A major bottleneck delaying the further commercialization of thin-film solar cells based on hybrid organohalide lead perovskites is interface loss in state-of-the-art devices. We present a generic architecture that combines solution-processed, reliable, and cost-efficient hole-transporting materials without compromising efficiency, stability, or scalability perovskite cells. Tantalum-doped tungsten oxide (Ta-WO x )/conjugated polymer multilayers offer surprisingly small barrier form...
Abstract A major challenge for organic solar cell (OSC) research is how to minimize the tradeoff between voltage loss and charge generation. In early 2019, we reported a non-fullerene acceptor (named Y6) that can simultaneously achieve high external quantum efficiency low OSC. Here, use combination of experimental theoretical modeling reveal structure-property-performance relationships this state-of-the-art OSC system. We find distinctive π–π molecular packing Y6 not only exists in single...

Abstract A synergic interface design is demonstrated for photostable inorganic mixed‐halide perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) by applying an amino‐functionalized polymer (PN4N) as cathode interlayer and a dopant‐free hole‐transporting poly[5,5′‐bis(2‐butyloctyl)‐(2,2′‐bithiophene)‐4,4′‐dicarboxylate‐ alt ‐5,5′‐2,2′‐bithiophene] (PDCBT) anode interlayer. First, the interfacial dipole formed at reduces workfunction of SnO 2 , while PDCBT with deeper‐lying highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)...
The performance of organic solar cells is determined by the delicate, meticulously optimized bulk-heterojunction microstructure, which consists finely mixed and relatively separated donor/acceptor regions. Here we demonstrate an abnormal strong burn-in degradation in highly efficient polymer caused spinodal demixing donor acceptor phases, dramatically reduces charge generation can be attributed to inherently low miscibility both materials. Even though microstructure kinetically tuned for...
Advances in organic photovoltaic technologies have always been closely associated with a deeper understanding of bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) microstructure morphology, which is generally governed by the ink-formulation based on single solvent or mixtures.
Abstract All‐inorganic perovskite semiconductors have recently drawn increasing attention owing to their outstanding thermal stability. Although all‐inorganic solar cells (PSCs) achieved significant progress in recent years, they still fall behind prototype organic–inorganic counterparts severe energy losses. Therefore, there is considerable interest further improving the performance of PSCs by synergic optimization films and device interfaces. This review article provides an overview...

Importantly, it found that LT-NiO boosts the limits of open-circuit voltages toward an impressive non-radiative voltage loss 0.226 V only, whereasPSS suffers from significant large recombination losses.
Abstract Almost all highly efficient perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) with power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of greater than 22% currently contain the thermally unstable methylammonium (MA) molecule. MA‐free perovskites are an intrinsically more stable optoelectronic material for use in but compromise performance PVSCs relatively large energy loss. Here, open‐circuit voltage ( V oc ) deficit is circumvented by incorporation β‐guanidinopropionic acid (β‐GUA) molecules into bulk perovskite,...
