Abstract

Thermal stability of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPbI 3 )-based perovskite solar cells was investigated for normal structure including the mesoporous TiO 2 layer and spiro-MeOTAD and the inverted structure with PCBM and NiO. MAPbI 3 was found to be intrinsically stable from 85 °C to 120 °C in the absence of moisture. However, fast degradation was observed for the encapsulated device including spiro-MeOTAD upon thermal stress at 85 °C. Photoluminescence (PL) intensity and the time constant for charge separation increased with thermal exposure time, which is indicative of inhibition of charge separation from MAPbI 3 into spiro-MeOTAD. A full recovery of photovoltaic performance was observed for the 85 °C-aged device after renewal with fresh spiro-MeOTAD, which clearly indicates that thermal instability of the normal structured device is mainly due to spiro-MeOTAD, and MAPbI 3 is proved to be thermally stable. Spiro-MeOTAD with additives was crystallized at 85 °C due to a low glass transition temperature, and hole mobility was significantly deteriorated, which was responsible for the thermal instability. Thermal stability was significantly improved for the inverted structure with the NiO hole transporting layer, where the power conversion efficiency (PCE) was maintained at 74% of its initial PCE of 14.71% after the 80th thermal cycle (one cycle: heating at 85 °C for 2 h and cooling at 25 °C for 2 h). This work implies that the thermal stability of perovskite solar cells depends on selective contacts.

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.
