Organometal halide perovskite materials have shown high potential as light absorbers for photovoltaic applications. In this work, perovskite planar solar cells were fabricated on corning substrates with the structure as follows: the first layer made of tantalum-doped tin oxide as transparent contact material, followed by sputtering niobium-doped titanium oxide as the compact electron transport layer; covered with perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 as the light harvester by combination between spin-coating and dipping methods; CuSCN was evaporated as the hole transport layer; the final thin Al/Ag electrodes were deposited. This configuration is shortly described as Al/TTO/NTO/CH3NH3PbI3/CuSCN/Ag. Such heterojunctions are expected to be suitable for the development of efficient hybrid solar cells. The fabricated cells were measured under the air mass 1.5 illumination condition, showed the rectification effect and exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 0.007%, with a open circuit voltage of 53.2 mV, a short circuit current of 0.36 mA/cm2, and a form factor of 37%. The power conversion efficiency will be further optimized in near future.

Widespread Application

Abstract State-of-art perovskite solar cells exhibit comparable power conversion efficiency to silicon photovoltaics. However, the device stability remains a major obstacle that restricts widespread application. Doping hole transport layer induced hygroscopicity, ion diffusion, and use of polar solvent are detrimental factors for performance degradation of perovskite solar cells. Here, we report phase transfer catalyzed LiTFSI doping in Spiro-OMeTAD to address these negative impacts. 12-crown-4 as an efficient phase transfer catalyst promotes the dissolution of LiTFSI without requiring acetonitrile. Crowning Li+ ions by forming more stable and less diffusive crown ether-Li+ complexes retards the generation of hygroscopic lithium oxides and mitigates Li+ ion migration. Optimized solar cells deliver enhanced power conversion efficiency and significantly improved stability under humid and thermal conditions compared with the control device. This method can also be applied to dope π-conjugated polymer. Our findings provide a facile avenue to improve the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells.
