Perovskite Family for Efficient and Thermal-Resistant Solar Cells by the Use of Secondary Ammonium Cations
摘要: While 2D/3D layered perovskites have been the object of comprehensive research principally focused on increasing the long-term stability observed in 3D perovskites, significant opportunities still exist concerning the application of different kinds of cations outside the sphere of primary amines, which are the cations most usually applied. Our results demonstrate that the materials and the solar cells prepared with dipropylammonium iodide (DipI), a bulky secondary ammonium cation of small size, lead to obtaining materials that are not only efficient and thermodynamically stable but also robust toward heat stress. Time-resolved studies indicate longer carrier lifetime for 2D/3D layered perovskites fabricated with this bulky cation than for systems based on bulky primary ammonium cations, which allowed us to obtain PCE = 12.51% (n = 10), 15.78% (n = 50), and 17.90% (n = 90). We determine that the concentration of perovskite material after 240 min at 100 °C is up to 575% greater in the 2D/3D perovskite (n = 10) than that observed in 3D perovskite films. The material stability also improves the thermal stability of the photovoltaic devices, presenting an efficiency drop of just 4% for n = 50 and n = 10 after thermal annealing while the performance drop for reference 3D samples in the same conditions was greater than 80%.

Interface Engineering by Thiazolium Iodide Passivation Towards Reduced Thermal Diffusion and Performance Improvement in Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要: Interface engineering has become one of the most facile and effective approaches to improve solar cells performance and its long-term stability and to retard unwanted side reactions. Three passivating agents are developed which can functionalize the surface and induce hydrophobicity, by employing substituted thiazolium iodide (TMI) for perovskite solar cells fabrication. The role of TMI interfacial layers in microstructure and electro-optical properties is assessed for structural as well as transient absorption measurements. TMI treatment resulted in VOC and fill factor enhancement by reducing possible recombination paths at the perovskite/hole selective interface and by reducing the shallow as well as deep traps. These in turn allow to achieve higher performance as compared to the pristine surface. Additionally, the TMI passivated perovskite layer considerably reduces CH3NH3 sion and degradation induced by humidity. The un-encapsulated perovskite solar cells employing TMI exhibit a remarkable stability under moisture levels (≈50% RH), retaining ≈95% of the initial photon current efficiency after 800 h of fabrication, paving the way towards a potential scalable endeavor.

Enhanced Moisture Stability by Butyldimethylsulfonium Cation in Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要: Many organic cations in halide perovskites have been studied for their application in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Most organic cations in PSCs are based on the protic nitrogen cores, which are susceptible to deprotonation. Here, a new candidate of fully alkylated sulfonium cation (butyldimethylsulfonium; BDMS) is designed and successfully assembled into PSCs with the aim of increasing humidity stability. The BDMS-based perovskites retain the structural and optical features of pristine perovskite, which results in the comparable photovoltaic performance. However, the fully alkylated aprotic nature of BDMS shows a much more pronounced effect on the increase in humidity stability, which emphasizes a generic electronic difference between protic ammonium and aprotic sulfonium cation. The current results would pave a new way to explore cations for the development of promising PSCs.

Self‐Assembly of Hybrid Oxidant POM@Cu‐BTC for Enhanced Efficiency and Long‐Term Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要: The controllable oxidation of spiro-OMeTAD and improving the stability of hole-transport materials (HTMs) layer are crucial for good performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we report an efficient hybrid framework material, (POM@MOF) [Cu2(BTC)4/3(H2O)2]6[H3PMo12O40]2 or POM@Cu-BTC, for the oxidation of spiro-OMeTAD with Li-TFSI and TBP. When POM@Cu-BTC is introduced to the HTM layer as a dopant, the PSCs achieve a superior fill factor of 0.80 and enhanced power conversion efficiency 21.44 %, as well as improved long-term stability in an ambient atmosphere without encapsulation. The enhanced performance is attributed to the oxidation activity of this POM anions and solid-state nanoparticles. Therefore, research presents a facile way by using hybrid porous materials to accelerate oxidation of spiro-OMeTAD, further improving the efficiency and stability of PSCs.

Nanoparticulate Metal Oxide Top Electrode Interface Modification Improves the Thermal Stability of Inverted Perovskite Photovoltaics
摘要: Solution processed γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles via the solvothermal colloidal synthesis in conjunction with ligand-exchange method are used for interface modification of the top electrode in inverted perovskite solar cells. In comparison to more conventional top electrodes such as PC(70)BM/Al and PC(70)BM/AZO/Al, we show that incorporation of a γ-Fe2O3 provides an alternative solution processed top electrode (PC(70)BM/γ-Fe2O3/Al) that not only results in comparable power conversion efficiencies but also improved thermal stability of inverted perovskite photovoltaics. The origin of improved stability of inverted perovskite solar cells incorporating PC(70)BM/ γ-Fe2O3/Al under accelerated heat lifetime conditions is attributed to the acidic surface nature of γ-Fe2O3 and reduced charge trapped density within PC(70)BM/ γ-Fe2O3/Al top electrode interfaces.

Dimensionality engineering of hybrid halide perovskite light absorbers
摘要: Hybrid halide perovskite solar cells were first demonstrated in 2009 with cell efficiency quickly soaring from below 10% to more than 23% in a few years. Halide perovskites have the desirable processing simplicity but are very fragile when exposed to water and heat. This fragility represents a great challenge for the achievement of their full practical potential in photovoltaic technologies. To address this problem, here we review the recent development of the mixed-dimensional perovskites, whereby the trade-off between power conversion efficiency and stability of the material can be finely tuned using organic amine cations with different sizes and functionalities.
