Abstract
We used work-function-tuned poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as the electron-transport layer for wide-bandgap (1.74 eV) perovskite solar cells (PSCs). With the coating of polyethylenimine, the work function of PEDOT:PSS was modified from −5.03 to −4.05 eV, which enabled efficient electron transportation from perovskite absorber to cathode. With this technique, the standard-structured n-i-p PSCs showed an average power-conversion-efficiency (PCE) of 18.6 %, which is higher than that (17.5 %) of inverted PSCs with PEDOT:PSS as the hole-transport layer. Moreover, the long-term stability of the PSCs was enhanced with the PCE degradation significantly suppressed from 29.7 % to 15.6 % after a 10 days’ measurement in ambient.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics publishes experimental and theoretical papers on all aspects of chemical physics. In this journal, experiments are related to theory, and in turn theoretical papers are related to present or future experiments. Subjects covered include: spectroscopy and molecular structure, interacting systems, relaxation phenomena, biological systems, materials, fundamental problems in molecular reactivity, molecular quantum theory and statistical mechanics. Computational chemistry studies of routine character are not appropriate for this journal.
