Sn-Pb mixed Perovskite solar cells,High efficiency,Stability
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted much attention because of the fast progress of their power conversion efficiency (PCE), from 3.8% to 25.7% in the past 14 years. However, the highest efficiency of the PSCs is close to the theoretical efficiency limit (around 31 %) of the single junction PSCs. To overcome the efficiency limit of the single junction PSCs. All perovskite tandem solar cells should be focused on. Sn-Pb mixed PSCs are the key points for achieving all perovskite tandem solar cells. Recently, the best Sn-Pb mixed PSCs have achieved over 23 % efficiency. However, the stability of the Sn-Pb mixed PSCs is relatively low compared to pure Pb-based PSCs, which limits the practical use of the tandem solar cells.
Suppression of Sn2+ oxidation is one of the most crucial points for achieving high performance and stability of Sn-Pb mixed PSCs. According to recent studies, the Sn2+ oxidation is more dominant on the perovskite surface.[3] The oxidation of Sn2+ even occurs during the formation of perovskite film in the inert atmosphere. Therefore, suppression of Sn oxidation of the Sn-Pb mixed perovskite surface is important to achieve highly stable Sn-Pb mixed PSCs.
In this work, a Pb-contained solution was used for perovskite surface treatment, leading to improved light illumination stability of Sn-Pb mixed perovskite solar cells.
Without surface modification, Sn2+ oxidation may easier occur on the perovskite surface. After Pb2+-contained solution surface modification, the Pb2+ ratio increases due to the introduction of the Pb2+, which can suppress the oxidation of the Sn2+ on the perovskite surface. Therefore, the surface modified PSCs by the Pb2+-contained solution achieved better stability.
