Sublimation and Recrystallization of CsPbBr3 Constructing a Perovskite-Carbon Interface to Facilitate Hole Transfer in Printable All-Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells.

Abstract

All-inorganic perovskite solar cells (APSCs) are a promising photovoltaic technology due to their unique physical and optical properties. For printable all-inorganic perovskite solar cells, the key factors limiting their photoelectric conversion performance are the crystallization of perovskite and the hole collection capability at the perovskite-carbon interface. In this study, leveraging the high-temperature tolerance of CsPbBr3 perovskite, the sublimation and recrystallization processes were controlled, significantly improving the crystalline quality of the perovskite and suppressing the generation of the nonphotovoltaic CsPb2Br5 phase. Furthermore, a continuous distribution of high-quality CsPbBr3 crystals was achieved at the interface between the carbon electrode and the zirconium oxide layer, ensuring efficient collection of photogenerated holes. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the printable mesoscopic all-inorganic perovskite solar cell was increased from 5.04 to 8.34% (with a record value of 10.04%) and achieved an ultrahigh open-circuit voltage of 1.54 V due to the significant improvement in the crystal quality of CsPbBr3. This study proposes a novel strategy to enhance the photovoltaic conversion performance of carbon-based all-inorganic perovskite solar cells by suppressing the presence of nonphotovoltaic phases.
