Abstract
All-inorganic triiodide cesium lead (CsPbI3) exhibits huge potential in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the high-temperature crystallization process (≈340 or 180 °C) limits their further development, especially in flexible PSCs. Here, a Cs─I bond weakening approach is proposed to realize the low-temperature crystallization of CsPbI3 by introducing organic sulfonate of 1-propylsulfonate-3-methylimidazolium chloride (SMCl). SMCl can strongly interact with CsI and weaken the Cs─I bond to dissociate free I− ions for the effective transition of initial PbI2 to [PbI6]4−, which greatly decreases the crystallization temperature of black CsPbI3 to 90 °C. As a result, flexible PSCs are realized with efficiency of 13.86%, which is the highest efficiency of flexible CsPbI3 devices. Besides, SMCl will also help to release the tensile strain and stabilize CsPbI3 phase, leading to good thermal and mechanical stability. Almost no efficiency loss is observed in flexible PSCs after 36000 bending cycles with a curvature radius of 5 mm.
期刊介绍:
ACS Sensors is a peer-reviewed research journal that focuses on the dissemination of new and original knowledge in the field of sensor science, particularly those that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to biosensors, chemical sensors, gas sensors, intracellular sensors, single molecule sensors, cell chips, and microfluidic devices. It aims to publish articles that address conceptual advances in sensing technology applicable to various types of analytes or application papers that report on the use of existing sensing concepts in new ways or for new analytes.
