As a result of the much longer diffusion length achieved via Cs + addition, the modules replicate almost all of the photovoltaic parameters of the small devices and in particular the FF. As a result, a PCE of 21.08% was achieved. This is one of the highest PCE ever reported for perovskite modules to the best of our knowledge.
Fu et al. introduced formamidine acetate into the perovskite precursor solution, the film defects were significantly reduced and the optimized perovskite solar cell achieved the maximum PCE of 21.9% at a wide open-circuit voltage ( VOC) of 1.19 V ( Fu et al., 2018 ).
The CsAc-doped perovskite solar cells were thus fabricated. Since the introduction of CsAc into perovskite is conducive to the formation of high-quality films, the PbI 2 precursor without CsAc is named the pristine films, and the one treated by CsAc is named the CsAc-doped films. Fig. 1.
In addition, Cs+ can make up for the vacancy of FA +, reduce the defect and obtain a more stable perovskite structure, and carbonyl groups of acetate can bond with uncoordinated Pb2+ to improve the performance of the devices. Therefore, a champion PCE of 22.01% is achieved with a prominent stability improvement. 2. Experimental section 2.1.
To promote the crystallization of the perovskite, CsFa is introduced as the Cs precursor in the first-step. Since the HCOO·Pb+ and HCOOH·Cs+ complex formation and HCOOH volatilization occurs during the crystallization process, the perovskite nucleation formation rate is retarded and the crystal growth of the perovskite is enhanced.
However, for the w/o based module, all the photovoltaic parameters have shown varying degrees of decline compared with small devices. Therefore, Cs + doping and similar strategies could play an important role in the commercialization of perovskite solar cells in the future. 3. Conclusions
