Abstract
Hydrophobic and long-chain molecule oleylamine is used to modify the spiro-OMeTAD matrix, which is then adopted for the hole-transport layer in perovskite solar cells. It is observed that after moderate doping, the power conversion efficiency of the devices increases from 17.82 (±1.47)% to 20.68 (±0.77)%, with the optimized efficiency of 21.57% (AM 1.5G, 100 mW/cm2). The improved efficiency is ascribed to the favored charge extraction and retarded charge recombination, as reflected by transient photovoltage/photocurrent curves and impedance spectroscopy measurement. In addition, the grazing incidence photoluminescence spectrum reveals that oleylamine doping causes a blue shift of the luminescence peak of the surface layer of the halide perovskite film, while the Mott−Schottky study observes 100 mV increment in the built-in potential, both of which indicate possible defect passivation behavior on the perovskite. Moreover, an accelerated damp test observes that moisture resistance of the device is also upgraded, which is due to the improved hydrophobicity of the spiro-OMeTAD matrix.
