This study demonstrates that using a fluoride single crystal like BaF2:Yb3+, Er3+ for UC is an effective method to extend the response of perovskite solar cells to near-infrared illumination at 980 nm, resulting in enhanced current at very high incident intensities. Upconverted photons contribute to an increase in short-circuit current density, with a non-linear relationship with the incident intensity of sub-bandgap illumination.
Lanthanide-based upconversion (UC) allows harvesting subbandgap near-infrared photons in photovoltaics. In this work, we investigate UC in perovskite solar cells by implementing UC single crystal BaF2:Yb3+, Er3+ at the rear of the solar cell. Upon illumination with high-intensity sub-bandgap photons at 980 nm, the BaF2:Yb3+, Er3+ crystal emits upconverted photons in the spectral range between 520 and 700 nm. When tested under terrestrial sunlight representing one sun above the perovskite's bandgap and sub-bandgap illumination at 980 nm, upconverted photons contribute a 0.38 mA/cm(2) enhancement in the short-circuit current density at lower intensity. The current enhancement scales non-linearly with the incident intensity of subbandgap illumination, and at higher intensity, 2.09 mA/cm(2) enhancement in current was observed. Hence, our study shows that using a fluoride single crystal like BaF2:Yb3+, Er3+ for UC is a suitable method to extend the response of perovskite solar cells to near-infrared illumination at 980 nm with a subsequent enhancement in current for very high incident intensity.
