Dopants, Isotope, Pressure and Lead Sequestration for Hybrid Perovskite Materials
Dopants, Isotope, Pressure and Lead Sequestration for Hybrid Perovskite Materials The soaring power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solution process-based organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites solar cells (PSCs) assures their membership in the competitive photovoltaic technologies. However, stability, toxicity and scalability are the three grand challenges that still impedes the market adoption of PSCs. Careful fundamental studies on how their fascinating optoelectronic properties is related to their structures may provide leads to these challenges and also spin off new applications. In this talk, I will present our recent study on the dopants, isotope and pressure effects on hybrid perovskite materials (HPMs). We discovered an interesting bipolar electron injection in LiCl-doped MAPbI3-based UV detectors that respond to the energy of UV photons in distinguished photocurrents polarity. We also investigated how the underline interaction between the mass of the cationic rotors and the inorganic lattice in HPMs by isotope effect. In-situ synchrotron X-ray and time-resolved photoluminescence revealed abnormal optoelectronic properties of HPMs by modulating their bond angles and bond lengths using high pressure techniques. Moreover, I will also discuss our new technology to sequestrate lead leakage on perovskite solar cells that can absorb >99% leaked Pb ions under severe device damge while without sacrificing the PCE under normal operational conditions.
