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.

Visualizing the Surface Photocurrent Distribution in Perovskite Photovoltaics

Jing Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, a strategy to visualize the surface carriers and photocurrent distribution on perovskite films in the horizontal direction is proposed. The visual image is achieved by combining static local carrier distribution provided by scanning near-field optical microscopy with dynamic carrier transportation achieved via a scanning photocurrent measurement system. This strategy enables comprehensive analysis of trap states in perovskite films vertically and horizontally, contributing to a deeper understanding of defect mechanisms and carrier behavior.
