AbstractIn this work, inorganic tin-doped perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are incorporated into carbon-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to improve their photovoltaic performance. On the one hand, by controlling the content of Sn2+ doping, the energy level of the tin-doped PQDs can be adjusted, to realize optimized band alignment and enhanced separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. On the other hand, the incorporation of tin-doped PQDs provided with a relatively high acceptor concentration due to the self-p-type doping effect is able to reduce the width of the depletion region near the back surface of the perovskite, thereby enhancing the hole extraction. Particularly, after the addition of CsSn0.2Pb0.8I3 quantum dots (QDs), improvement of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 12.80 to 14.22% can be obtained, in comparison with the pristine device. Moreover, the experimental results are analyzed through the simulation of the one-dimensional perovskite/tin-doped PQDs heterojunction.

Sensitized Solar Cells

Cu2GeSe3 quantum dot is introduced to instead of non-toxic CuInSe2 as a sensitizer for solar cells, which is employed to enhance the photovoltaic performance. Cu2GeSe3 quantum dots with various sizes are prepared by thermolysis process, which are employed for the fabrication of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSC) according to assembly linking process. The optical absorption properties of the Cu2GeSe3 quantum dot-sensitized photo-electrodes have been obviously enhanced by the size optimization of quantum dots, which are better than that of CuInSe2-based photo-electrodes. Due to the balance on the deposition quantity and charge transfer property of the quantum dots, 3.9[Formula: see text]nm-sized Cu2GeSe3 QDSSC exhibits the highest current density value and incident photon conversion efficiency response, which result in a higher photovoltaic conversion efficiency than that of CuInSe2 QDSSC. The modulation of Cu2GeSe3 QDs will further improve the performance of photovoltaic devices.
