Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Renewable Energy
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) show great potential but face challenges in large-area module fabrication and commercial competitiveness.
  • Scaling up PSCs requires overcoming obstacles like resistive losses, intrinsic defects in electron transport layers, and achieving high-quality large-area films.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a facile method for synthesizing single-crystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles with specific facets for improved PSC performance.
  • To address the challenges of scaling PSCs from small devices to large-area modules while maintaining high efficiency and stability.

Main Methods:

  • A facile solvothermal method was employed to synthesize single-crystalline TiO2 rhombohedral nanoparticles with exposed (001) facets.
  • These nanoparticles were integrated into perovskite solar cells and large-area modules to evaluate their performance and stability.

Main Results:

  • Small-size PSC devices utilizing the synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles achieved a power conversion efficiency of 24.05% and a fill factor of 84.7%.
  • The devices demonstrated excellent stability, retaining approximately 90% of their initial performance after 1,400 hours of continuous operation.
  • Large-area modules (nearly 24 cm^2) achieved a certified efficiency of 22.72%, showcasing the lowest efficiency loss during scale-up.

Conclusions:

  • Single-crystalline TiO2 nanoparticles with exposed (001) facets offer significant advantages for PSCs due to low lattice mismatch, high affinity, high electron mobility, and reduced defects.
  • The developed method enables the fabrication of highly efficient and stable perovskite solar modules, paving the way for commercial competitiveness in the thin-film solar cell market.
