Emission Spectroscopy Investigation of the Enhancement of Carrier Collection Efficiency in AgBiS2-Nanocrystal/ZnO-Nanowire Heterojunction Solar Cells

Yun Xiao et al.

Summary: This study fabricated eco-friendly solar cells using interdigitated layers consisting of ZnO nanowires and infrared absorbing AgBiS2 nanocrystals. The quality of ZnO nanowires and its defects affecting solar cell performance were investigated. Oxygen vacancies and Zn interstitial sites were identified as the main recombination sites, hindering carrier collection in the solar cells. By reducing the concentration of these defects, the structural order and electron-phonon interaction in ZnO nanowires were improved. Furthermore, the study emphasized the significance of reducing defects in ZnO for improving not only colloidal quantum dot solar cells but also other emerging solar cell technologies.

All-perovskite tandem solar cells with improved grain surface passivation

Renxing Lin et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed ammonium-cation-passivated Pb-Sn perovskites with long diffusion lengths, enabling high-efficiency all-perovskite tandem solar cells. By enhancing the adsorption of the passivator using a stronger surface-passivator interaction, the carrier diffusion length within Pb-Sn perovskites is doubled, resulting in an efficiency of over 22%. The certified efficiency of 26.4% achieved in the all-perovskite tandem solar cells exceeds that of the best-performing single-junction perovskite solar cells.

Highly Stable Interdigitated PbS Quantum Dot and ZnO Nanowire Solar Cells with an Automatically Embedded Electron-Blocking Layer

Haibin Wang et al.

Summary: The heterojunction iodide ligand PbS quantum dot (QD) and ZnO nanowire (NW) solar cells demonstrate high charge separation efficiency, high external quantum efficiency in visible and infrared regions, and stability performance even after 500 days of storage without encapsulation. The PbS QD capping layer acts as an effective electron-blocking layer (EBL), contributing to the overall performance of the solar cells. The interdigitated architecture concept presents a promising strategy for achieving highly efficient and stable colloidal QD-based solar cells, with potential extensions to various organic and inorganic hybrid solar cells.
