Abstract
The burgeoning field of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has achieved significant advancements, rivaling traditional photovoltaic technologies. However, efficient, and stable charge collection remains a critical hurdle for commercial deployment. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of various charge collection materials and their implications in perovskite photovoltaics. We assess state-of-the-art materials like indium tin oxide (ITO), conductive polymer, metal-based thin film, carbon-based alternatives, and more, exploring their optical properties, mechanical flexibility, electrical conductivity, and associated fabrication costs. While ITO remains the most commonly used due to its high transparency and conductivity, its scarcity and high-cost limit its scalability. Metal-based electrodes offer excellent conductivity and are emerging as leaders in applications requiring mechanical flexibility, but their permeation and interaction within perovskites need to be overcome. Carbon- and polymer-based materials offer stability and low cost but often suffer from lower conductivity. Each material class presents its own set of challenges, which must be addressed for real-world applications. This review also delves into innovative solutions, aiming to overcome these challenges, concluding by discussing the future potential and the key areas of research to realize durable, efficient, and cost-effective perovskite photovoltaics.
蓬勃发展的过氧化物太阳能电池(PSCs)领域已取得重大进展,可与传统光伏技术相媲美。然而,高效稳定的电荷收集仍然是商业化应用的关键障碍。本综述旨在全面概述各种电荷收集材料及其对包晶石光伏技术的影响。我们评估了氧化铟锡(ITO)、导电聚合物、金属薄膜、碳基替代材料等最先进的材料,探讨了它们的光学特性、机械灵活性、导电性以及相关的制造成本。虽然 ITO 因其高透明度和导电性仍是最常用的材料,但其稀缺性和高成本限制了其可扩展性。金属基电极具有出色的导电性,在需要机械灵活性的应用中正在崭露头角,但需要克服它们在包光体中的渗透和相互作用问题。碳基和聚合物基材料具有稳定性和低成本的特点,但通常导电率较低。每一类材料都提出了自己的一系列挑战,在实际应用中必须加以解决。本综述还深入探讨了旨在克服这些挑战的创新解决方案,最后讨论了实现持久、高效、经济的过氧化物光伏技术的未来潜力和关键研究领域。
