In this article, we fabricated a plane structure perovskite solar cell of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MAPbI Cl /PCBM/Al. With 1% of 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) additive in the perovskite, the solar cell's efficiency greatly increased from 10.39% to 13.57%. On the one hand, the DIO additive is advantageous to enhance the thin-film degree of crystallinity, and it can enhance the perovskite thin film's electrical polarization characteristic, leading to an increase in the built-in electric field, and promote charge extraction and separation and transport processes. On the other hand, the DIO additive can also enhance the charge extraction speed in the perovskite solar cell photoelectric conversion process, and further increase the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cell. In addition, in the perovskite solar cell device there occurs the monomolecular recombination effect; the DIO additive introduced into the perovskite can effectively reduce the trap-induced monomolecular recombination effect, and enhance the solar cell's PCE.

Wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells (WBG PSCs) have promising applications in tandem devices yet suffer from low open-circuit voltages (Vs) and less stability. To address these issues, the study introduces multifunctional nicotinamide derivatives into WBG PSCs, leveraging the regulation on photovoltaically preferential orientation and optoelectronic properties via diverse functional groups, e.g.

Effective modifications for the buried interface between self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and perovskites are vital for the development of efficient, stable inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and their tandem photovoltaics. Herein, an ionic-liquid-SAM hybrid strategy is developed to synergistically optimize the uniformity of SAMs and the crystallization of perovskites above. Specifically, an ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-iumbis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide (BMIMTFSI) is incorporated into the SAM solution, enabling reduced surface roughness, improved wettability, and a more evenly distributed surface potential of the SAM film.

Context: Exploration for renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources has become a major challenge to overcome the depletion of fossil fuels and their environmental hazards. Therefore, solar cell technology, as an alternative solution, has attracted the interest of many researchers. In the present work, the CsXInBr (X = Cu or Ag) compounds as lead-free halide perovskites have been studied due to their direct energy gap in the range of solar energy, thermodynamic stability, low effective mass of electrons, and high absorption coefficient.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) was employed to evaluate the environmental impacts of various lead (Pb) recycling processes in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The analysis identifies solvent recovery and reuse as critical factors in reducing environmental harm, highlighting the need for optimized recycling methods to enhance the sustainability of PSCs.

Perovskite solar cells have been of great interest over the past decade, reaching a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 26.7%, which is comparable to best performing silicon devices. Moreover, the capability of perovskite solar cells to be solution-processed at low cost makes them an ideal candidate for future photovoltaic systems that could replace expensive silicon and III-V systems.
