What is the interface engineering strategy for inverted perovskite solar cells?

Conclusion In summary, we have developed an interface engineering strategy for inverted perovskite solar cells using the aluminum alkoxide coupling agent AL18 to improve device performance and stability. AL18 functions as a 'molecular bridge' by chemically bonding to the NiO x film surface, creating a dense self-assembled layer.

Can perovskite solar cells be commercialized?

The primary challenge in commercializing perovskite solar cells stems from the fragile and moisture-sensitive nature of perovskite materials. Here, authors propose a multi-functional asynchronous cross-linking strategy and achieve high-performance and stable devices with mere 0.30 voltage deficit.

Why is all-around protection important for PSC solar cells?

This strategy is generally applicable with enhanced efficiencies approaching 26%. All-around protection significantly improves PSC’s operational longevity and thermal endurance. The primary challenge in commercializing perovskite solar cells stems from the fragile and moisture-sensitive nature of perovskite materials.

How are low-cost solar cells designed?

Solar cells are typically designed with specific objectives, such as reliability, affordability, efficiency, and stability. To predict the structure of low-cost solar cells, research is ongoing to gather and analyze data from previous solar cell fabrication experiments in real-world environments.

Can encapsulation strategies be used to commercialize perovskite solar cells?

Ma, S. et al. Development of encapsulation strategies towards the commercialization of perovskite solar cells. Energy Environ. Sci. 15, 13–55 (2022). He, D. et al. Synergistically stabilizing hole transport layer and dual interface enables high-performance perovskite solar cells.

What does al18 do in a perovskite solar cell?

AL18 acts as a molecular "bridge," improving the interface between NiO x and the perovskite layer. Inverted perovskite solar cells with a 0.09 cm 2 active area modified by AL18 achieved a maximum PCE of 24.04%. A large-area perovskite solar cell module (14 cm 2) modified with AL18 reached a PCE of over 21.07%.
