Flash infrared annealing as a cost-effective and low environmental impact processing method for planar perovskite solar cells
Sandy Sanchez Alonso, Michael Saliba
For successful commercialization of perovskite solar cells, straightforward solutions in terms of environmental impact and economic feasibility are still required. Flash Infrared Annealing (FIRA) is a rapid method to fabricate perovskite solar cells with e ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2019Molecular engineering of enamine-based small organic compounds as hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells
Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Michael Saliba, Sanghyun Paek, Kyung Taek Cho
The search for new classes of hole transporting materials (HTMs) is a very important task on the way towards commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, the synthesis and performance in PSCs of new enamine-based HTMs are presented. Th ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2019A partially-planarised hole-transporting quart-p-phenylene for perovskite solar cells
Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Michael Saliba
Herein, we describe the synthesis of a hole transporting material based on a partially planarised quart-p-phenylene core incorporating tetraketal and diphenylamine substituents that show optimal energy levels and solubility for perovskite solar cell applic ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2019Crystal Orientation and Grain Size: Do They Determine Optoelectronic Properties of MAPbI(3) Perovskite?
Sandy Sanchez Alonso, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba
Growing large, oriented grains of perovskite often leads to efficient devices, but it is unclear if properties of the grains are responsible for the efficiency. Domains observed in SEM are commonly misidentified with crystallographic grains, but SEM images ...
2019Methylammonium-free, high-performance, and stable perovskite solar cells on a planar architecture
Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Silver Hamill Turren Cruz
Currently, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with high performances greater than 20% contain bromine (Br), causing a suboptimal bandgap, and the thermally unstable methylammonium (MA) molecule. Avoiding Br and especially MA can therefore result in more optimal ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2018Greener, Nonhalogenated Solvent Systems for Highly Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells
Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Silver Hamill Turren Cruz, Mohammad Mahdi Tavakoli, Mozhgan Yavari
All current highest efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs) use highly toxic, halogenated solvents, such as chlorobenzene (CB) or toluene (TLN), in an antisolvent step or as solvent for the hole transporter material (HTM). A more environmentally friendly ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2018Understanding the effect of chlorobenzene and isopropanol anti-solvent treatments on the recombination and interfacial charge accumulation in efficient planar perovskite solar cells
Michael Saliba, Pankaj Kumar Yadav, Daniel Prochowicz, Mohammad Mahdi Tavakoli
Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites have emerged as very promising semiconductors with efficiencies exceeding 22% making them a serious candidate for next generation solar cells. All current high performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs), including t ...
