Multifunctional Chemical Linker Imidazoleacetic Acid Hydrochloride for 21% Efficient and Stable Planar Perovskite Solar Cells

Chen, Jiangzhao, Zhao, Xing, Kim, Seul‐Gi, Park, Nam‐Gyu·2019·Advanced Materials

Abstract

Chemical interaction at a heterojunction interface induced by an appropriate chemical linker is of crucial importance for high efficiency, hysteresis‐less, and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Effective interface engineering in PSCs is reported via a multifunctional chemical linker of 4‐imidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride (ImAcHCl) that can provide a chemical bridge between SnO 2 and perovskite through an ester bond with SnO 2 via esterification reaction and an electrostatic interaction with perovskite via imidazolium cation in ImAcHCl and iodide anion in perovskite. In addition, the chloride anion in ImAcHCl plays a role in the improvement of crystallinity of perovskite film crystallinity. The introduction of ImAcHCl onto SnO 2 realigns the positions of the conduction and valence bands upwards, reduces nonradiative recombination, and improves carrier life time. As a consequence, average power conversion efficiency (PCE) is increased from 18.60% ± 0.50% to 20.22% ± 0.34% before and after surface modification, respectively, which mainly results from an enhanced voltage from 1.084 ± 0.012 V to 1.143 ± 0.009 V. The best PCE of 21% is achieved by 0.1 mg mL−1 ImAcHCl treatment, along with negligible hysteresis. Moreover, an unencapsulated device with ImAcHCl‐modified SnO 2 shows much better thermal and moisture stability than unmodified SnO 2.

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.
