چکیده

The carrier transport and optical properties of the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 are investigated using first-principles approaches. We found that the electron and hole mobilities could reach surprisingly high values of 7-30 × 10(3) and 1.5-5.5 × 10(3) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), respectively, and both are estimated to be much higher than the current experimental measurements. The high carrier mobility is ascribed to the intrinsically small effective masses of anti-bonding band-edge states. The above results imply that there is still space to improve the performance of related solar cells. This material also has a sharp photon absorption edge and an absorption coefficient as high as 10(5) cm(-1), both of which contribute to effective utilization of solar radiation. Although band-edge states are mainly derived from the inorganic ions of Pb and I, thermal movement of the organic base has indirect influences on the bandgap and carrier effective masses, resulting in the temperature-dependent solar cell efficiencies.

Although the two-step deposition (TSD) method is widely adopted for the high performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite crystal growth mechanism during the TSD process and the photo-generated charge recombination dynamics in the mesoporous-TiO2 (mp-TiO2)/CH3NH3PbI3/hole transporting material (HTM) system remains unexploited. Herein, we modified the concentration of PbI...

Quantification of re-absorption and re-emission processes to determine photon recycling efficiency in perovskite single crystals

Photon recycling, that is, iterative self-absorption and re-emission by the photoactive layer itself, has been speculated to contribute to the high open-circuit voltage in several types of high efficiency solar cells. For organic-inorganic halide perovskites that have yielded highly efficient photovoltaic devices, however, it remains unclear whether the photon recycling effect is significant en...

Investigation into the Advantages of Pure Perovskite Film without PbI2 for High Performance Solar Cell

In CH3NH3PbI3-based high efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs), tiny amount of PbI2 impurity was often found with the perovskite crystal. However, for two-step solution process-based perovskite films, most of findings have been based on the films having different morphologies between with and without PbI2. This was mainly due to the inferior morphology of pure perovskite film without PbI2, i...
