Abstract
Four solvents from the glycol ether (GE) family were evaluated as safer alternatives to the highly toxic 2-methoxyethanol (2ME) used for the fabrication of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). A self-quenching process by spin-coating the acetonitrile (ACN)-based ink for 7 s was developed. The influence of the ACN:GE ratio on the coverage of perovskite layers and cell efficiency was investigated to find that with the ACN:GE ratio of 8:1 the four solvents studied here can produce PSCs with an efficiency similar to 2ME and therefore can be used as a replacement for the latter.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Energy Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of materials, engineering, chemistry, physics and biology relevant to energy conversion and storage. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important energy applications.
