The precursor of solution-processed perovskite thin films is one the most central components for high-efficiency solar cells. We first present crucial colloidal chemistry visualization solution based on analytical spectra and reveal that solutions cells are generally dispersions in a mother solution, with size up to mesoscale, rather than real solutions. colloid made soft coordination complex form lead polyhalide framework between organic inorganic can be structurally tuned by degree,...

A planar perovskite solar cell that incorporates a nanocarbon hole-extraction layer is demonstrated for the first time by an inkjet printing technique with precisely controlled pattern and interface. By designing carbon plus CH3NH3I ink to transform PbI2 in situ CH3NH3PbI3, interpenetrating seamless interface between CH3NH3PbI3 active electrode was instantly constructed, markedly reduced charge recombination compared alone. As result, considerably higher power conversion efficiency up 11.60%...

Carbon‐based hole transport material (HTM)‐free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown much promise for practical applications because of their high stability and low cost. However, the efficiencies this kind PSCs are still relatively low, especially simplest paintable carbon‐based PSCs, in comparison with organic HTM‐based PSCs. This can be imputed to deposition methods that not very suitable devices. A solvent engineering strategy based on two‐step sequential method is exploited prepare...

Compared to the conventional perovskite solar cells (PSCs) containing hole-transport materials (HTM), carbon based HTM-free PSCs (C-PSCs) have often suffered from inferior power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) arising at least partially inefficient hole extraction perovskite–carbon interface.

Understanding the function of moisture on perovskite is challenging since random environmental strongly disturbs structure. Here, we develop various N2-protected characterization techniques to comprehensively study effect efficient cesium, methylammonium, and formamidinium triple-cation (Cs0.05FA0.75MA0.20)Pb(I0.96Br0.04)3. In contrast secondary measurements, established air-exposure-free allow us directly monitor influence during crystallization. We find a controllable treatment for...

Recently, surface passivation has been proved to be an essential approach for obtaining efficient and stable perovskite light-emitting diodes (Pero-LEDs). Phosphine oxides performed well as passivators in many reports. However, the most commonly used phosphine are insulators, which may inhibit carrier transport between emitter charge-transporter layers, limiting corresponding device performance. Here, 2,7-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (SPPO13), a conductive molecule with two...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated over 25% power conversion efficiency (PCE) via efficient surface passivation. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art perovskite post-treatment strategies can solely heal the top interface defects.

Constructing 2D/3D perovskite heterojunctions is effective for the surface passivation of solar cells (PSCs). However, previous reports that studying post-treatment only physically deposits 2D on 3D perovskite, and bulk remains defective. Herein, we propose Cl2-dissolved chloroform as a multifunctional solvent concurrently constructing heterojunction inducing secondary growth grains. The mechanism how Cl2 affects performance PSCs clarified. Specifically, dissolved reacts with leading to Cl/I...
