Halide Perovskite Solar Cells and Tandem Photovoltaics
This research community focuses on the development of halide perovskite thin films and their integration into solar cells, specifically addressing efficiency, stability, and interface engineering for photovoltaic applications.
The work centers on the synthesis and optimization of organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites, including double perovskites and lead-free alternatives like tin-based compounds. Key methods involve hole and electron transport layer engineering, defect passivation using self-assembled monolayers, and the fabrication of inverted and n-i-p device architectures. A significant portion of the research targets tandem structures, particularly perovskite/silicon and all-perovskite configurations, to enhance power conversion efficiency. The community also investigates the stability of these films under environmental stress and the role of cation and anion composition in film quality.
The largest share of the community's output is found in caesium research, representing 23.6% of all caesium research, and 12,803 papers here. Lead research contributes 8.6% of its total output, with 12,803 papers in this community, while iodine research accounts for 7.0% of its output with 7,152 papers.
The community comprises 54,656 papers, publishing most frequently in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Advanced Functional Materials, and Advanced Materials.
Recent work continues to focus on interfacial engineering and tandem architectures, with recent titles describing homogenized chlorine distribution for high efficiency, dipolar passivation in all-perovskite tandems, and flexible perovskite/silicon devices achieving high efficiency.
