Molecular engineering of contact interfaces for high-performance perovskite solar cells

Furkan H. Isikgor et al.

Summary: Metal-oxide-based charge-transport layers are crucial for the development of perovskite solar cells, but the metal-oxide/perovskite interfaces often have defects that hinder charge transfer and cause non-radiative recombination. This review explores the challenges associated with these interfaces and proposes solutions using molecular engineering, such as self-assembled monolayers, to improve their performance and commercial viability.

Multifunctional Hybrid Interfacial Layers for High-Performance Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

Benfang Niu et al.

Summary: A simple and scalable interfacial strategy is reported to facilitate the assembly of high-performance inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and scale-up modules. This strategy improves the chemical stability, charge extraction, and energy level alignment of the hole-selective interface, while promoting perovskite crystallization. As a result, the corresponding inverted PSCs and modules achieve remarkable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 24.5% and 20.7% (aperture area of 19.4 cm(2)), respectively. This strategy is also effective for perovskite with various bandgaps, demonstrating the highest PCE of 19.6% for the 1.76-eV bandgap PSCs.

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.

Summary: Multijunction solar cells can surpass the efficiency limits of single-junction devices. Metal halide perovskite solar cells, in combination with silicon and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) or as all-perovskite tandems, have shown promising results. Narrow-gap non-fullerene acceptors have also significantly improved the efficiencies of organic solar cells. In this study, perovskite-organic tandem cells with high efficiency and voltage are demonstrated, utilizing optimized charge extraction layers and an ultrathin metal-like indium oxide layer for interconnection. This milestone work outperforms the best perovskite single junctions and is comparable to perovskite-CIGS and all-perovskite multijunctions.
