摘要
The demand for lightweight, flexible, and high-performance portable power sources urgently requires high-efficiency and stable flexible solar cells. In the case of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), most of the common electron transport layer (ETL) needs to be annealed for improving the optoelectronic properties, while conventional flexible substrates could barely stand the high temperature. Herein, a vacuum-assisted annealing SnO2 ETL at low temperature (100 degrees C) is utilized in flexible PSCs and achieved high efficiency of 20.14%. Meanwhile, the open-circuit voltage (V-oc) increases from 1.07 V to 1.14 V. The flexible PSCs also show robust bending stability with 86.8% of the initial efficiency is retained after 1000 bending cycles at a bending radius of 5 mm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle measurements show that the density of oxygen vacancies, the surface roughness of the SnO2 layer, and film hydrophobicity are significantly increased, respectively. These improvements could be due to the oxygen-deficient environment in a vacuum chamber, and the rapid evaporation of solvents. The proposed vacuum-assisted low-temperature annealing method not only improves the efficiency of flexible PSCs but is also compatible and promising in the large-scale commercialization of flexible PSCs.
