Article Abstract

To achieve high power conversion efficiency in perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells, it is necessary to develop a promising wide-bandgap perovskite absorber and processing techniques in relevance. To date, the performance of devices based on wide-bandgap perovskite is still limited mainly by carrier recombination at their electron extraction interface. Here, we demonstrate assembling a binary two-dimensional perovskite by both alternating-cation-interlayer phase and Ruddlesden-Popper phase to passivate perovskite/C interface. The binary two-dimensional strategy takes effects not only at the interface but also in the bulk, which enables efficient charge transport in a wide-bandgap perovskite solar cell with a stabilized efficiency of 20.79% (1 cm). Based on this absorber, a monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell is fabricated with a steady-state efficiency of 30.65% assessed by a third party. Moreover, the tandem devices retain 96% of their initial efficiency after 527 h of operation under full spectral continuous illumination, and 98% after 1000 h of damp-heat testing (85 °C with 85% relative humidity).

Dual-functional phthalamide modulation of aging-resistant PbI for efficient perovskite solar cells.

The sequential preparation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has received widespread concern for its use in large-scale perovskite modules and perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. However, the instability of the PbI precursor solution and the incomplete reaction of ammonium salts hinder the industrialization of PSCs. Here, by introducing phthalamide (PA) into PbI solution, the carbonyl oxygen of PA molecules undergoes a bidentate coordination reaction with Pb to form an octahedral coordination structure, and the nitrogen atom in the -NH group exhibits weakly acidic properties due to the conjugation effect.

Monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem (PST) solar cells are rapidly emerging as next-generation solar cells with significant potential for commercialization. This study presents a proof of concept for a silicon diffused junction-based PST cell, utilizing a passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) cell with a low-temperature (<200 °C) laser-fired contact process to minimize thermal damage. By introducing amorphous silicon to the emitter surface of PERC bottom cell, the open circuit voltage (V) improve from 0.

As the pursuit for cost reduction of photovoltaic technologies goes on, the interest in high-efficiency Si-tandem solar cells has been strongly increasing, among which perovskite/silicon has demonstrated impressive results and prospects for further enhancements. However, the existence of deleterious defects at the surface of wide-bandgap perovskite films in the top solar cells dramatically impedes the potential industrial applications of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. In this review, begin by summarizing the various types of defects and the passivation mechanisms to provide guidance for the passivation protocols.

The perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (TSCs) offers a state-of-the-art solution for achieving unparalleled efficiency and cost-effectiveness in solar energy conversion. However, the fabrication of high-quality wide-bandgap perovskite films with a thickness of 1 μm on nano-textured silicon substrates remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we designed an amphoteric coplanar conjugated molecule (ACCM) guided by the principles of density functional theory and Brønsted acid-base chemistry.
