Quasi-2D perovskites are attractive because of their improved stability compared to 3D counterparts, but they suffer from reduced performance. Here we report an efficient quasi-2D perovskite (PEA)2(MA)4Pb5I16-based optoelectronic device processed with NH4SCN and NH4Cl additives, showing a stabilized photovoltaic power conversion efficiency as high 14.1% (average value 12.9 ± 0.8%), which is among the highest-performing solar cells. These additives increase crystallinity induce preferred...

p-Type metal-oxide hole transport layer (HTL) suppresses recombination at the anode and hence improves organic photovoltaic (OPV) device performance. While NiOx has been shown to exhibit good HTL performance, very thin films (<10 nm) are needed due its poor conductivity high absorption. To overcome these limitations, we utilize CuGaO2, a p-type transparent conducting oxide, as for OPV devices. Pure delafossite phase CuGaO2 nanoplates synthesized via microwave-assisted hydrothermal reaction...

Bimolecular recombination is often a major photogenerated charge carrier loss mechanism in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, resulting lower fill factor (FF) compared to inorganic devices. The parameter α can be obtained from the power law fitting of short-circuit current (Jsc) on illumination intensity (I), Jsc∝Iα, with values less than unity taken as an indication reduced photon-to-electron extraction efficiency and presence bimolecular OPV.
