Functional Ionic Liquid Polymer Stabilizer for High-Performance Perovskite Photovoltaics

Yunxiu Shen et al.

Summary: The stability-related issues of perovskite precursor inks, films, device structures, and interdependence have not been explored sufficiently. In this study, a ionic-liquid polymer (poly[Se-MI][BF4]) was designed to stabilize the entire device fabrication process. The functional moieties of carbonyl (C=O), selenium (Se+), and tetrafluoroborate (BF4-) ions in the polymer effectively stabilized the lead polyhalide colloids and perovskite precursor inks. The poly[Se-MI][BF4] also suppressed the dissociation and migration of iodine (I-) in perovskite films with the help of anchored selenium ions and passivated defects by BF4-. High efficiencies of 25.10% and 20.85% were achieved by a 0.062-cm(2) device and 15.39-cm(2) module, respectively, with over 90% retention of initial efficiency after 2200 hours of operation.
