Photoinduced processes in lead iodide perovskite solid-state solar cells

چکیده
Organic-inorganic hybrid systems based on lead halide compounds have recently encountered considerable success as light absorbers in solid-state solar cells. Herein we show how fundamental mechanistic processes in mesoporous oxide films impregnated with CH3NH3PbI3 can be investigated by time resolved techniques. In particular, charge separation reactions such as electron injection into the titanium dioxide film and hole injection into the hole transporting material spiro-OMeTAD as well as the corresponding charge recombination reactions were scrutinized. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy were applied to CH3NH3PbI3 deposited either on TiO2 or Al2O3 mesoporous films and infiltrated with the hole transporting material spiro-OMeTAD.

Unravelling the mechanism of photoinduced charge transfer processes in lead iodide perovskite solar cells
Lead halide perovskites have recently been used as light absorbers in hybrid organic–inorganic solid-state solar cells, with efficiencies as high as 15% and open-circuit voltages of 1 V. However, a detailed explanation of the mechanisms of operation within this photovoltaic system is still lacking. Here, we investigate the photoinduced charge transfer processes at the surface of the perovskite ...

متن کاملLead Iodide Perovskite Sensitized All-Solid-State Submicron Thin Film Mesoscopic Solar Cell with Efficiency Exceeding 9%
We report on solid-state mesoscopic heterojunction solar cells employing nanoparticles (NPs) of methyl ammonium lead iodide (CH(3)NH(3))PbI(3) as light harvesters. The perovskite NPs were produced by reaction of methylammonium iodide with PbI(2) and deposited onto a submicron-thick mesoscopic TiO(2) film, whose pores were infiltrated with the hole-conductor spiro-MeOTAD. Illumination with stand...
