Humidifying, heating and trap-density effects on triple-cation perovskite solar cells

Abstract The effect of moisture and heat are important challenges in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein we studied the performance of triple-cation PSCs in different operating environmental conditions. Humidified cells exhibited a hopeful character by increasing the open-circuit voltage (V OC ) a...

description Abstract The effect of moisture and heat are important challenges in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein we studied the performance of triple-cation PSCs in different operating environmental conditions. Humidified cells exhibited a hopeful character by increasing the open-circuit voltage (V OC ) and short-circuit current density (J SC ) to 940 mV and 22.85 mA cm−2 with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.34%. In addition, further analyses showed that hysteresis index and charge transfer resistance decrease down to 0.4% and 1.67 kΩ. The origin of superior stability is ion segregation to the interface, which removes the antisite defect states. Finally, the effect of operating temperature and trap density on structure and performance was also studied systematically.
