Regulating surface potential maximizes voltage in all-perovskite tandems

Hao Chen et al.

Summary: The open-circuit voltage deficit in wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells is larger than in perovskites with a bandgap of approximately 1.5 eV. The limiting factor for the open-circuit voltage is found to be recombination at the electron-transport-layer contact, resulting from inhomogeneous surface potential and poor energetic alignment. To address this issue, a new surface treatment using diammonium molecules is introduced to achieve a more uniform distribution of surface potential.

Summary: Researchers have discovered that lattice distortion in iodide/bromide mixed perovskites can suppress phase segregation, leading to increased ion-migration energy barrier. By using an approximately 2.0-electron-volt rubidium/caesium mixed-cation inorganic perovskite with large lattice distortion, they achieved an efficiency of 24.3% in all-perovskite triple-junction solar cells.

Improving interface quality for 1-cm2 all-perovskite tandem solar cells

Rui He et al.

Summary: All-perovskite tandem solar cells exhibit high power conversion efficiency and low cost. The efficiency improvement in small-area tandem solar cells is driven by advances in low-bandgap perovskite bottom subcells. However, wide-bandgap perovskite top subcells still face issues, especially in large-area tandem solar cells. In this study, a self-assembled monolayer of (4-(7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazol-7-yl)butyl)phosphonic acid is developed as a hole-selective layer for wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells, which enables efficient hole extraction. By integrating this layer, a high efficiency monolithic all-perovskite tandem solar cell with a large area is achieved.

Ting Nie et al.

Summary: Perovskite-based tandem solar cells have attracted increasing interest due to their potential to surpass the Shockley-Queisser limit for single-junction solar cells. Wide-bandgap perovskites act as front absorbers in tandem architectures, offering higher open-circuit voltage and reduced thermalization losses.
