Dual Additive for Simultaneous Improvement of Photovoltaic Performance and Stability of Perovskite Solar Cell

In Seok Yang et al.

Summary: Additive engineering is an efficient approach for improving photovoltaic performance and phase stability of formamidinium-based perovskite, with a dual additive strategy of mixing MACl and CsCl proving successful in enhancing open-circuit voltage Voc, reducing trap density, and increasing resistance against charge recombination. The best power conversion efficiency achieved with the dual additive is 23.22%, outperforming single additive strategies using MACl or CsCl.

CsCl-induced defect control of CsPbI2Br thin films for achieving open-circuit voltage of 1.33 V in all-inorganic perovskite solar cells

In Su Jin et al.

Summary: The optimization of alpha-CsPbI2Br morphology with low defect density and large grain size through the addition of cesium chloride (CsCl) improves the energy loss challenge in all-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The CsPbI2Br film grown with CsCl exhibits high crystallinity and largely-grained morphology, leading to reduced defect density and enhanced stability. The CsCl-employed device shows improved efficiency and stability, making it applicable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Efficient Wide-Bandgap Mixed-Cation and Mixed-Halide Perovskite Solar Cells by Vacuum Deposition

Lidon Gil-Escrig et al.

Summary: The vacuum deposition method is increasingly used for preparing perovskite films and devices with multilayer structures at low temperatures. Wide-bandgap perovskites with tunable bandgaps can be prepared using a four-source vacuum deposition process, leading to high efficiency solar cells with promising stability. Solar cells based on a 1.75 eV bandgap perovskite show efficiency up to 16.8% and maintain 90% of the initial efficiency after 2 weeks of operation.

40.1% Record Low-Light Solar-Cell Efficiency by Holistic Trap-Passivation using Micrometer-Thick Perovskite Film

Xilai He et al.

Summary: Perovskite solar cells show high efficiency in both full sunlight and low-light conditions, with a record efficiency of 40.1% achieved under warm LED light. A holistic passivation strategy reduces trap states in both surface and bulk of the perovskite film, resulting in increased charge carrier lifetimes and decreased nonradiative recombination loss. This work paves the way for high-performance, self-powered IoT devices.
