Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Renewable Energy
  • Photovoltaics

Background:

  • Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) require high efficiency, longevity, and scalability for practical use.
  • Current fabrication methods face challenges in achieving large-area, high-performance devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a green solution-bathing strategy for fabricating high-performance, large-area perovskite solar cells.
  • To improve perovskite film quality, including grain size, crystallinity, and defect density.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a green solution-bathing process with 2-pentanol as the solvent and formamidinium chloride (FACl) as the solute.
  • Investigated the impact of this method on perovskite film morphology and crystal structure.
  • Fabricated small-area (0.103 cm²) and large-area (1.00 cm²) PSCs.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.03% for small cells and over 18% for large cells.
  • Demonstrated improved perovskite film characteristics: enlarged grain sizes, enhanced crystallinity, and reduced defect density.
  • Successfully prepared a large-scale perovskite film (5 cm × 5 cm) with a mirror-like finish.

Conclusions:

  • The green solution-bathing process offers a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional methods for PSC fabrication.
  • This approach facilitates the up-scaling of PSCs, promoting their commercial viability.
  • The method enhances device performance and film quality, crucial for next-generation solar technologies.
