Investigation of Electrode Electrochemical Reactions in CH3NH3PbBr3 Perovskite Single‐Crystal Field‐Effect Transistors

Optoelectronic devices based on metal halide perovskites, including solar cells and light‐emitting diodes, have attracted tremendous research attention globally in the last decade. Due to their potential to achieve high carrier mobilities, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite materials can enable high‐performance, solution‐processed field‐effect transistors (FETs) for next‐generation, low‐cost, flexible electronic circuits and displays. However, the performance of perovskite FETs is hampered predominantly by device instabilities, whose origin remains poorly understood. Here, perovskite single‐crystal FETs based on methylammonium lead bromide are studied and device instabilities due to electrochemical reactions at the interface between the perovskite and gold source–drain top contacts are investigated. Despite forming the contacts by a gentle, soft lamination method, evidence is found that even at such “ideal” interfaces, a defective, intermixed layer is formed at the interface upon biasing of the device. Using a bottom‐contact, bottom‐gate architecture, it is shown that it is possible to minimize such a reaction through a chemical modification of the electrodes, and this enables fabrication of perovskite single‐crystal FETs with high mobility of up to ≈15 cm² V^?1 s^?1 at 80 K. This work addresses one of the key challenges toward the realization of high‐performance solution‐processed perovskite FETs.

报道了A位缺位的钙钛矿锰氧化物(La0.8Sr0.2)1-xMnO3(0≤x≤0.30)多晶样品的相结构、磁性和磁电阻效应.实验表明,当x≥0.20时,化合物主要由磁性钙钛矿相和非磁性Mn3O4相所组成.它们的电阻率随温度的变化曲线均具有双峰特征,高温侧的电阻率峰出现在钙钛矿相的居里温度附近,低温侧的电阻率宽峰则是金属导电性的钙钛矿晶粒和高电阻率的半导体或绝缘体导电性的晶界或相界共同作用的结果.样品的零场电阻率ρ0随着A位缺位量x的增大而增大.适当改变x值,可以改善磁电阻比的温度稳定性.当x=0.30时,化合物磁电阻比MR在一个相对宽的温度范围内(175～328K)基本上保持不变,即MR=(9.1±0.5)%.     

Improved Thermal Stability and Film Uniformity of Halide Perovskite by Confinement Effect brought by Polymer Chains of Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone

Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) is doped to PbI₂ and organic salt during two-step growth of halideperovskite. It is observed that PVP molecules can interact with both PbI₂ and organic salt, reduce the aggregation and crystallization of the two, and then slow down the coarsening rate of perovskite. As doping concentration increases from 0 to 1 mM in organic salt, average crystallite size of perovskite decreases monotonously from 90 to 34 nm; Surface fluctuation reduces from 259.9 to 179.8 nm at first, and then increases; Similarly, surface roughness decreases from 45.55 to 26.64 nm at first, and then rises. Accordingly, a kind of “confinement effect” is resolved to crystallite growth and surface fluctuation/roughness, which helps to build compact and uniform perovskite film. Density of trap states (t-DOS) is cut down by ≈60% at moderate doping  (0.2 mM). Due to the “confinement effect”, power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells is improved from 19.46 (±2.80) % to 21.50 (±0.99) %, and further improved to 24.11% after surface modification. Meanwhile, “confinement effect” strengthens crystallite/grain boundaries and improves thermal stability of both film and device. T₈₀ of device increases to 120 h, compared to 50 h for reference ones.

Methylammonium cation deficient surface for enhanced binding stability at TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/CH<Subscript>3</Subscript>NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>PbI<Subscript>3</Subscript> interface

Heterojunction interfaces in perovskite solar cells play an important role in enhancing their photoelectric properties and stability.Till date,the precise lattice arrangement at TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3 heterojunction interfaces has not been investigated clearly.Here,we examined a TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3 interface and found that a heavy atomic layer exists in such interfaces,which is attributed to the vacancies of methylammonium (MA) cation groups.Further,first-principles calculation results suggested that an MA cation-deficient surface structure is beneficial for a strong heterogeneous binding between TiO2 and CH3NH3PbI3 to enhance the interface stability.Our research is helpful for further understanding the detailed interface atom arrangements and provides references for interfacial modification in perovskite solar cells.     

Recent Progress and Development in Inorganic Halide Perovskite Quantum Dots for Photoelectrochemical Applications

Inorganic halide perovskite quantum dots (IHPQDs) have recently emerged as a new class of optoelectronic nanomaterials that can outperform the existing hybrid organometallic halide perovskite (OHP), II–VI and III–V groups semiconductor nanocrystals, mainly due to their relatively high stability, excellent photophysical properties, and promising applications in wide‐ranging and diverse fields. In particular, IHPQDs have attracted much recent attention in the field of photoelectrochemistry, with the potential to harness their superb optical and charge transport properties as well as spectacular characteristics of quantum confinement effect for opening up new opportunities in next‐generation photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems. Over the past few years, numerous efforts have been made to design and prepare IHPQD‐based materials for a wide range of applications in photoelectrochemistry, ranging from photocatalytic degradation, photocatalytic CO₂ reduction and PEC sensing, to photovoltaic devices.

3D/2D Core/Shell Perovskite Nanocrystals for High-Performance Solar Cells

All-inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) emerge as a rising star in photovoltaic fields on account of their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, it still remains challenging to further promote photovoltaic efficiency due to the susceptible surface and inevitable vacancies. Here, this work reports a 3D/2D core/shell perovskite heterojunction based on CsPbI₃ NCs and its performance in solar cells. The guanidinium (GA⁺) rich 2D nanoshells can significantly passivate surface trap states and lower the capping ligand density, resulting in improved photoelectric properties and carrier transport and diminished nonradiative recombination centers via the hydrogen bonds from amino groups in GA⁺ ions. Consequently, an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 15.53% is realized, substantially higher than the control device (13.77%). This work highlights the importance of surface chemistry and offers a feasible avenue to achieve high-performance perovskite NCs-based optoelectronic devices.     

Highly Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells via Modification of Energy Levels at the Perovskite/Carbon Electrode Interface

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted great attention in the past few years due to their rapid increase in efficiency and low‐cost fabrication. However, instability against thermal stress and humidity is a big issue hindering their commercialization and practical applications. Here, by combining thermally stable formamidinium–cesium‐based perovskite and a moisture‐resistant carbon electrode, successful fabrication of stable PSCs is reported, which maintain on average 77% of the initial value after being aged for 192 h under conditions of 85 °C and 85% relative humidity (the “double 85” aging condition) without encapsulation. However, the mismatch of energy levels at the interface between the perovskite and the carbon electrode limits charge collection and leads to poor device performance. To address this issue, a thin‐layer of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is introduced to achieve improved interfacial energy level alignment, which is verified by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy measurements. Indeed as a result, power conversion efficiency increases from 12.2% to 14.9% after suitable energy level modification by intentionally introducing a thin layer of PEO at the perovskite/carbon interface.

Controlling Crystal Growth via an Autonomously Longitudinal Scaffold for Planar Perovskite Solar Cells

Sequential deposition is certified as an effective technology to obtain high-performance perovskite solar cells (PVSCs), which can be derivatized into large-scale industrial production. However, dense lead iodide (PbI₂) causes incomplete reaction and unsatisfactory solution utilization of perovskite in planar PVSCs without mesoporous titanium dioxide as a support. Here, a novel autonomously longitudinal scaffold constructed by the interspersion of in situ self-polymerized methyl methacrylate (sMMA) in PbI₂ is introduced to fabricate efficient PVSCs with excellent flexural endurance and environmental adaptability. By this strategy perovskite solution can be confined within an organic scaffold with vertical crystal growth promoted, effectively inhibiting exciton accumulation and recombination at grain boundaries. Additionally, sMMA cross-linked perovskite network can release mechanical stress and occupy the main channels for ion migration and water/oxygen permeation to significantly improve operational stability, which opens up a new strategy for the commercial development of large-area PVSCs in flexible electronics.     

A perspective on the recent progress in solution-processed methods for highly efficient perovskite solar cells

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) were developed in 2009 and have led to a number of significant improvements in clean energy technology. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs has increased exponentially and currently stands at 22%. PSCs are transforming photovoltaic (PV) technology, outpacing many established PV technologies through their versatility and roll-to-roll manufacturing compatibility. The viability of low-temperature and solution-processed manufacturing has further improved their viability. This article provides a brief overview of the stoichiometry of perovskite materials, the engineering behind various modes of manufacturing by solution processing methods, and recommendations for future research to achieve large-scale manufacturing of high efficiency PSCs.     

Improving All‐Inorganic Perovskite Photodetectors by Preferred Orientation and Plasmonic Effect

All‐inorganic perovskites have high carrier mobility, long carrier diffusion length, excellent visible light absorption, and well overlapping with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of noble metal nanocrystals (NCs). The high‐performance photodetectors can be constructed by means of the intrinsic outstanding photoelectric properties, especially plasma coupling. Here, for the first time, inorganic perovskite photodetectors are demonstrated with synergetic effect of preferred‐orientation film and plasmonic with both high performance and solution process virtues, evidenced by 238% plasmonic enhancement factor and 10⁶ on/off ratio. The CsPbBr₃ and Au NC inks are assembled into high‐quality films by centrifugal‐casting and spin‐coating, respectively, which lead to the low cost and solution‐processed photodetectors. The remarkable near‐field enhancement effect induced by the coupling between Au LSPR and CsPbBr₃ photogenerated carriers is revealed by finite‐difference time‐domain simulations. The photodetector exhibits a light on/off ratio of more than 10⁶ under 532 nm laser illumination of 4.65 mW cm^?2. The photocurrent increases from 0.67 to 2.77 μA with centrifugal‐casting. Moreover, the photocurrent rises from 245.6 to 831.1 μA with Au NCs plasma enhancement, leading to an enhancement factor of 238%, which is the most optimal report among the LSPR‐enhanced photodetectors, to the best of our knowledge. The results of this study suggest that all‐inorganic perovskites are promising semiconductors for high‐performance solution‐processed photodetectors, which can be further enhanced by Au plasmonic effect, and hence have huge potentials in optical communication, safety monitoring, and biological sensing.
