Abstract

We report on fabrication of 4-terminal all-perovskite tandem solar cells with power conversion efficiencies exceeding 23% by mechanically stacking semitransparent 1.75 eV wide-bandgap FA _0.8Cs _0.2Pb(I _0.7Br _0.3) ₃ perovskite top cells with 1.25 eV low-bandgap (FASnI ₃) _0.6(MAPbI ₃) _0.4 bottom cells. The top cells use MoOx/ITO transparent electrodes and achieve transmittance up to 70% beyond 700 nm.

Lead-free inverted planar formamidinium tin triiodide perovskite solar cells achieving power conversion efficiencies up to 6.22%

Journal Article Liao, Weiqiang ; Zhao, Dewei ; Yu, Yue ; ... - Advanced Materials

Efficient lead (Pb)-free inverted planar formamidinium tin triiodide (FASnI ₃) perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) are demonstrated. Our FASnI ₃ PVSCs achieved average power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 5.41% ± 0.46% and a maximum PCE of 6.22% under forward voltage scan. Here, the PVSCs exhibit small photocurrent–voltage hysteresis and high reproducibility. The champion cell shows a steady-state efficiency of ≈6.00% for over 100 s.

Efficient semitransparent perovskite solar cells for 23.0%-efficiency perovskite/silicon four-terminal tandem cells

Journal Article Chen, Bo ; Bai, Yang ; Yu, Zhengshan ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

Here, we have investigated semi-transparent perovskite solar cells and infrared enhanced silicon heterojunction cells for high-efficiency tandem devices. A semi-transparent metal electrode with good electrical conductivity and optical transparency has been fabricated by thermal evaporation of 7 nm of Au onto a 1-nm-thick Cu seed layer. For this electrode to reach its full potential, MAPbI3 thin films were formed by a modified one-step spin-coating method, resulting in a smooth layer that allowed the subsequent metal thin film to remain continuous. The fabricated semi-transparent perovskite solar cells demonstrated 16.5% efficiency under one-sun illumination, and were coupled with infrared-enhanced silicon heterojunction cellsmore »« less

Efficient two-terminal all-perovskite tandem solar cells enabled by high-quality low-bandgap absorber layers

Journal Article Zhao, Dewei ; Chen, Cong ; Wang, Changlei ; ... - Nature Energy

We report that multi-junction all-perovskite tandem solar cells are a promising choice for next-generation solar cells with high efficiency and low fabrication cost. However, the lack of high-quality low-bandgap perovskite absorber layers seriously hampers the development of efficient and stable two-terminal monolithic all-perovskite tandem solar cells. Here, we report a bulk-passivation strategy via incorporation of chlorine, to enlarge grains and reduce electronic disorder in mixed tin-lead low-bandgap (~1.25 eV) perovskite absorber layers. This enables the fabrication of efficient low-bandgap perovskite solar cells using thick absorber layers (~750 nm), which is a requisite for efficient tandem solar cells. Such improvement enablesmore »« less

Efficient Near-Infrared-Transparent Perovskite Solar Cells Enabling Direct Comparison of 4-Terminal and Monolithic Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Cells

Journal Article Werner, Jeremie ; Barraud, Loris ; Walter, Arnaud ; ... - ACS Energy Letters

Combining market-proven silicon solar cell technology with an efficient wide band gap top cell into a tandem device is an attractive approach to reduce the cost of photovoltaic systems. For this, perovskite solar cells are promising high-efficiency top cell candidates, but their typical device size (<0.2 cm ²), is still far from standard industrial sizes. Here, we present a 1 cm ² near-infrared transparent perovskite solar cell with 14.5% steadystate efficiency, as compared to 16.4% on 0.25 cm ². By mechanically stacking these cells with silicon heterojunction cells, we experimentally demonstrate a 4-terminal tandem measurement with a steady-state efficiency ofmore »« less
