紫外光辐照下CH3NH3PbI3基钙钛矿太阳能电池失效机制

随着光伏产业的不断发展,有机无机杂化钙钛矿太阳能电池的研发成为科学与工业界广泛关注的焦点。到目前为止,其光电转换效率已经提高到了25.2%,成为替代硅基太阳能电池的核心方案之一。然而,钙钛矿太阳能电池的稳定性较差,容易受到环境中氧气、水分、温度甚至光照的影响,这严重制约了其大规模推广与应用。大量科学研究表明,如何避免紫外辐照下有机无机杂化钙钛矿太阳能电池的性能衰减,对于提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的光照稳定性至关重要。然而到目前为止,仍然没有系统的工作来对紫外辐照下钙钛矿太阳能电池性能以及微结构演化过程进行详细的表征与分析。本文中,我们利用聚焦离子束-扫描电子显微分析(FIB-SEM)以及球差校正透射电子显微分析(TEM)等技术,全面地研究了紫外辐照过程中有机无机杂化钙钛矿太阳能电池性能变化规律以及电池微结构演化特征。实验结果表明,紫外辐照过程中太阳能电池内部会形成0.5–0.6 V的内建电场,钙钛矿中的I^-离子在电场的驱动下向金属Au电极和空穴传输层2, 2’, 7, 7’-四[N, N-二(4-甲氧基苯基)氨基]-9, 9'-螺二芴(Spiro-OMeTAD)一侧迁移;随后,空穴传输层与金电极的界面处,碘离子与光生空穴一起与金电极发生反应,将金属态Au氧化成离子态Au⁺。而Au⁺离子则在内建电场的驱动下反向迁移穿过钙钛矿MAPbI₃层,直接被SnO₂和MAPbI₃界面处的电子还原形成金属Au纳米团簇。除此之外,紫外辐照过程中钙钛矿太阳能电池性能降低的同时,往往伴随着Spiro-OMeTAD与钙钛矿界面处物质迁移、钙钛矿薄膜内晶界展宽以及Au纳米颗粒周围MAPbI₃物相分解等现象。以上各种因素的协同作用,共同导致了紫外光照下有机无机杂化钙钛矿太阳能电池光电转换性能(PCE)、开路电压(V_oc)以及短路电流(J_sc)等性能参数的急剧下降。

基于CH3NH3PbI3单晶的Ta2O5顶栅双极性场效应晶体管

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite methylammonium lead iodide (CH₃NH₃PbI₃) generally tends to show n-type semiconductor properties. In this work, a field-effect transistor (FET) device based on a CH₃NH₃PbI₃ single crystal with tantalum pentoxide (Ta₂O₅) as the top gate dielectric was fabricated. The p-type field-effect transport properties of the device were observed in the dark. The hole mobility of the device extracted from transfer characteristics in the dark was 8.7×10^-5 cm²·V^-1·s^-1, which is one order of magnitude higher than that of polycrystalline FETs with SiO₂ as the bottom gate dielectric. In addition, the effect of light illumination on the CH₃NH₃PbI₃ single-crystal FET was studied. Light illumination strongly influenced the field effect of the device because of the intense photoelectric response of the CH₃NH₃PbI₃ single crystal. Different from a CH₃NH₃PbI₃ polycrystalline FET with a bottom gate dielectric, even with the top gate dielectric shielding, light illumination of 5.00 mW·cm^-2 caused the hole current to increase by one order of magnitude compared with that in the dark (V_GS (gate-source voltage)=V_DS (drain-source voltage)=20 V) and the photoresponsivity reached 2.5 A·W^-1. The introduction of Ta₂O₅ as the top gate dielectric selectively enhanced hole transport in the single-crystal FET, indicating that in the absence of external factors, by appropriate device design, CH₃NH₃PbI₃ also has potential for use in ambipolar transistors.     

第一性原理研究混合钙钛矿CH3NH3PbxSn1－xI3结构及光电特性

有机/无机钙钛矿是一类极具潜质的光电材料,目前已实现超过20%的光电转化效率。本文采用第一性原理对有机/无机混合钙钛矿CH₃NH₃Pb_xSn_1-xI₃ (x = 0-1)的结构及光电特性进行了理论研究。结果表明,范德华力(VDW)在优化钙钛矿结构中起着重要的作用,考虑范德华力可减小Pb/Sn―I键长,从而减小体系体积。通过分析甲胺离子CH₃NH₃⁺的态密度和Bader电荷,我们发现其对前线轨道没有贡献,仅仅扮演电荷供体的角色。Pb/Sn与I之间同时存在共价键和离子键相互作用。价带顶(VBM)主要是由I 5p以及Pb 6s (Sn 5s)杂化组成,而导带底(CBM)主要由Pb 6p (Sn 5p)轨道组成。在可见光区,随着波长的增加,体系吸收强度呈现整体下降趋势;随着Sn/Pb比值逐渐增大,吸收强度呈现增大趋势。CH₃NH₃SnI₃在可见光区表现出较佳的吸收光谱特性。

钙钛矿太阳能电池以其高效、低成本的特点备受关注。到目前为止,钙钛矿太阳能电池的最高光电转换效率已经超过25%,显示出良好的应用前景。钙钛矿薄膜的结晶性能是决定器件性能的关键,因此,调控钙钛矿薄膜的生长过程至关重要。本工作中,我们发现通过简单调节前驱体溶剂,即调节二甲基亚砜：1, 4-丁内酯: N, N-二甲基甲酰胺(DMSO : GBL : DMF)的三种混合溶剂的比例,可实现钙钛矿薄膜中PbI₂和PbI₂(DMSO)含量的调节,从而调节电池的器件性能。此外,本工作系统研究了PbI₂和PbI₂(DMSO)的含量对器件性能的影响。结果表明,PbI₂(DMSO)的形成会导致300–425 nm波长范围内电池的外量子效率(EQE)降低,从而导致器件性能下降。相反,通过在前驱体溶液中添加额外的碘化亚甲基铵(MAI),可以抑制PbI₂和PbI₂(DMSO)的形成。

Perovskite-sensitized solar cell utilizing TiO2 nanograss: Effect of dipping time of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite

Organic perovskite has potential to replace organic dye as light absorber in solar cell since it possesses better optical absorption in visible region than organic dye. This work is concerned with the investigation of the influence of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite dipping time on the performance of perovskite-sensitized solar cell (PSSC). The effect of the dipping time on the morphology and photoluminescence of the sample has also been investigated. It was found that the device achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) as high as 5.57 ± 0.4% at the optimum dipping time of 4 h. The highest PCE is due to the highest IPCE, lowest R_ct and the longest carrier lifetime (τ).     

Theoretical Treatment of CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells

Hybrid halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) giving over 22 % power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) have attracted considerable attention. Although perovskite plays a significant role in the operation of PSCs, the fundamental theories associated with perovskites have not been resolved in spite of the increase in research. In this Minireview, we assess the current understanding, based on the first‐principles calculations, of structural and electronic properties, defects, ionic diffusion, and shift current for CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite, and the effect of ionic transport on the hysteresis of current–voltage curves in PSCs. The shift current connected to the possible presence of ferroelectricity is also discussed. The current state‐of‐the‐art and some open questions regarding PSCs are also highlighted, and the benefits, challenges, and potentials of perovskite for use in PSCs are stressed.     

Control of Charge Transport in the Perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 Thin Film

Carrier density and transport properties in the CH₃NH₃PbI₃ thin film have been investigated. It is found that the carrier density, the depletion field, and the charge collection and transport properties in the CH₃NH₃PbI₃ absorber film can be controlled effectively by different concentrations of reactants. That is, the carrier properties and the self‐doping characteristics in CH₃NH₃PbI₃ films are strongly influenced by the reaction thermodynamic and kinetic processes. Furthermore, by employing mixed solvents with ethanol and isopropanol to deposit the CH₃NH₃PbI₃ film, the charge collection and transport efficiencies are improved significantly, thereby yielding an overall enhanced cell performance.     

Engineering of CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite Crystals by Alloying Large Organic Cations for Enhanced Thermal Stability and Transport Properties

The number of studies on organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites has soared in recent years. However, the majority of hybrid perovskites under investigation are based on a limited number of organic cations of suitable sizes, such as methylammonium and formamidinium. These small cations easily fit into the perovskite's three‐dimensional (3D) lead halide framework to produce semiconductors with excellent charge transport properties. Until now, larger cations, such as ethylammonium, have been found to form 2D crystals with lead halide. Here we show for the first time that ethylammonium can in fact be incorporated coordinately with methylammonium in the lattice of a 3D perovskite thanks to a balance of opposite lattice distortion strains. This inclusion results in higher crystal symmetry, improved material stability, and markedly enhanced charge carrier lifetime. This crystal engineering strategy of balancing opposite lattice distortion effects vastly increases the number of potential choices of organic cations for 3D perovskites, opening up new degrees of freedom to tailor their optoelectronic and environmental properties.     

Freezing the polarization of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskite films

Thin films of methylammonium lead halides, CH₃NH₃PbI₃ and CH₃NH₃PbI_3-xCl_x, were deposited onto symmetrical microstructured electrode arrays of gold or platinum on Si/SiO₂ wafers. Polarization studies were carried out on perovskite films under vacuum in the dark. For poling, a constant voltage was applied to the samples while the temperature was cycled between 295 K and 4 K. The measured current densities depending on the temperature showed distinct characteristics relating strongly to the crystal phase and the dielectric properties of the perovskite films. Voltage sweeps were carried out at different scan rates at specific temperature intervals after poling. The polarization of the films due to the migration of iodide vacancies in direction of the blocking perovskite/metal interface was frozen almost up to room temperature. Charge carriers were only able to cross the blocking barrier and contribute to the current where the ions have accumulated during poling. All J-V curves showed hysteresis: inverted and regular hysteresis at room temperature and below, respectively. Inverted hysteresis originates from the slow accumulation of ions at the blocking barrier, while regular hysteresis arises from a distortion in the adjacent crystals which will be discussed.

醋酸铅作为铅源合成CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx纳米晶体颗粒

Lead acetate, which is highly soluble in dimethylformamide, was used to synthesize mixed halide perovskite CH₃NH₃PbBr_3-xCl_x (MA = CH₃NH₃, 0 ≤ x ≤ 3) nanocrystals (NCs). This method provides an approach to address the low solubility of lead halides, especially lead chloride. Different Br/Cl ratios in MAPbBr_3-xCl_x lead to various optical properties. The photoluminescence emission peak can be tuned from 399 to 527 nm. Their full-widths at half-maxima (FWHM) are about 20 nm. MAPbBr_3-xCl_x NCs have an average diameter of ~(11 ± 3) nm and have uniform dispersion in toluene. The MAPbBr₃ NCs have a long average recombination lifetime (τ_ave = 97.4 ns) and a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of up to 73%.
