11.08%-Efficiency all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cell, ultra-high voltage 1.702V



1. Article overview


The lattice strain caused by the soft perovskite lattice and the crystal distortions such as lattice surface and grain boundary defects, to a large extent, determine the charge extraction-transfer kinetics and recombination, leading to perovskite solar cells (perovskite solar cells). Battery) is less efficient. Here, the author proposes a strategy to significantly reduce the tensile strain of the surface lattice by adding inorganic two-dimensional Cl-end Ti3C2 (Ti3C2Clx) MXene to the volume and surface of the CsPbBr3 film. Due to the strong interaction between the Cl atom in Ti3C2Clx and the uncoordinated Pb2+ in the CsPbbr3 lattice, the expanded perovskite lattice is compressed and restricted as a lattice "band", in which the Pb-Cl bond forms the "glue" Function, 2DTi3C2 fixes the crystal lattice. Finally, on the best all-inorganic Cspbbr3PSC, at an ultra-high open circuit voltage as high as 1.702V, the champion efficiency reached 11.08%, which is the highest efficiency record for this type of perovskite solar cell so far. In addition, the performance of the unencapsulated device at a relative humidity of 80%, 100 days and 85°C has little change.

3. Full text summary

In summary, we propose a new defect passivation and strain release strategy, adding the cl-side Ti3C2MXene to the volume and surface of the perovskite film to achieve a stable and efficient all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cell. Due to the formation of the interface between Pb2+ ions in the perovskite lattice and the terminating Cl atom in Ti3C2ClxMXCene, the defects and expansion lattices at the interface and grain boundaries of the perovskite film are obviously healed and play the role of the surface lattice "band", where Pb- The Cl bond stands for "glue", and Ti3C2 fixes the crystal lattice. The results show that the efficiency of the best all-inorganic CsPbBr3PSC is as high as 11.08%, and the ultra-high Voc is 1.702V, which is the highest PCE and voltage record of the CsPbBr3 solar cell. In addition, unencapsulated solar cells have good stability under high humidity (80%RH) and high temperature (85°C) conditions, respectively, within 100 days and 30 days. Our research results have opened up a new way to prepare high-quality defect-free perovskite films, which is not only conducive to the preparation of high-performance perovskite solar cells, but also to other perovskite-based optoelectronic devices.
