Abstract
- Hexane-1,6-diammonium pentaiodobismuth (HDA-BiI<subscript>5</subscript>) is one of the narrowest bandgap molecular semiconductor reported in recent years. Through the study of its energy band structure, it can be identified as an N-type semiconductor and is able to absorb most of the visible light, making it suitable to fabricate solar cells. In this paper, SnO<subscript>2</subscript> was used as an electron transport layer in HDA-BiI<subscript>5</subscript>-based solar cells, for its higher carrier mobility compared with TiO<subscript>2</subscript>, which is the electron transport layer used in previous researches. In addition, the dilution ratio of SnO<subscript>2</subscript> solution has an effect on both the morphology and photophysical properties of HDA-BiI<subscript>5</subscript> films. At the dilution ratio of SnO<subscript>2</subscript>:H<subscript>2</subscript>O = 3:8, the HDA-BiI<subscript>5</subscript> film has a better morphology and is less defect inside, and the corresponding device exhibited the best photovoltaic performance.
