Beyond Efficiency: the Challenge of Stability in Mesoscopic Perovskite Solar Cells

Rong, Yaoguang, Liu, Linfeng, Mei, Anyi, Li, Xiong, Han, Hongwei·2015·Advanced Energy Materials

Abstract

Over the past five years, the rapid emergence of a new class of solar cell based on mixed organic–inorganic halide perovskite semiconductors has captured the attention of scientists and researchers in the field of energy conversion. Benefiting from the optimization of perovskite film deposition approaches, the design of new material systems, and the diversity of device concepts, the efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has increased from 2.19% in 2006 to a certified 20.1% in 2014, making this the fastest‐advancing solar cell technology to date. However, as a photovoltaic technology, which needs to meet the requirements of working under long‐term sunlight, PSCs suffer stability concerns for both materials and devices. Evolved from dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), PSCs usually contain a mesoporous electron transporting layer or scaffold layer, a perovskite active layer, a hole transporting layer and a back contact to construct a mesoscopic‐structured device. Using interface engineering, mesoscopic PSCs (MPSCs) have obtained exciting stability with a hole‐conductor‐free printable triple‐layer architecture or conventional heterojunction version. Herein, the achievements of mesoscopic solar cells from solid‐state DSSCs to MPSCs are outlined and summary of recent progress in the stability of MPSCs is presented. Possible degradation mechanism and solutions are presented and, finally, challenges for the commercialization of this photovoltaic technology are discussed.

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.
