ABSTRACT

In order to shield perovskite solar cells (PSCs) from extrinsic degradation factors and ensure long-term stability, effective encapsulation technology is indispensable. Here, a facile process is developed to create a glass-glass encapsulated semitransparent PSC using thermocompression bonding. From quantifying the interfacial adhesion energy and considering the power conversion efficiency of devices, it is confirmed that bonding between perovskite layers formed on a hole transport layer (HTL)/indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) glass and an electron transport layer (ETL)/ITO glass can offer an excellent lamination method. The PSCs fabricated through this process have only buried interfaces between the perovskite layer and both charge transport layers as the perovskite surface is transformed into bulk. The thermocompression process leads the perovskite to have larger grains and smoother, denser interfaces, thereby not only reducing defect and trap density but also suppressing ion migration and phase segregation under illumination. In addition, the laminated perovskite demonstrates enhanced stability against water. The self-encapsulated semitransparent PSCs with a wide-band-gap perovskite (Eg ∼ 1.67 eV) demonstrate a power conversion efficiency of 17.24% and maintain long-term stability with PCE > ∼90% in the 85 °C shelf test for over 3000 h and with PCE > ∼95% under AM 1.5 G, 1-sun illumination in an ambient atmosphere for over 600 h.

ABSTRACT

The use of flexible and highly conducting molybdenum (Mo) foil as a substrate offers several advantages such as a high thermal stability, smooth surface, and chemical inertness for the fabrication of high-efficiency thin film solar cells (TFSCs) by lowering the manufacturing costs. Here, we report a record preliminary efficiency of ∼8% for sputtered-grown Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) TFSCs on flexible and lightweight Mo foils. Careful studies were focused on identifying the role of preparative parameters such as annealing temperature, absorber composition, and post-preparative optimization to bridge the obtained record efficiency of ∼8% to a previous record efficiency of 7.04% for Na-incorporated CZTSSe sputter-based TFSCs. Interestingly, the preliminary record efficiency of ∼8% for our CZTSSe device grown via a scalable sputtering method was achieved by optimizing the absorber quality and post-preparative device optimization. While our preliminary results with a record efficiency demonstrate the potential of sputtering method, there is much scope for further improvement in the device efficiency by thoroughly understanding alkali element doping in the absorber layer.
