Abstract
Carbon-based hole-conductor-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) exhibit promising potential on the road to commercialization for their low-cost production, scalable fabrication, and superior stability. However, the insufficient back interface contact between the carbon counter electrode (CE) and the perovskite is an urgent issue that hinders device performance. Herein, we report the preparation and application of defect-rich boron-doped graphite (BG) as the main CE medium for efficient printable mesoscopic PSCs (p-MPSCs). Boron doping induces the formation of abundant defective sites, including dangling bonds and oxygen-containing groups, onto the surface of graphite. These sites activate the inert surface and improve the surface affinity of CE with the perovskite. p-MPSCs based on BG achieve a firm interfacial contact, which improves the power conversion efficiency from 17.94% to 19.43% by enhancing charge collection.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
