A self-organized hole extraction layer (SOHEL) with high work function (WF) is designed for energy level alignment with the ionization potential level of CH3 NH3 PbI3 . The SOHEL increases the built-in potential, photocurrent, and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of CH3 NH3 PbI3 perovskite solar cells. Thus, interface engineering of the positive electrode of solution-processed planar heterojunction solar cells using a high-WF SOHEL is a very effective way to achieve high device efficiency (PCE

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials offer the potential for realization of low-cost and flexible next-generation solar cells fabricated by low-temperature solution processing. Although efficiencies of perovskite solar cells have dramatically improved up to 19% within the past 5 years, there is still considerable room for further improvement in device efficiency and stability through development of novel materials and device architectures. Here we demonstrate that inverted-type perovski

We investigate mixed solvents of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and γ-butyrolactone (GBL) to produce the smooth surface of a perovskite film and uniform crystal domains. This ideal morphology from mixed solvents enhances the power conversion efficiency to over 6% by improving the exciton dissociation efficiency and reducing the recombination loss at both interfaces of PEDOT:PSS/perovskite and perovskite/PCBM.

Ultralight and flexible perovskite solar cells with the orthogonal AgNW electrodes exhibit an excellent power-per-weight of 29.4 W g⁻¹.

Edged-selectively fluorine (F) functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (EFGnPs-F) with a p–i–n structure of perovskite solar cells achieved 82% stability relative to initial performance over 30 days of air exposure without encapsulation. The enhanced stability stems from F-substitution on EFGnPs; fluorocarbons such as polytetrafluoroethylene are well-known for their superhydrophobic properties and being impervious to chemical degradation. These hydrophobic moieties tightly protect perovskite layer

CsPbX₃ (X = I, Br, Cl) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have recently emerged as emitting materials for optoelectronic and display applications owing to their easily tunable emissions, high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), and vivid color purity (full width at half maximum of approximately 20 nm). However, the lagging quantum yields of blue-emitting perovskite NCs have resulted in low efficiency compared to green or red perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs); moreover, the long

Electron transport layers are used to minimize energetic barriers to electron injection and extraction in methylammonium lead bromide films, allowing photocurrent generation and light emission from “peroptronic” light-emitting solar cells.

The all-inorganic perovskite CsPbI₃ has emerged as an alternative photovoltaic material to organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites due to its non-volatile composition and comparable photovoltaic performance.

Abstract Significant aggregation between ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) dispersed in polar and nonpolar solvents hinders the formation of high quality thin film for the device application and impedes their excellent electron transporting ability. Herein a bifunctional coordination complex, titanium diisopropoxide bis(acetylacetonate) (Ti(acac) 2 ) is employed as efficient stabilizer to improve colloidal stability of ZnO NPs. Acetylacetonate functionalized ZnO exhibited long-term stability and maint

Formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI3) has recently been considered as the most promising candidate to achieve highly efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Excitingly, the state-of-the-art highest efficiency of FAPbI3 based PSCs have reached over 25%. However, their device stability still lags behind other compositions of mixed-cation and mixed-halide perovskites. Interfacial engineering is a very powerful method to address this issue and passivation agents have been intensively developed, how

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with ammonium passivation exhibit superior device performance and stability. Beyond typical chemical passivation, ammonium salts control the electronic structure of perovskite surfaces, yet the molecular structure–property relationship requires further understanding, especially the dipole effect. Here, we employed carbazole and its halogenated counterpart as the functional group of ammonium salts. 2-Chloro-carbazol-9-ethylammonium iodide (CzCl-EAI) with a rigid, con
