The performance of three-dimensional (3D) organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be enhanced through surface treatment with 2D layered perovskites that have efficient charge transport. We maximized hole transport across the layers of a metastable Dion-Jacobson (DJ) 2D perovskite that tuned the orientational arrangements of asymmetric bulky organic molecules. The reduced energy barrier for hole transport increased out-of-plane transport rates by a factor of 4 to 5, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) for the 2D PSC was 4.9%. With the metastable DJ 2D surface layer, the PCE of three common 3D PSCs was enhanced by approximately 12 to 16% and could reach approximately 24.7%. For a triple-cation–mixed-halide PSC, 90% of the initial PCE was retained after 1000 hours of 1-sun operation at ~40°C in nitrogen.
通过用具有高效电荷传输性能的二维层状钙钛矿对三维(3D)有机-无机卤化物钙钛矿太阳能电池(PSCs)进行表面处理,可以提高其性能。我们通过调整不对称大体积有机分子的取向排列,最大限度地提高了亚稳 Dion-Jacobson(DJ)二维钙钛矿层之间的空穴传输。空穴传输的能量势垒降低,使面外传输速率提高了 4 到 5 倍,二维钙钛矿太阳能电池的功率转换效率(PCE)达到了 4.9%。通过使用亚稳 DJ 二维表面层,三种常见 3D PSCs 的 PCE 提高了约 12%至 16%,可达到约 24.7%。对于三阳离子混合卤化物 PSC,在氮气中约 40°C 的 1 个太阳光照下运行 1000 小时后,初始 PCE 的 90%得以保留。
