Graded interface engineering of 3D/2D halide perovskite solar cells through ultrathin(PEA)_(2)PbI_(4) nanosheets

摘要

2D halide perovskites have emerged as promising materials because of their stability and passivation effect in perovskite solar cells(PSCs).However,the introduction of bulky organic ammonium cations from 2D halide perovskites would decrease the device performance generally compared to the traditional 3D MAPbI_(3).Incorporation of ultrathin 2D halide perovskite nanosheets(NSs)with 3D MAPbI_(3)could address this issue.Herein,we re port a rationally designed PSCs with dimensional graded 3D/2D MAPbI_(3)/(PEA)_(2)PbI_(4)heterojunction,in which 2D(PEA)_(2)PbI_(4)NSs were synthesized and incorporated between 3D MAPbI_(3)and hole-transporting layer.Besides the significantly improved stability,a notable increasement in power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 20%was obtained for the 3D/2D perovskite solar cells due to the favourable band alignment among(PEA)_(2)PbI_(4)NSs and the other components.The graded structure of MAPbI_(3)/(PEA)_(2)PbI_(4)would upshift the energy level continuously,which enhances the hole extraction efficiency thus reduces the interface charge recombination,leading to the increasements of VOC from1.04 V to 1.07 V,Jsc from 21.81 mA/cm^(2) to 23.15 mA/cm^(2) and the fill factor from 67.89% to 74.78%,and therefore an overall PCE of 18.53%.
