Impermeable Atomic Layer Deposition for Sputtering Buffer Layer in Efficient Semi-Transparent and Tandem Solar Cells via Activating Unreactive Substrate

Bohao Yu et al.

Summary: Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an attractive technology for preparing sputtering buffer layers in semi-transparent perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and tandem solar cells. The ALD process can result in pin-hole layers due to island growth when the substrate is unreactive with the ALD reactants, which adversely affects anti-sputtering. In this study, ALD SnOx was used as the sputtering buffer layer in p-i-n structured PSCs, and impermeable ALD layers were formed by activating the unreactive substrate PCBM. The authors successfully fabricated ST-PSCs and perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells with high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), as well as demonstrated the long-term stability of the devices.

In-situ peptization of WO3 in alkaline SnO2 colloid for stable perovskite solar cells with record fill-factor approaching the shockley-queisser limit

Zicheng Li et al.

Summary: SnO2-based electron transport layers exhibit excellent properties but suffer from structural defects. A novel WO3 @SnO2 nanocomposite ETL is introduced to stabilize and bind defect sites, achieving molecular level passivation of SnO2 layer and improved device performance. This work provides a promising method to approach the Shockley-Queisser limit of fill factor for single-junction PSC.

Can Vacuum Deposition Apply to Bismuth-Doped γ-CsPbI3 Perovskite? Revealing the Role of Bi3+ in the Formation of Black Phase

Chenggang Yang et al.

Summary: This study aims to achieve low-temperature black phase transition using heterovalent doped CsPb1-xBixI3 and further explores the feasibility of doping Bi3+ through vacuum deposition. However, the coevaporated films are mainly composed of another hexagonal perovskite phase and fail to reduce the black phase transition temperature.

Optimum silver contact sputtering parameters for efficient perovskite solar cell fabrication

Martin C. Eze et al.

Summary: This study investigated the optimization of sputtering parameters for fabricating highly efficient perovskite solar cells using magnetron sputtering, achieving a high conversion efficiency of 18.35% and excellent device performance. Sputtering power was identified as the most critical factor that needs to be carefully controlled to minimize damage to the hole transport layer, demonstrating the potential for producing efficient perovskite solar cells through careful optimization of sputtering parameters.

Low-Temperature Oxide/Metal/Oxide Multilayer Films as Highly Transparent Conductive Electrodes for Optoelectronic Devices

Yunlong Zhang et al.

Summary: Transparent conductors are crucial for optoelectronic and flexible electronic devices, with oxide/metal/oxide (OMO) multilayer films showing promise as an alternative to traditional transparent conductive oxides (TCOs). However, deposition methods like magnetron sputtering or thermal evaporation can lead to device performance deterioration due to ion bombardment or high temperatures. New techniques, such as reactive plasma deposition (RPD) for high-quality MGZO films and ultrathin Ag films prepared by magnetron sputtering, are being explored to improve conductivity and transmittance in OMO structures.
