P-N junction01:11

P-N junction

A p-n junction is formed when p-type and n-type semiconductor materials are joined together. At the interface of the p-n junction, holes from the p-side and electrons from the n-side begin to diffuse into the opposite sides due to the concentration gradient. This diffusion of carriers leads to a region around the junction where there are no free charge carriers, known as the depletion region. The charge density within the depletion region for the n-side and p-side can be described by the...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Renewable Energy
  • Photovoltaics

Background:

  • Fabricating all-perovskite tandem solar cells into modules presents challenges, including achieving high-quality wide-bandgap perovskites and preventing degradation from ion diffusion at contacts.
  • Current methods often result in single-junction configurations rather than efficient tandem modules.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate efficient and stable all-perovskite tandem solar modules using scalable fabrication methods.
  • To address degradation issues caused by interdiffusion at interconnecting contacts in tandem solar cells.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic tuning of cesium ratio in a methylammonium-free 1.8-electron volt mixed-halide perovskite to enhance film crystallization over large areas via blade coating.
  • Introduction of a conductive conformal diffusion barrier between subcells to prevent halide and metal interdiffusion.

Main Results:

  • Improved crystallization homogeneity for large-area blade-coated perovskite films.
  • Achieved a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.7% for tandem modules with a 20 cm² aperture area.
  • Demonstrated enhanced stability, retaining 75% of initial efficiency after 500 hours of continuous simulated 1-sun illumination.

Conclusions:

  • Scalable fabrication techniques, including cesium ratio tuning and a diffusion barrier, enable efficient all-perovskite tandem solar modules.
  • The developed diffusion barrier effectively mitigates degradation, leading to improved PCE and operational stability.
  • These findings pave the way for practical, high-performance all-perovskite tandem solar modules.
