However, a major drawback for the commercialization of OPVs is their long-term stability under continuous operation. Especially, OPVs suffer from a rapid decrease in PCE during initial device operation, which is known as the “burn-in loss”. It is considered that the origin of the burn-in loss is mainly related with the instability of the BHJ morphology and/or interface rather than the photooxidation of the photoactive layer. We find that the photoactive layer prepared by a sequential solution deposition is more stable than that prepared by blend solution deposition. We also find that the burn-in loss is closely related with stability of photoactive layer / electron transporting layer interface.","PeriodicalId":342552,"journal":{"name":"Organic, Hybrid, and Perovskite Photovoltaics XX","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123033838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we present a systematic study on the application of high-performance ST-OSC filters in a greenhouse by utilizing three representative systems with different spectral responses, namely, FTAZ:PC71BM[1], FTAZ:IT-M[2, 3], and PTB7-Th:IEICO-4F[4]. Specifically, the cultivation of red leaf lettuce is conducted in a controlled environment growth chamber, which is possible to duplicate any climate, and under different ST-OSC filters. In principle, the ST-OSCs absorb a portion of the solar spectrum for power generation and lettuce utilizes the penetrated light for photosynthesis. Furthermore, we quantitatively investigate the leaf area and number profiles, plant biomass, and photosynthetic rate under the as-prepared ST-OSC filters treatments. On the base of statistical analysis after the growth cycle, we can identify the best ST-OSC for plant growth. These results thus pave the way to integrate ST-OSCs with greenhouses. \u0000\u0000[1] S.

However, for the well-known chemical instability of halide perovskites upon exposure to water, there are no reports of successful aqueous processing on top of perovskite devices. Here, we show that electron extraction layers of AZO/SnOx [1,2], with the SnOx grown by low temperature atomic layer deposition, provide outstanding protection layers, which even afford the spray coating of AgNW electrodes (sheet resistance Rsh =15 Ohm/sq and a transmittance of 90%) from water-based dispersions without damage to the perovskite.\u0000The layer sequence of the inverted cells is ITO/PTAA/perovskite/PCBM/AZO/SnOx/top-electrode. In devices without the ALD SnOx, aqueous spray processing decomposes the perovskite layers. Interestingly, the direct interface of Ag-NW/SnOx comprises a Schottky barrier, with characteristics strongly dependent on the charge carrier density of the SnOx. For a carrier density below 10^18 cm^-3, S-shaped J-V characteristics are found, that successively vanish upon UV-light soaking. For our low-T SnOx with 10^16 cm^-3, the insertion of a thin interfacial layer with a high charge carrier density (10^20 cm^-3), e.g. 10nm of ITO, is found to afford high performance semitransparent PSCs with an efficiency of 15%. Most importantly, compared to ITO electrodes Ag-NW based electrodes provide a key to achieve a higher transmittance in the IR, which is desirable for tandem Si/PSCs. \u0000[1] K.

While numerous FREA small molecules have been developed, there is surprisingly little structural diversity among high performance FREAs in literature. For example, of the high efficiency electron acceptors reported, the vast majority utilize derivatives of 2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydroinden-1-ylidene)malononitrile (INCN) as the acceptor moiety. It has been postulated that the high electron mobility exhibited by FREA molecules with INCN end groups is a result of close π-π stacking between the neighboring planar INCN groups, forming an effective charge transport pathway between molecules. To explore this as a design rationale for electron acceptors, we synthesized a new fused-ring electron acceptor, IDTCF, which has methyl substituents out of plane to the conjugated acceptor backbone. These methyl groups hinder packing and expand the π-π stacking distance by ~ 1 A, but this change doesn’t affect the optical or electrochemical properties of the individual acceptor molecule. Overall, our results show that intermolecular interactions (especially π-π stacking between end groups) play a crucial role in performance of FREAs. We demonstrated that the planarity of the acceptor unit is of paramount importance as even minor deviations in end group distance are enough to disrupt crystallinity and cripple device performance.","PeriodicalId":342552,"journal":{"name":"Organic, Hybrid, and Perovskite Photovoltaics XX","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115301316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
