Semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs) play a very important role in high-efficiency tandem solar cells and building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). One of the main challenges for high-performance ST-PSCs is to obtain suitable top-transparent electrodes by appropriate methods. Transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films, as the most widely used transparent electrodes, are also adopted in ST-PSCs. However, the possible ion bombardment damage during the TCO deposition and the relatively high postannealing temperature usually required for high-quality TCO films is not conducive to improving the performance of the perovskite solar cells with low ion bombardment and temperature tolerances. Herein, cerium-doped indium oxide (ICO) thin films are prepared by reactive plasma deposition (RPD) at substrate temperatures below 60 °C. A high carrier mobility of 50.26 cm V s, a low resistivity of 7.18 × 10 Ω·cm, and an average transmittance of 86.53% in the wavelength range of 400-800 nm and 87.37% in the wavelength range of 800-1200 nm are achieved. The RPD-prepared ICO film is used as a transparent electrode on top of the ST-PSCs (band gap ∼1.68 eV), and photovoltaic conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.96% is achieved on the champion device.

High-performance and cost-effective hole-collecting materials (HCMs) are indispensable for commercially viable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, we report an anchorable HCM composed of a triazatruxene core connected with three alkyl carboxylic acid groups (). In contrast to the phosphonic acid-containing tripodal analog (), molecules can form a hydrophilic monolayer on a transparent conducting oxide surface, which is beneficial for subsequent perovskite film deposition in the traditional layer-by-layer fabrication process.

Organic additives with multiple functional groups have shown great promise in improving the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells. The functional groups can passivate undercoordinated ions to reduce nonradiative recombination losses. However, how these groups synergistically affect the enhancement beyond passivation is still unclear.

Semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs) for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) face the challenge of achieving high efficiency due to significant light loss. The SnO2 electron transport layer (ETL), utilized in n-i-p PSCs and prepared via the sol-gel method, is susceptible to aggregation on substrate, resulting in light scattering that diminishes absorption of the perovskite layer. In this study, we propose a strategy that combines atomic layer deposition (ALD) and sol-gel solution to deposit a bilayer SnO2 structure to address these issues.

Heterostructures comprise two or more different semiconducting materials stacked either as co-assemblies or self-sorted based on their dynamics of aggregates. However, self-sorting in heterostructures is rather significant in improving the short exciton diffusion length and charge separation. Despite small organic molecules being known for their self-sorting nature, macrocyclic are hitherto unknown owing to unrestrained assemblies from extended π-conjugated systems.

Anisotropic carrier transport and deep-level defect of antimony selenosulfide (Sb(S,Se)) absorber are two vital auses restraining the photovoltaic performance of this emerging thin-film solar cell. Herein, chelate engineering is proposed to prepare high-quality Sb(S,Se) film based on hydrothermal deposition approach, which realizes desirable carrier transport and passivated defects by using tetrahedral PO ion in dibasic sodium phosphate (NaHPO, DSP). The PO Lewis structure, on one hand in the form of [(SbO)(PO)] chelate, can adsorb on the polar planes of cadmium sulfide (CdS) layer, promoting the heterogeneous nucleation, and on the other hand, the tetrahedral PO inhibits horizontal growth of (SbS(e)) ribbons due to size effects, thus achieving desirable [hk1] orientation.
