Research Highlights: Pushing the Efficiency of High Open-Circuit Voltage Binary Organic Solar Cells by Vertical Morphology Tuning

  By

The tuning of vertical morphology is critical and challenging for organic solar cells (OSCs). In this work, a high open-circuit voltage (VOC) binary D18-Cl/L8-BO system is attained while maintaining the high short-circuit current (JSC) and fill factor (FF) by employing 1,4-diiodobenzene (DIB), a volatile solid additive. It is suggested that DIB can act as a linker between donor or/and acceptor molecules, which significantly modifies the active layer morphology.… Read More

Research Highlights: ZnO electron transporting layer engineering realized over 20% efficiency and over 1.28 V open-circuit voltage in all-inorganic perovskite solar cells

  By

Cesium lead based all-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising candidates for tandem solar cells owing to their favorable thermal stability and suitable bandgap. However, to exploit the advantage to the full, there is still huge room to reduce energy loss and enhance the VOC. In this work, low-temperature processed ZnO was developed as an ETL alternative.… Read More
