Ligand-Assisted Coupling Manipulation for Efficient and Stable FAPbI3 Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells

For emerging perovskite quantum dots (QDs), understanding the surface features and their impact on the materials and devices is becoming increasingly urgent. In this family, hybrid FAPbI₃ QDs (FA: formamidium) exhibit higher ambient stability, near-infrared absorption and sufficient carrier lifetime. However, hybrid QDs suffer from difficulty in modulating surface ligand, which is essential for constructing conductive QD arrays for photovoltaics. Herein, assisted by an ionic liquid formamidine thiocyanate, we report a facile surface reconfiguration methodology to modulate surface and manipulate electronic coupling of FAPbI₃ QDs, which is exploited to enhance charge transport for fabricating high-quality QD arrays and photovoltaic devices. Finally, a record-high efficiency approaching 15 % is achieved for FAPbI₃ QD solar cells, and they retain over 80 % of the initial efficiency after aging in ambient environment (20–30 % humidity, 25 °C) for over 600 h.

贫PbI2基体的胶体量子点固体用于高效红外太阳能电池(英文)

胶体量子点(CQD)具有优异的红外光吸收能力和光谱可调特性,是用于制备高效太阳能电池最有前途的红外光电材料之一。然而,以醋酸铵(AA)为添加剂的液相配体交换会导致CQD固体中产生宽带隙PbI₂基质,其将作为电荷传输势垒,在很大程度上影响了CQD太阳能电池(CQDSC)中载流子的提取,从而影响了光伏性能。本文报道利用二甲基碘化铵(DMAI)调节CQD配体交换过程,使载流子在CQD固体中的传输势垒大幅降低。通过对CQD固体进行全面的表征和理论计算,充分揭示了DMAI和CQD之间的相互作用。结果表明,通过DMAI调节CQD配体交换过程,使CQD固体均匀堆积,提高了载流子输运性能,并且陷阱辅助复合受到显著抑制。因此,CQDSC器件中的载流子提取得到了大幅提高,能量转换效率(PCE)比用AA制备的CQDSC器件提高了17.8%。此工作为调控CQD表面化学特性提供了新的研究思路,并为降低CQD固体中载流子输运的势垒提供了可行的方法。

Iodonium Initiators: Paving the Air-free Oxidation of Spiro-OMeTAD for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

To date, perovskite solar cells (pero-SCs) with doped 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9′-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD) hole transporting layers (HTLs) have shown the highest recorded power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). However, their commercialization is still impeded by poor device stability owing to the hygroscopic lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and volatile 4-tert-butylpyridine dopants as well as time-consuming oxidation in air. In this study, we explored a series of single-component iodonium initiators with strong oxidability and different electron delocalization properties to precisely manipulate the oxidation states of Spiro-OMeTAD without air assistance, and the oxidation mechanism was clearly understood. Iodine (III) in the diphenyliodonium cation (IP⁺) can accept a single electron from Spiro-OMeTAD and forms Spiro-OMeTAD⋅⁺ owing to its strong oxidability. Moreover, because of the coordination of the strongly delocalized TFSI⁻ with Spiro-OMeTAD⋅⁺ in a stable radical complex, the resulting hole mobility was 30 times higher than that of pristine Spiro-OMeTAD. In addition, the IP-TFSI initiator facilitated the growth of a homogeneous and pinhole-free Spiro-OMeTAD film. The pero-SCs based on this oxidizing HTL showed excellent efficiencies of 25.16 % (certified: 24.85 % for 0.062-cm²) and 20.71 % for a 15.03-cm² module as well as remarkable overall stability.     

Dynamics of the Size Distribution of CdTe Quantum Dot Ensembles during Growth in Liquid and Crystalline Phases

We recently reported that the growth rate of colloidal CdTe nanoparticles decreases by orders of magnitude when the particles undergo a phase transition from liquid to crystal. The dynamics of nanoparticle growth are dominated by this factor rather than the size dependence of the chemical potential. Herein we discuss how the phase transition affects the size distribution and photoluminescence quantum efficiency of the nanoparticles. We suggest that the absorption linewidth is a better monitor of size distribution than the photoluminescence linewidth because the photoluminescence quantum efficiency, which affects the latter via energy transfer, varies substantially with reaction time. We find that the size distribution broadens in the early stages of growth possibly because of inhomogeneities in the phase transition radius or because particles nucleated at later times coalesce with nanocrystals. The quantum efficiency is enhanced when tellurium is depleted in the reaction solution, giving a cadmium‐enriched surface. Batches with high initial tellurium and cadmium concentrations show a substantial amount of delayed nucleation, lower quantum efficiency and some anisotropic growth.
