摘要
In this study, we quantify the impact of C60-passivation layers in Cs0.15FA0.85PbI2.75Br0.25 double-cation perov-skite solar cells. We apply a combination of impedance spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to identify the origin for the increase in power conversion efficiencies and operational stability for solar cells fabricated with C60/ZnO electron transport layer (ETL) versus reference cells with a ZnO ETL. XRD reveals an increase in PbI2 while PL spectroscopy reveals an increase in Br-rich regions in the perovskite bulk in devices containing C60 interlayers. We apply impedance spectroscopy to quantify the elec-trochemical dynamics in both solar cell architectures. Solar cells with C60/ZnO ETL demonstrate less pronounced and slower electrochemical dynamics in the impedance spectra than solar cells with ZnO ETL. We conclude that C60 leads to the formation of PbI2-rich and Br-rich domains in the perovskite absorber layer, resulting in reduced recombination losses and improved operational stability.
