Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Renewable Energy
  • Photovoltaics

Background:

  • Formamidinium lead iodide perovskites offer high power conversion efficiency (PCE) potential due to low open circuit voltage deficits.
  • Low bandgap perovskites typically struggle with achieving high average visible transmittance (AVT) in semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs).
  • High light utilization efficiency (LUE) in ST-PSCs requires thin perovskite layers (<100 nm), transparent conductive oxide rear electrodes, and minimized reflectance losses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate efficient, low bandgap semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs) with high average visible transmittance (AVT) and light utilization efficiency (LUE).
  • To optimize device reflectance through perovskite layer thickness and rear electrode stack tuning.
  • To assess the operational stability of the developed ST-PSCs.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of fully vacuum-deposited, low bandgap (≈1.55 eV, ≈100 nm thick) semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs).
  • Modulation of device reflectance by tuning perovskite layer thickness and rear electrode stack.
  • Thermal stress testing at 85°C in N2 atmosphere to evaluate device stability.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a high light utilization efficiency (LUE) of 4.2 with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 9.26% and average visible transmittance (AVT) of 45.3%.
  • Demonstrated a high color rendering index of 82.4 and AVT of ≈48.5% by optimizing reflectance.
  • The semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs) retained over 90% of their initial efficiency after 1000 hours of thermal stress.

Conclusions:

  • Thin-film, low bandgap semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs) can achieve high light utilization efficiency (LUE) and power conversion efficiency (PCE).
  • Device reflectance engineering is crucial for enhancing AVT and color rendering in ST-PSCs.
  • The developed ST-PSCs exhibit excellent operational stability, retaining efficiency under thermal stress.
