Anion/cation vacancies located at different interfaces in perovskite solar cells may modify the electronic energy landscape, hampering charge extraction, and presumably contributing to the observed J–V hysteresis.

This work reports on a compositionally graded heterojunction for photovoltaic application by cooperating fluorine-doped carbon quantum dots (FCQDs in short) into the CsPbI2.5Br0.5 inorganic perovskite layer. Using this CsPbI2.5Br0.5/FCQDs graded heterojunction in conjunction with low-temperature-processed carbon electrode, a power conversion efficiency of 13.53% for 1 cm2 all-inorganic perovskite solar cell can be achieved at AM 1.5G solar irradiation. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the highest efficiency reported for carbon electrode based all-inorganic perovskite solar cells so far, and the first report of 1 cm2 carbon counter electrode based inorganic perovskite solar cell with PCE exceeding 13%. Moreover, the inorganic perovskite/carbon quantum dot graded heterojunction photovoltaics maintained over 90% of their initial efficiency after thermal aging at 85° for 1056 hours. This conception of constructing inorganic perovskite/FCQDs graded heterojunction offers a feasible pathway to develop efficient and stable photovoltaics for scale-up and practical applications.

Perovskite solar cells have progressed very steadily, reaching power conversion efficiencies (PCE) beyond 20% while also improving their lifetimes up to 10,000 h. A large number of cell architecture and materials for active, transporting and electrode layers have been used, either in blends or in nanostructured layers. In this article, a set of perovskite solar cells have been designed, fabricated and characterized with special focus on their lifetime extension. The inclusion of 5-amino-valeric acid iodide (5–AVAI) as interlayer in a methyl-amino lead-iodide (MAPI) perovskite solar cell has provided additional stability in cells with PCE > 10% and T80 = 550 h. Experiments for up to 1000 h with solar cells at maximum power point under continuous illumination with solar simulator have been carried out (1 kW/m2, AM1.5G, equivalent to more than six months of outdoor illumination in locations such as Southeast Spain, with an average irradiation of 1900 kWh/m2/year). The addition of molecular additives in the bulk active layer and ETL and carbon layers not only allows better carrier transport, but also increases the stability of the perovskite solar cell by reducing ion migration within the bulk MAPI and between the different layers. Engineered interfaces with ZrO2 between the TiO2 and carbon layers contribute to reducing degradation.
