While perovskite solar cells have invigorated the photovoltaic research community due to their excellent power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), these devices notably suffer from poor stability. To address this crucial issue, a solution-processable organic chemical inhibition layer (OCIL) was integrated into perovskite solar cells, resulting in improved device stability and a maximum PCE of 16.3%. Photoenhanced self-doping of the fulleropyrrolidine mixture in the interlayers afforded devices that were advantageously insensitive to OCIL thickness, ranging from 4 to 190 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the fulleropyrrolidine mixture improved device stability by stabilizing the metal electrode and trapping ionic defects (i.e., I) that originate from the perovskite active layer. Moreover, degraded devices were rejuvenated by repeatedly peeling away and replacing the OCIL/Ag electrode, and this repeel and replace process resulted in further improvement to device stability with minimal variation of device efficiency.
尽管钙钛矿太阳能电池因其出色的功率转换效率(PCE)为光伏研究领域注入了活力,但这些器件明显存在稳定性差的问题。为了解决这一关键问题,一种可溶液加工的有机化学抑制层(OCIL)被集成到钙钛矿太阳能电池中,从而提高了器件的稳定性,并实现了16.3%的最大功率转换效率。中间层中富勒吡咯烷混合物的光增强自掺杂使得器件对4至190纳米范围内的OCIL厚度具有有利的不敏感性。X射线光电子能谱(XPS)表明,富勒吡咯烷混合物通过稳定金属电极并捕获源自钙钛矿活性层的离子缺陷(即碘离子)来提高器件的稳定性。此外,通过反复剥离和更换OCIL/Ag电极,降解的器件得以恢复活力,这种剥离和更换过程进一步提高了器件的稳定性,同时器件效率的变化最小。
