Copolymer-Templated Nickel Oxide for High-Efficiency Mesoscopic Perovskite Solar Cells in Inverted Architecture

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Hong Zhang, Marco Alejandro Ruiz Preciado

Despite the outstanding role of mesoscopic structures on the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in the regular (n-i-p) architecture, mesoscopic PSCs in inverted (p-i-n) architecture have rarely been reported. Herein, an efficient and ...

When photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and open-circuit voltage diverge - light soaking and halide segregation in perovskite solar cells

Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Bowen Yang, Yeonju Kim

Perovskite solar cells suffer from various instabilities on all time scales. Some of them are driven by light, in particular when employing compounds with mixed halides. Such light soaking effects have been observed to result in performance changes of sola ...

Crystal-Size-Induced Band Gap Tuning in Perovskite Films

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Amita Ummadisingu, Simone Meloni

A comprehensive picture explaining the effect of the crystal size in metal halide perovskite films on their opto-electronic characteristics is currently lacking. We report that perovskite nanocrystallites exhibit a wider band gap due to concurrent quantum ...

Transient Photovoltage Measurements on Perovskite Solar Cells with Varied Defect Concentrations and Inhomogeneous Recombination Rates

Wolfgang Richard Tress, Brian Irving Carlsen, Zaiwei Wang, Firouzeh Ebadi Garjan

In all kinds of solar cells, transient photovoltage (TPV) decay measurements have been used to determine charge carrier lifetimes and to quantify recombination processes and orders. However, in particular, for thin-film devices with a high capacitance, the ...

Consensus statement for stability assessment and reporting for perovskite photovoltaics based on ISOS procedures

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Kai Zhu, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Antonio Abate, Henry Snaith, Konrad Domanski

Improving the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells is critical to the deployment of this technology. Despite the great emphasis laid on stability-related investigations, publications lack consistency in experimental procedures and parameters repor ...

Outstanding Passivation Effect by a Mixed-Salt Interlayer with Internal Interactions in Perovskite Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Bowen Yang, Filippo de Angelis, Jiajia Suo, Hui-Seon Kim

Nonradiative recombination is a major limiting factor in obtaining efficient metal-halide perovskite photovoltaics. Here, a passivation treatment is developed by applying a mixture of a new ammonium salt, CF3(CF2)(2)CH2NH3I (HBAI), and a conventional forma ...

Vapor-assisted deposition of highly efficient, stable black-phase FAPbI(3) perovskite solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, David Lyndon Emsley, Ursula Röthlisberger, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Likai Zheng, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Yuhang Liu, Zaiwei Wang

Mixtures of cations or halides with FAPbI(3) (where FA is formamidinium) lead to high efficiency in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) but also to blue-shifted absorption and long-term stability issues caused by loss of volatile methylammonium (MA) and phase se ...

Highly efficient, stable and hysteresis-less planar perovskite solar cell based on chemical bath treated Zn2SnO4 electron transport layer

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Zaiwei Wang, Mohammad Mahdi Tavakoli, Seckin Akin, Marco Alejandro Ruiz Preciado, Faranak Sadegh

The electron transport layer (ETL) is a key constituent in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). It should provide efficient and selective electron extraction, low resistivity and high stability. Here, zinc stannate (Zn2SnO4, ZSO) is employed as an ETL in planar ...
