Despite the promising properties of tin-based halide perovskites, one clear limitation is fast Sn+2 oxidation. Consequently, preparation long-lasting devices remains challenging. Here, we report a chemical engineering approach, based on adding Dipropylammonium iodide (DipI) together with well-known reducing agent, sodium borohydride (NaBH4), aimed at preventing premature degradation Sn-HPs. This strategy allows for obtaining efficiencies (PCE) above 10% enhanced stability. The initial PCE...

Abstract Small‐perturbation techniques such as impedance spectroscopy (IS), intensity‐modulated photocurrent (IMPS), and photovoltage (IMVS) are useful tools to characterize model photovoltaic photoelectrochemical devices. While the analysis of spectra is generally carried out using an equivalent circuit, spectroscopies often analyzed through measured characteristic response times. This makes correlation between two methods unclear. In this work, by taking into consideration absorptance...

Research on metal halide perovskites as absorbers for X-ray detection is an attractive subject due to the optimal optoelectronic properties of these materials high-sensitivity applications. However, contact degradation and long-term instability current limit performance devices, in close causality with dual electronic-ionic conductivity perovskites. Herein, millimeter-thick methylammonium-lead bromide (MAPbBr3) single polycrystalline samples are approached by characterizing their dark...

The migration of mobile ions through the metal halide perovskite layer is still one main reasons for poor stability solar cells, LEDs, and photodetectors. To characterize in layer, time- frequency-based electrical measurements are promising techniques. However, presence transport layers complicates their interpretation, limiting information about that can be extracted, it not clear how different features frequency- time-domain relate to ions.

In this work, we identify the importance of C60 and compact-TiO2 (cTiO2) as electron transport layers on device performance coevaporated n–i–p perovskite solar cells. We found (1) a synergetic effect between both when extracting charges (2) that optimization layer is essential for obtaining devices with enhanced performance. particular, an optimum thickness (<15 nm) enhances charge extraction employed in cell. With thicker (>20 nm), additional resistance observed by impedance analysis,...
