Ferroelectric solar cells were fabricated by using the inorganic–organic hybrid perovskite materials, and power conversion efficieny as high as 6.7% had been obtained based on the MAPbI3−xClxthin film. This work provides an alternative avenue for high-performance ferroelectric solar cells beyond inorganic ferroelectric oxides.

Abstract All-inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have received intense research interest for photovoltaic applications because of the recently demonstrated higher power conversion efficiency compared to solar cells using other QD materials. These QD devices also exhibit good mechanical stability amongst various thin-film photovoltaic technologies. In this work, through developing a hybrid interfacial architecture consisting of CsPbI3 QD/PCBM heterojunctions, we report the formation of an energy cascade for efficient charge transfer at both QD heterointerfaces and QD/electron transport layer interfaces. The champion CsPbI3 QD solar cell has a best power conversion efficiency of 15.1%, which is among the highest report to date. Building on this strategy, we demonstrate the very first perovskite QD flexible solar cell with a record efficiency of 12.3%. A detailed morphological characterization reveals that the perovskite QD film can better retain structure integrity than perovskite bulk thin-film under external mechanical stress. This work is the first to demonstrate higher mechanical endurance of QD film compared to bulk thin-film, and highlights the importance of further research on high‐performance and flexible optoelectronic devices using solution-processed QDs.

AbstractTandem organic solar cells are based on the device structure monolithically connecting two solar cells to broaden overall absorption spectrum and utilize the photon energy more efficiently. Herein, we demonstrate a simple strategy of inserting a double bond between the central core and end groups of the small molecule acceptor Y6 to extend its conjugation length and absorption range. As a result, a new narrow bandgap acceptor BTPV-4F was synthesized with an optical bandgap of 1.21 eV. The single-junction devices based on BTPV-4F as acceptor achieved a power conversion efficiency of over 13.4% with a high short-circuit current density of 28.9 mA cm−2. With adopting BTPV-4F as the rear cell acceptor material, the resulting tandem devices reached a high power conversion efficiency of over 16.4% with good photostability. The results indicate that BTPV-4F is an efficient infrared-absorbing narrow bandgap acceptor and has great potential to be applied into tandem organic solar cells.

AbstractAll-inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dots have received substantial research interest for photovoltaic applications because of higher efficiency compared to solar cells using other quantum dots materials and the various exciting properties that perovskites have to offer. These quantum dot devices also exhibit good mechanical stability amongst various thin-film photovoltaic technologies. We demonstrate higher mechanical endurance of quantum dot films compared to bulk thin film and highlight the importance of further research on high-performance and flexible optoelectronic devices using nanoscale grains as an advantage. Specifically, we develop a hybrid interfacial architecture consisting of CsPbI3 quantum dot/PCBM heterojunction, enabling an energy cascade for efficient charge transfer and mechanical adhesion. The champion CsPbI3 quantum dot solar cell has an efficiency of 15.1% (stabilized power output of 14.61%), which is among the highest report to date. Building on this strategy, we further demonstrate a highest efficiency of 12.3% in flexible quantum dot photovoltaics.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials have attracted tremendous attention as a key material in various optoelectronic devices. Distinctive optoelectronic properties, such as a tunable energy band position, long carrier diffusion lengths, and high charge carrier mobility, have allowed rapid progress in various perovskite-based optoelectronic devices (solar cells, photodetectors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and lasers). Interestingly, the developments of each field are based on different characteristics of perovskite materials which are suitable for their own applications. In this review, we provide the fundamental properties of perovskite materials and categorize the usages in various optoelectronic applications. In addition, the prerequisite factors for those applications are suggested to understand the recent progress of perovskite-based optoelectronic devices and the challenges that need to be solved for commercialization.
