Abstract As of recent years, triple-cation perovskite solar cells have received immense attention due to its superior efficiency and better stability comparing to the classic single-cation perovskite solar cells such as MAPbI3 or FAPbI3. A triple-cation perovskite layer which has been used most recently is cesium-containing FAPbI3-based perovskite. One of decent approaches to fabricate the layer is spin-coating technique by using two-step deposition process in which mixed lead-halide and CsI precursor is firstly spin-coated onto a substrate, then organic cation solution is deposited on the lead-halide layer. In this work, the results show that the performance of the devices from this process is lower than expected that could be due to difficulty of cesium ion incorporation as a stabilizer for FAPbI3-based perovskite. Perovskite seeding growth is introduced to solve the problem where the process is slightly modified from conventional two-step deposition methods by adding small amount of perovskite seed precursor into PbI2 solution. The concentration of the perovskite seed in PbI2 solution was varied for 0, 7, 14 and 20% v/v. The highest average efficiency of 11.9% was obtained from 7% v/v seeding concentration. Furthermore, the device performance could be improved by using proper amount of chlorobenzene (CB) as an anti-solvent. The highest efficiency of 18.4% was achieved by using 30 µl of chlorobenzene.

Abstract The toxic lead in traditional perovskite solar cells (PSCs) poses a fatal threat to the environment, and it takes time and technology to complete the transition to lead-free perovskite solar cells. In this work, we introduce a lead-tin laminated perovskite solar cell, which can obviously reduce the toxicity of lead. Our ultimate goal is to study the factors that affect the performance of the device. On the basis of reducing the lead-based perovskite layer, use SACPS-1D (solar cell capacitor simulator) to optimize the parameters to maximize the performance of the entire device. Adjusting the physical parameters, we got the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.59% and 6.14% for single-cell lead-based and single-cell tin-based perovskite solar cells respectively, which are close to the experimental results. The simulation results show that under the laminated structure, the thickness of the two perovskite absorber materials based on lead and tin has a certain influence on the performance of the device. After optimization, it is determined that the best thicknesses of lead-based absorption layer (LBA) and tin-based absorption layer (TBA) are 20nm and 150nm respectively. Optimize the doping concentration of acceptor and donor of the laminated perovskite absorber layer to obtain higher PCE and open circuit voltage (VOC). The best values are 1015cm-3 and 1016cm-3 for LBA and TBA respectively. We also found that when adjusting the positions of LBA and TBA, the recombination rate under different defect densities verified that the laminated absorption layer close to the light source side dominates the device performance. Provide reference for future optimization of laminated perovskite solar cells. Considering these factors comprehensively, we optimized the device performance parameters as follows: VOC=0.9266V, JSC =19.5556 mA/cm2, FF=71.12 % and PCE=12.89%.

The Impact

High-performance perovskite solar cells are strongly dependent on the quality of the perovskite layer. Two-step sequential deposition of CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) films is widely used to fabricate perovskite solar cells and many factors influence the quality of perovskite films, such as the delay time before annealing the MAI-PbI2-DMSO intermediate phase, which would impact the morphology and photo-physical properties of perovskite thin films. Here, the experimental research indicates that the impact of the delay time before annealing the MAI-PbI2-DMSO intermediate phase on the quality, crystallinity, and photo-physical properties of perovskite film is crucial. During the delay process, the delay time before annealing the MAI-PbI2-DMSO intermediate phase plays an important role in the nucleation process of perovskite grains inside the intermediate phase. With the extension of the delay time before annealing, the quality of the perovskite film deteriorates, thus the photo-physical properties change. We found that after the localized liquid–liquid diffusion of MAI and PbI2, with the extension of the delay time before annealing the MAI-PbI2-DMSO intermediate phase, the nucleation number of the perovskite grains increases and the grain size becomes smaller. Therefore, with the extension of the delay time before annealing, the device performance deteriorates.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been developed rapidly in recent years. How to modify the photophysical properties of perovskite films has become the critical issue, affecting device performance. In this paper, NaI doping into the perovskite layer is attempted to modulate the photophysical properties to improve the performance of PSCs. The perovskite layer was prepared by using the one-step solution spin coating method with doping different concentrations of NaI into the perovskite precursor solution and chlorobenzene employed as the antisolvent. Experimental results show that the absorption band edge and the peak position of the PL spectrum of the doped perovskite thin film were red shifted; thus, the band gap of the semiconductor film became narrow. Doping NaI into perovskite is an effective way, by which the photophysical properties of perovskite films are well modified, thus improving device performance.
