Abstract:

Wide-bandgap perovskites solar cells (PSCs) are vital as top cells in perovskite-based tandem solar cells (TSCs). However, poor band alignment with the charge transport layer and unwanted parasitic absorption in the top semitransparent-PSC (ST-PSC) are major factors limiting the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of TSCs. Herein, we present a compact-porous nickel oxide (cp-NiOx) hole-transport layer (HTL) sequentially fabricated using a sol-gel suspension and colloidal suspension of highly crystalline NiOx. The cp-NiOx film exhibited enhanced transparency, mesoporous surface morphology, and better energy band alignment with a 1.68 eV perovskite film for fabricating highly near-infrared transparent (∼92 % (@800–1200 nm)) ST-PSCs. The best cell achieved a PCE of 15.9 %. In addition, a four-terminal perovskite/silicon TSC based on the cp-NiOx HTL achieved an outstanding PCE of ∼26.0 %. The tailored energy band structure and reduced parasitic absorption in the near-infrared region of the ST-PSCs based on the cp-NiOx HTL enabled fabrication of highly efficient inverted ST-PSCs for perovskite/silicon TSCs.

Stabilizing non-IPR C2(13333)-C74 cage with Lu2C2/Lu2O: the importance of encaged non-metallic elements

Abstract:

The difference in encaged non-metallic element (i.e., C2 versus O) leads to clear change of intramolecular interactions and shifts in redox potentials of Lu2C2@C2(13333)-C74 and Lu2O@C2(13333)-C74, as a result of...
