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.

AbstractPoly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) mixed with single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) (10:1) and doped with (0.1 M) perchloric acid (HClO4) in a solution-processed film, working as an excellent thin transparent conducting film (TCF) in organic solar cells, was investigated. This new electrode structure can be an outstanding substitute for conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) for applications in flexible solar cells due to the potential of attaining high transparency with enhanced conductivity, good flexibility, and good durability via a low-cost process over a large area. In addition, solution-processed vanadium oxide (VOx) doped with a small amount of PEDOT-PSS(PH1000) can be applied as a hole transport layer (HTL) for achieving high efficiency and stability. From these viewpoints, we investigate the benefit of using printed SWNTs-PEDOT-PSS doped with HClO4 as a transparent conducting electrode in a flexible organic solar cell. Additionally, we applied a VOx-PEDOT-PSS thin film as a hole transporting layer and a blend of PTB7 (polythieno[3,4-b] thiophene/benzodithiophene): PC71BM (phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester) as an active layer in devices. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were applied as an electron transport layer and Ag was used as the top electrode. The proposed solar cell structure showed an enhancement in short-circuit current, power conversion efficiency, and stability relative to a conventional cell based on ITO. This result suggests a great carrier injection throughout the interfacial layer, high conductivity and transparency, as well as firm adherence for the new electrode.
