Abstract

Organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells are promising alternatives to silicon‐based cells due to their low material costs and high photovoltaic performance. In this work, thin continuous perovskite films are combined with copper(I) iodide (CuI) as inorganic hole‐conducting material to form a planar device architecture. A maximum conversion efficiency of 7.5% with an average efficiency of 5.8 ± 0.8% is achieved which, to our knowledge, is the highest reported efficiency for CuI‐based devices with a planar structure. In contrast to related planar 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrakis‐(N,N ‐di‐4‐methoxyphenylamino)‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene (spiro‐OMeTAD)‐based devices, the CuI‐based devices do not show a pronounced hysteresis when tested by scanning the potential in a forward and backward direction. The strong quenching of photoluminescence (PL) signal and comparatively fast decay of open‐circuit voltage demonstrates a more rapid removal of positive charge carriers from the perovskite layer when in contact with CuI compared to spiro‐OMeTAD. A slow response on a timescale of 10–100 s is observed for the spiro‐OMeTAD‐based devices. In comparison, the CuI‐based device displays a significantly faster response as determined through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and open‐circuit voltage decays (OCVDs). The characteristically slow kinetics measured through EIS and OCVD are linked directly to the current–voltage hysteresis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
