2D钙钛矿太阳能电池的能带调控

经过短短十年的发展,钙钛矿太阳能电池效率已经超过25%,极具商业化价值,这得益于三维(3D)钙钛矿材料具有合适的带隙、吸光系数高、电子迁移距离长等优点。但3D钙钛矿的稳定性依然是其亟待解决的问题。二维(2D)钙钛矿器件除了兼具3D钙钛矿的优异光电性质之外,其稳定性良好,是解决3D钙钛矿太阳能电池稳定性问题的一个可行方案。2D钙钛矿晶格中的疏水性大烷基胺阳离子能阻止湿气侵入的可能路径,使其成为光电器件的备选材料。由于2D钙钛矿对许多不同的有机和无机成分具有较高的耐受性,使其组成具有多样性,进而影响其能带变化。本文对2D钙钛矿的带隙调控及能带调控进行总结,希望对制备高效、稳定的低维度钙钛矿太阳能电池具有一定的指导意义。

Dimethylammonium Cation-Induced 1D/3D Heterostructure for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Mixed-dimensional perovskite engineering has been demonstrated as a simple and useful approach to achieving highly efficient and more-durable perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which have attracted increasing research interests worldwide. In this work, 1D/3D mixed-dimensional perovskite has been successfully obtained by introducing DMAI via a two-step deposition method. The additive DMA⁺ can facilitate the crystalline growth and form 1D DMAPbI₃ at grain boundaries of 3D perovskite, leading to improved morphology, longer charge carrier lifetime, and remarkably reduced bulk trap density for perovskite films. Meanwhile, the presence of low-dimension perovskite is able to prevent the intrusion of moisture, resulting in enhanced long-term stability. As a result, the PSCs incorporated with 1D DMAPbI₃ exhibited a first-class power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.43% and maintained 85% of their initial efficiency after storage under ambient conditions with ~45% RH for 1000 h.     

Understanding the Effect of Different Synthesis Conditions on the Physicochemical Properties of Mixed-Ion Perovskite Solar Cells

Perovskite solar cells, composed of a mixture of methylammonium (MA) and formamidinium (FA) cations [in the benchmark proportions of (FAPbI₃)_0.85(MAPbBr₃)_0.15] and titania as an electron-accepting material, are prepared under different conditions, with the objective of finding correlations between the solar cell performance and several important stationary and dynamical parameters of the material. The effects of humidity, oxygen, the use of anti-solvent, and the presence and quality of a mesoporous titania layer are investigated. It is found that an increase in the photocurrent corresponds to a higher content of the desired cubic perovskite phase and to increased long-wavelength absorption of the sample. On the contrary, for poorer-quality cells, additional short-wavelength bands in both absorption and emission spectra are present. Furthermore, a higher photocurrent of the cells is correlated with faster interfacial charge-transfer dynamics. For the highest photocurrent of >20 mA cm⁻², the characteristic times of about 1 μs are observed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and emission half-lifetimes of about 6 ns by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy (upon excitation with 420 nm pulses of ≈0.5 mW power). Both first- and second-order rate constants, extracted from the emission measurements, are greater for the cells showing higher photocurrents, probably owing to a more rapid charge injection.     

Stabilization of Highly Efficient and Stable Phase-Pure FAPbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells by Molecularly Tailored 2D-Overlayers

As a result of their attractive optoelectronic properties, metal halide APbI₃ perovskites employing formamidinium (FA⁺) as the A cation are the focus of research. The superior chemical and thermal stability of FA⁺ cations makes α-FAPbI₃ more suitable for solar-cell applications than methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI₃). However, its spontaneous conversion into the yellow non-perovskite phase (δ-FAPbI₃) under ambient conditions poses a serious challenge for practical applications. Herein, we report on the stabilization of the desired α-FAPbI₃ perovskite phase by protecting it with a two-dimensional (2D) IBA₂FAPb₂I₇ (IBA=iso-butylammonium overlayer, formed via stepwise annealing. The α-FAPbI₃/IBA₂FAPb₂I₇ based perovskite solar cell (PSC) reached a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of close to 23 %. In addition, it showed excellent operational stability, retaining around 85 % of its initial efficiency under severe combined heat and light stress, that is, simultaneous exposure with maximum power tracking to full simulated sunlight at 80 °C over 500 h.

Influence of Sodium Cations of N3 Dye on the Photovoltaic Performance and Stability of Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

Little things count: The number of protons and the nature of cations of the dye influence the open‐circuit potential and the short circuit current of dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs, see picture). Thus, the effect of substituting the two tetrabutylammonium counter ions in the standard N719 dye by sodium ions allows the improvement on the performance and stability of DSCs.

     

Graphdiyne: Bridging SnO2 and Perovskite in Planar Solar Cells

The matching of charge transport layer and photoactive layer is critical in solar energy conversion devices, especially for planar perovskite solar cells based on the SnO₂ electron‐transfer layer (ETL) owing to its unmatched photogenerated electron and hole extraction rates. Graphdiyne (GDY) with multi‐roles has been incorporated to maximize the matching between SnO₂ and perovskite regarding electron extraction rate optimization and interface engineering towards both perovskite crystallization process and subsequent photovoltaic service duration. The GDY doped SnO₂ layer has fourfold improved electron mobility due to freshly formed C?O σ bond and more facilitated band alignment. The enhanced hydrophobicity inhibits heterogeneous perovskite nucleation, contributing to a high‐quality film with diminished grain boundaries and lower defect density. Also, the interfacial passivation of Pb?I anti‐site defects has been demonstrated via GDY introduction.

B-Site Co-Alloying with Germanium Improves the Efficiency and Stability of All-Inorganic Tin-Based Perovskite Nanocrystal Solar Cells

Colloidal lead-free perovskite nanocrystals have recently received extensive attention because of their facile synthesis, the outstanding size-tunable optoelectronic properties, and less or no toxicity in their commercial applications. Tin (Sn) has so far led to the most efficient lead-free solar cells, yet showing highly unstable characteristics in ambient conditions. Here, we propose the synthesis of all-inorganic mixture Sn-Ge perovskite nanocrystals, demonstrating the role of Ge²⁺ in stabilizing Sn²⁺ cation while enhancing the optical and photophysical properties. The partial replacement of Sn atoms by Ge atoms in the nanostructures effectively fills the high density of Sn vacancies, reducing the surface traps and leading to a longer excitonic lifetime and increased photoluminescence quantum yield. The resultant Sn-Ge nanocrystals-based devices show the highest efficiency of 4.9 %, enhanced by nearly 60 % compared to that of pure Sn nanocrystals-based devices.     

1D Choline-PbI3-Based Heterostructure Boosts Efficiency and Stability of CsPbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells

Defects in perovskite are key factors in limiting the photovoltaic performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Generally, choline halide (ChX) can effectively passivate defects by binding with charged point defects of perovskite. However, we verified that ChI can react with CsPbI₃ to form a novel crystal phase of one-dimensional (1D) ChPbI₃, which constructs 1D/3D heterostructure with 3D CsPbI₃, passivating the defects of CsPbI₃ more effectively and then resulting in significantly improved photoluminescence lifetime from 20.2 ns to 49.4 ns. Moreover, the outstanding chemical inertness of 1D ChPbI₃ and the repair of undesired δ-CsPbI₃ deficiency during its formation process can significantly enhance the stability of CsPbI₃ film. Benefiting from 1D/3D heterostructure, CsPbI₃ carbon-based PSCs (C-PSCs) delivered a champion efficiency of 18.05 % and a new certified record of 17.8 % in hole transport material (HTM)-free inorganic C-PSCs.     

Unveiling the Effect of Solvents on Crystallization and Morphology of 2D Perovskite in Solvent-Assisted Method

Controlling the crystallographic orientations of 2D perovskite is regarded as an effective way to improve the efficiency of PSCs based on 2D perovskite. In this paper, five different assistant solvents were selected to unveil the effect of solvents on crystallization and morphology of 2D perovskite in a solvent-assisted method. Results demonstrated that the effect of Lewis basicity on the crystallization process was the most important factor for preparing 2D perovskite. The stability of the intermediate, reacted between the solvent and the Pb²⁺, determined the quality of 2D film. The stronger the Lewis basicity was, the more obvious the accurate control effect on the top-down crystallization process of 2D perovskite would be. This could enhance the crystallographic orientation of 2D perovskite. The effect of Lewis basicity played a more important role than other properties of the solvent, such as boiling point and polarity.
