In this paper, Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) with different shell thicknesses were prepared experimentally and introduced into the photosensitive layer of mesoscopic hole-conductor-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on carbon counter electrodes. By combining simulation and experiments, the influences of different shell thickness Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles on the photoelectric properties of the PSCs were studied. The results show that, when the shell thickness of 0.1 wt% Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles is 5 nm, power conversion efficiency is improved from 13.13% to 15.25%, achieving a 16% enhancement. Through the measurement of the relevant parameters of the obtained perovskite film, we found that this gain not only comes from the increase in current density that scholars generally think, but also comes from the improvement of the film quality. Like current gain, this gain is related to the different shell thickness of Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles. Our research provides a new direction for studying the influence mechanism of Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles in perovskite solar cells.

AbstractThe charge selective layer is of significance for the fabrication of emerging photovoltaics, including perovskite-based solar cells. Molecular hole transport materials (HTMs) are being employed as charge transporters, owing to their synthetic molecular flexibility that allows the fine-tuning of their electro-optical properties. Typically, doping of HTMs is essential, but it is a trade-off between long-term durability and device performance. The energetic level of perylenediimides (PDIs) was altered by the position of the substituent. The substituent’s position influences the geometry of the PDI core, which can lose planarity, thus presenting a core twist angle between the two naphthalene subunits to find its application as hole-selective layers for fabrication. We have fabricated perovskite solar cells, with pristine PDI, and it gave a competitive performance. New design protocols for PDIs are required for aligned energetic levels, which will minimize recombination losses in solar cells, favoring a performance enhancement. Graphical abstract

Core Shell Nanoparticles

Au@Pt@Au core-shell nanoparticles, synthesized through chemical reduction, are utilized to improve the photoelectric performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in which carbon films are used as the counter electrode, and the hole-transporting layer is not used. After a series of experiments, these Au@Pt@Au core-shell nanoparticles are optimized and demonstrate outstanding optical and electrical properties due to their local surface plasmon resonance and scattering effects. PSC devices containing 1 wt.% Au@Pt@Au core-shell nanoparticles have the highest efficiency; this is attributable to their significant light trapping and utilization capabilities, which are the result of the distinctive structure of the nanoparticles. The power conversion efficiency of PSCs, with an optimal content of plasmonic nanoparticles (1 wt.%), increased 8.1%, compared to normal PSCs, which was from 12.4% to 13.4%; their short-circuit current density also increased by 5.4%, from 20.5 mA·cm−2 to 21.6 mA·cm−2. The open-circuit voltages remaining are essentially unchanged. When the number of Au@Pt@Au core-shell nanoparticles in the mesoporous TiO2 layer increases, the photovoltaic parameters of the former shows a downward trend due to the recombination of electrons and holes, as well as the decrease in electron transporting pathways.
