在钙钛矿太阳能电池领域,如何改善空穴传输层(
HTL
)与钙钛矿吸收层之间的界面特性,一直是提升反式
PSC
性能的关键挑战之一。近日,韩国国立
釜庆大学李富强
&Sung Heum Park
团队在这一领域取得了重要突破,其最新研究成果提出了一种高效的功能补偿层(
FCL
)设计,为钙钛矿太阳能电池的性能和稳定性带来了显著提升,相关成果发表于
Small
期刊。
研究团队采用一种基于苯并噻吩衍生物的新型功能补偿层,特别是
5-(
三氟甲基
)-1-
苯并噻吩
-2-
羧酸(
TFMBTA
),将其引入到
MeO-2PACz HTL
与钙钛矿吸收层之间。该功能补偿层通过改善
HTL
表面形貌、优化能级匹配,有效增强了电荷传输与空穴提取效率,同时提升了钙钛矿薄膜的沉积质量。此外,
TFMBTA
的功能基团对钙钛矿缺陷具有出色的钝化效果,大幅减少了
HTL
与钙钛矿层界面的非辐射复合损失。
实验结果显示,引入
TFMBTA
功能补偿层的
MeO-2PACz
基
PSC
实现了
23.85%
的光电转换效率,开路电压、填充因子以及长期稳定性均得到显著提升。同样,在
PEDOT:PSS HTL
与钙钛矿层之间引入该功能补偿层,也表现出了效率和稳定性的同步增强,验证了功能补偿层在多种
HTL
上的通用性。
