Unravelling the structural complexity and photophysical properties of adamantyl-based layered hybrid perovskites

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ursula Röthlisberger, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Jovana Milic, Marko Mladenovic, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Mohammad Ibrahim Dar, Yang Li, Amita Ummadisingu, Paramvir Ahlawat, Brian Irving Carlsen, Farzaneh Jahanbakhshi, Algirdas Ducinskas

Layered hybrid perovskites comprising adamantyl spacer (A) cations based on the A(2)FA(n-1)Pb(n)I(3n+1)(n= 1-3, FA = formamidinium) compositions have recently been shown to act as promising materials for photovoltaic applications. While the corresponding p ...

Auxiliary donors for phenothiazine sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells - how important are they really?

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

Auxiliary donors are common design motifs for phenothiazine sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells. Despite this, there are only a few reports on their overall contribution to the photon-to-electron conversion efficiency. Twelve sensitizers have been p ...

A Scalable Methylamine Gas Healing Strategy for High-Efficiency Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Zaiwei Wang, Zhipeng Li

An easy and scalable methylamine (MA) gas healing method was realized for inorganic cesium-based perovskite (CsPbX3) layers by incorporating a certain amount of MAX (X=I or Br) initiators into the raw film. It was found that the excess MAX accelerated the ...
