Hole Transport Layer

A high-efficiency inverted-type CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) solar cell was fabricated by using a ultrathin poly[3-(4-carboxybutyl)thiophene-2,5-diyl]-Na (P3CT-Na) film as the hole transport layer. The averaged power conversion efficiency (PCE) can be largely increased from 11.72 to 18.92% with a double-filtering process of the P3CT-Na solution mainly due to the increase in short-circuit current density (JSC) from 19.43 to 23.88 mA/cm2, which means that the molecular packing structure of P3CT-Na thin film can influence the formation of the MAPbI3 thin film and the contact quality at the MAPbI3/P3CT-Na interface. Zeta potentials, atomic-force microscopic images, absorbance spectra, photoluminescence spectra, X-ray diffraction patterns, and Raman scattering spectra are used to understand the improvement in the JSC. Besides, the light intensity-dependent and wavelength-dependent photovoltaic performance of the MAPbI3 solar cells shows that the P3CT-Na thin film is not only used as the hole transport layer but also plays an important role during the formation of a high-quality MAPbI3 thin film. It is noted that the PCE values of the best P3CT-Na based MAPbI3 solar cell are higher than 30% in the yellow-to-near infrared wavelength range under low light intensities. On the other hand, it is predicted that the double-filtering method can be readily used to increase the PCE of polymer based solar cells.

Abstract Fill factor (FF) deficit and stability is a primary concern with the perovskite solar cell. Resistance values and band alignment at junction interface in perovskite are causing low fill factor. Moisture sensitivity of methylammonium lead halide perovskite is causing a stability issue. We tried to solve these issues by using inorganic hole transport layer (HTL). FF is sensitive to the band offset values. We study the band alignment/band offset effect at the Perovskite /HTL junction. Inorganic material replacing Spiro-MeOTAD can enhance the stability of the device by providing an insulation from ambient. Our simulation study shows that the earth abundant p-type chalcogenide materials of SnS as HTL in perovskite is comparable to Spiro-MeOTAD efficiency.
