要約:As perovskite photovoltaics stride towards commercialization, reverse bias degradation in shaded cells that must current match illuminated cells is a serious challenge. Previous research has emphasized the role of iodide and silver oxidation, and the role of hole tunnelling from the electron-transport layer into the perovskite to enable the flow of current under reverse bias in causing degradation. Here we show that device architecture engineering has a significant impact on the reverse bias behaviour of perovskite solar cells. By implementing both a ~35-nm-thick conjugated polymer hole transport layer and a more electrochemically stable back electrode, we demonstrate average breakdown voltages exceeding −15 V, comparable to those of silicon cells. Our strategy for increasing the breakdown voltage reduces the number of bypass diodes needed to protect a solar module that is partially shaded, which has been proven to be an effective strategy for silicon solar panels.
