So far, it is still a great challenge to prepare high efficiency organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells in ambient air. Specifically, moisture is easily combined with the perovskite material during the spin-coating process, which result in porous perovskite films with poor surface morphology. In this study, we investigated crystalline Ag-doped perovskite films by a one-step spin-coating method in air with 30–40% relative humidity (RH), in which ethyl acetate (EA) was used as antisolvent can absorb moisture in air to reduced nucleation density. More significantly, EA is a feasible and environmentally friendly solvent to replace highly toxic solvent. Moreover, 1.0% Ag-doped device shows a highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.36%. The improved performance is not only ascribed to the superior CH3NH3PbI3 film with high crystallinity but to the versatile tunability of energy band structure.

Aluminum acetylacetonate-based AlOx thin films were introduced as a low-cost, high-quality passivation layers for crystalline silicon solar cells. Films were formed by a spin coating method on p-type silicon substrates at 450°C in ambient air, O2, or water vapor (H2O/O2) for 15 or 120 min. XPS analysis confirms the AlOx formation and reveals a high intensity of interfacial SiOx at the AlOx/Si interface of processed wafers. Ambient H2O/O2 was found to be more beneficial for the activation of introduced AlOx passivation films which offers high lifetime improvements with a low thermal budget. Carrier lifetime measurements provides that symmetrically coated wafers reach 119.3 μs and 248.3 μs after annealing in ambient H2O/O2 for 15 min and 120 min, respectively.

In this research, inverted bulk heterojunction organic solar cells (BHJ OSC) with poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl): (6,6)-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl (P3HT:PCBM) as the active layer were fabricated by a sol-gel spin coating method using flexible PET and non-flexible glass as substrates. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) and the stability of the cells were investigated. According to the results, the non-flexible device showed higher short circuit current (Jsc) as well as open-circuit voltage (Voc) as compared to the flexible one so that 2.52% and 0.67% PCE for non-flexible and flexible cells were obtained, respectively. From the stability point of view, the non-flexible device maintained 51% of its initial efficiency after six weeks in a dark atmosphere, while it was about 19% for the flexible cell after four weeks. The most important reason for the higher PCE with the higher stability in the non-flexible cell can be attributed to its higher shunt resistance (Rsh) and better interlayer connections at the electron collector side.
