Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we use Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) particles to control the morphology of Formamidinium (FA)-rich perovskite films and achieve large grains with improved optoelectronic properties. Consequently, a planar perovskite solar cell (PSC) is fabricated with additions of 5 wt% of PEO, and the highest PCE of 18.03% was obtained. This solar cell is also shown to retain up to 80% of its initial PCE after about 140 h of storage under the ambient conditions (average relative humidity of 62.5 ± 3.25%) in an unencapsulated state. Furthermore, the steady-state PCE of the PEO-modified PSC device remained stable for long (over 2500 s) under continuous illumination. This addition of PEO particles is shown to enable the tuning of the optoelectronic properties of perovskite films, improvements in the overall photophysical properties of PSCs, and an increase in resistance to the degradation of PSCs.

Abstract

One route to a brighter global energy future may be through enhancing the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which depends on the level of defects in the photoactive absorber and along the interfaces of the multilayered structure. Here, we use a combined experimental and theoretical approach to study the effects of pressure-induced compaction of microvoids and closure of cracks on the power conversion efficiency (PCEs) and stability of formamidinium-rich PSCs. A range of mechanical pressures was applied to the PSCs to reduce pre-existing grain-boundary voids and interfacial cracks within the devices. The PCEs of the PSCs increased from ~19.5% to ~ 23.5% for applied pressures between ~ (0 – 7) MPa. Unlaminated device stability increased by 33%, falling to 80% of initial PCE in 1800 hrs without compression, as compared to 2400 hrs with compression. The implications of this study are discussed in light of possible future manufacturing processes.

Abstract

We investigate properties of reduced graphene oxide films in the THz frequency range. We demonstrate tuning their conductivity and THz attenuation by reduction as well as by intercalation of metals. These findings suggest that graphene oxide holds promise for electromagnetic interference shielding and other THz device applications.
