Abstract
Narrow-bandgap (NBG) perovskite solar cells based on tin-lead mixed perovskite absorbers suffer from significant open-circuit voltage (VOC) losses due primarily to a high defect density and charge carrier recombination at the device interfaces. In this study, the VOC losses in NBG perovskite single junction cells (Eg = 1.21 eV) are addressed. The optimized NBG subcell is then used to fabricate highly efficient all-perovskite tandem solar cells (TSCs). The improvement in the VOC is achieved via the addition of a thin poly(triarylamine) interlayer between the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-based hole transport layer (HTL) and the NBG perovskite. The optimal bilayer HTL results in a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.3%, compared to 17.8% of the PEDOT:PSS-based control device. The VOC improvement of the single-junction NBG cell is also successfully transferred to all-perovskite TSC, resulting in a high VOC of 2.00 V and a PCE of 25.1%.
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.
