Article Abstract

In this study, n-type crystalline silicon and organic conjugated polymer PEDOT:PSS were combined to prepare backside Si/PEDOT:PSS hybrid heterojunction solar cells by a low-temperature solution method. This provides a novel approach to reduce the production cost of crystalline Si solar cells and improve device efficiency. To address the issue that the contact performance of PEDOT:PSS film deteriorates due to the pyramidal structure of the Si surface, the contact performance of PEDOT:PSS and Si interface was optimized by using high-speed dual spin-coating technology, and the power conversion efficiencies (PCE) reached 15.91%. To further improve the efficiency, perfluoropolymer Nafion was added to PEDOT:PSS films, and the synergistic effect of the sulfonate groups in Nafion and PSS optimized the passivation properties of the interface between PEDOT:PSS and Si. When the volume ratio of Nafion to PEDOT:PSS was 0.5:1, the PCE of the solar cell was further enhanced, reaching 17.96%.

Sequential deposition technique is widely used to fabricate perovskite films with large grain size in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Residual lead halide (PbI) in the perovskite film tends to be decomposed into metallic lead (Pb) under long-term heating or light soaking. Here, a chiral levetiracetam (LEV) dopant containing α-amide and pyrrolidone groups is introduced into the PbI precursor solution.

Establishing a low-resistance perovskite/ITO contact using self-assembled molecules (SAMs) is crucial for efficient hole transport in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) without a pre-deposited hole-transporting layer. However, SAMs at the buried interface often encounter issues like nonuniform distribution and molecular aggregation during the extrusion process, leading to significant energy loss. Herein, a molecular hybrid bridging strategy by incorporating a novel small molecule is proposed, (2-aminothiazole-4-yl)acetic acid (ATAA), featuring a thiazole ring and carboxylic acid group, along with the commonly used SAM, 4-(2,7-dibromo-9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)butyl)phosphonic acid (DMAcPA), into the perovskite precursor to synergistically optimize the buried interface.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are rapidly advancing due to their high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and low fabrication costs. However, their commercialization is hindered by lead toxicity and the use of expensive materials, such as Spiro-OMeTAD and gold electrodes. This study presents a comprehensive SCAPS-1D simulation-based analysis of 14 perovskite absorber materials, spanning both Pb-based and lead-free compounds, under a unified device architecture using low-cost, nontoxic components: ZnO as the electron transport material (ETM), PEDOT:PSS + WO as a dual hole transport material, and nickel as the back contact.
