摘要
Lead (Pb)-Tin (Sn) mixed perovskites suffer from large open-circuit voltage (V-oc) loss due to the rapid crystallization of perovskite films, creating Sn and Pb vacancies. Such vacancies act as defect sites expediting charge carrier recombination, thus hampering the charge carrier dynamics and optoelectronic properties of the perovskite film. Here, we report the passivation of these defects using a controlled amount of 2- phenyl-ethylazanium iodide (PEAI) in perovskite precursor solution as a dopant to enhance the performance of the 1.25 eV Pb-Sn low-bandgap perovskite solar cell. It was found that the incorporation of PEAI in the perovskite precursor not only improves the perovskite film quality and crystallinity but also lowers the electronic disorder, thereby enhancing the open-circuit voltage up to 0.85 V, corresponding to V-oc loss as low as 0.4 V and the power conversion efficiency up to 17.33%. The value of V-oc loss obtained with this strategy is among the least obtained for similar band gap Pb-Sn low-bandgap perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, the ambient and dark self-stability of the PEAI-treated devices were also enhanced. This work presents a simple doping strategy to mitigate the V-oc loss of Pb-Sn mixed low-bandgap perovskite solar cells.
