P-N junction01:11

P-N junction

600
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
  • Photovoltaics
  • Solid-State Chemistry

Background:

  • High-performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs) require high-quality perovskite light absorbers and stable organic hole extraction layers.
  • Existing PSCs face challenges with stability under operational stress, including illumination, heat, and moisture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To improve the performance and operational stability of mixed-cation perovskite solar cells.
  • To introduce novel materials for grain boundary modulation and hole transport layers in PSCs.

Main Methods:

  • Incorporation of a phosphonic acid-functionalized fullerene derivative as a grain boundary modulator in mixed-cation perovskites.
  • Development and application of a redox-active radical polymer, poly(oxoammonium salt), as a hole-transporting material and ion diffusion barrier.
  • Fabrication and characterization of perovskite solar cells and minimodules.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.5% for 1-square-centimeter mixed-cation-anion PSCs.
  • Demonstrated a PCE of 21.4% for 17.1-square-centimeter minimodules.
  • The developed PSCs retained 95.5% of their initial efficiency after 3265 hours of continuous 1-sun illumination at 70°C.

Conclusions:

  • The phosphonic acid-functionalized fullerene derivative effectively consolidates the perovskite crystal structure, enhancing film tolerance.
  • The poly(oxoammonium salt) facilitates p-doping and mitigates lithium ion diffusion, improving device stability.
  • The study presents a viable strategy for creating highly efficient and durable perovskite solar cells for practical applications.
