Potassium-doped organometal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) of more than 20% power conversion efficiency (PCE) without I-V hysteresis were constructed. The crystal lattice the was expanded with increasing potassium ratio, where both absorption and photoluminescence spectra shifted to longer wavelength, suggesting that optical band gap decreased. In case 5% K+, conduction minimum (CBM) became similar CBM level TiO2-Li. this situation, electron transfer barrier at interface between...

AgBiS2 nanocrystals (NCs) are nontoxic, lead-free, and near-infrared absorbing materials. Eco-friendly solar cells were constructed using interdigitated layers of ZnO nanowires (NWs) NCs, with the aim elongating otherwise short carrier diffusion length NC assembly. NCs uniformly infiltrated into NW a low-cost easily scalable dip coating method. The resulting NW/AgBiS2 structures provided efficient pathways in nanowire (NWSCs), composed transparent electrode/ZnO layer/P3HT hole transport...

Abstract Here efficient organic photovoltaic devices fabricated from water‐based colloidal dispersions with donor:acceptor composite nanoparticles achieving up to 9.98% power conversion efficiency (PCE) are reported. This high for water processed solar cells is attributed morphology control by surface energy matching between the donor and acceptor materials. Indeed, due a low interfacial acceptor, no large phase separation occurs during nanoparticle formation process as well upon thermal...

Perovskite solar cells are one of the most actively studied next-generation cells. This is mainly because high power conversion efficiencies can be achieved even with simple solution-based fabrication processes. In addition, wide bandgap perovskite used as top sub-cells in multi-junction due to their easily tunable properties. On other hand, colloidal quantum dots (CQDs), whose band gap depends on dot size, few options that compatible solution processes and employed lower sub-cells. Here, we...

Four solvents from the glycol ether (GE) family were evaluated as safer alternatives to highly toxic 2-methoxyethanol (2ME) used for fabrication of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). A self-quenching process by spin-coating acetonitrile (ACN)-based ink 7 s was developed. The influence ACN:GE ratio on coverage layers and cell efficiency investigated find that with 8:1 four studied here can produce PSCs an similar 2ME therefore be a replacement latter.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted attention as one of the next-generation cell. To enhance power conversion efficiency (PCE) PSCs, a great deal research has been conducted so far, mainly in field material development.

The carrier transport properties of solar cells fabricated with colloidal AgBiS2 nanocrystals (NCs) are affected by the type ligands adsorbed on nanoparticle surface, coverage, and coordination state. We focus halide ions (F−, Cl−, Br−, I−) to passivate surface NCs investigate their adsorption behavior using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in this study. strength was a useful figure merit that could explain correlation between ligand cell performance.
