BEYOND 17% STABLE PEROVSKITE SOLAR MODULE VIA POLARON ARRANGEMENT OF TUNED POLYMERIC HOLE TRANSPORT LAYER

polaron perovskite 0

Operational stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is rapidly becoming one of the pressing bottlenecks for their upscaling and integration of such promising photovoltaic technology. By using a Polaron Arrangement strategy, we demonstrated stable PSCs with typical power conversion efficiencies above 20%, retain more than 90% of the initial efficiency after 1080 hours thermal stress at 85 ˚C and 87% of initial efficiency after 160 hours exposure against 1 sun light soaking. By using this strategy, we advanced the efficiency of perovskite solar modules beyond 17% on an active area of 43 cm2, keeping above 90% of the initial efficiency after 800 hours thermal stress at 85 ˚C. These results, obtained in ambient conditions, pave the way toward the industrialization of PSC-based photovoltaic technology.

IMPORTANCE OF FERROELECTRIC DOMAINS

importance of ferroelectric domains for the performance of perovskite solar cells

On the importance of ferroelectric domains for the performance of perovskite solar cells

The effect of ferroelectric polarization patterns in MAPbI3 on JV characteristics has been analyzed. We discuss models for the polarization orientation pattern and magnitude of the ferroelectric domains. Simulations performed on real patterns show that the presence of ordered ferroelectric domains, even with a weak characteristic polarization magnitude enhances the power conversion efficiencies and are mandatory to reproduce the experimental J-V characteristics.

Photoelectrochemical and spectrophotometric studies on dye-sensitized solar cells (dscs) and stable modules (dscms) based on natural apocarotenoids pigments

We present a study on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) and we fabricate dye-sensitized solar modules (DSCMs) based on natural apocarotenoids extracted from the achiote's seeds (annatto). Use of less polar solvent such as diethyl ether improves the bixin concentration in the annatto extract which, was employed as sensitizer in the devices.
