Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have undergone rapid progress. However, unstable performance caused by sensitivity to environmental moisture and high temperature is a major impediment commercialization of PSCs. In the present work, low-temperature, glass-glass encapsulation technique using polyisobutylene (PIB) as barrier investigated on planar glass/FTO/TiO2/FAPbI3/PTAA/gold cells. PIB was applied either an edge seal or blanket layer. Electrical connections encapsulated PSCs were...

Monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells promise power-conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding the Shockley-Queisser limit of single-junction cells. The conformal deposition perovskites on industrially feasible textured silicon allows for both lowered manufacturing costs and a higher matched photocurrent density, compared to state-of-the-art tandems using front-side flat or mildly silicon. However, inferior crystal quality perovskite films grown fully-textured compromises...

Abstract Wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells hold tremendous potential for realizing efficient tandem cells. However, nonradiative recombination and carrier transport losses occurring at the perovskite/electron‐selective contact (e.g. C 60 ) interface present significant obstacles in approaching their theoretical efficiency limit. To address this, a sequential engineering (SIE) strategy that involves deposition of ethylenediamine diiodide (EDAI 2 followed by 4‐Fluoro‐Phenethylammonium...

Abstract Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells hold great promise for realizing high power conversion efficiency at low cost. However, achieving scalable fabrication of wide-bandgap perovskite (~1.68 eV) in air, without the protective environment an inert atmosphere, remains challenging due to moisture-induced degradation films. Herein, this study reveals that extent moisture interference is significantly influenced by properties solvent. We further demonstrate n-Butanol (nBA), with its...
