FLEXIBLE PEROVSKITE HYBRID SOLAR CELLS THROUGH ORGANIC SALT TREATED CONDUCTING POLYMER AS THE TRANSPARENT ELECTRODE

Abstract Details

2018, Master of Science, University of Akron, Polymer Engineering.
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been widely researched due to its low fabrication cost and impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) in the past years. Most PSCs are built on transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) like indium tin oxide (ITO) which is costly and rigid. Therefore, it is significant to explore alternative materials as the transparent electrode of the PSCs. In this study, we corroborated a facile routine to utilize highly electrically conductive and highly transparent poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) thin films as the transparent electrode for both rigid and flexible PSCs. The electrical conductivity of PEDOT:PSS thin films on rigid glass or flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate is significantly enhanced through a treatment with formamidinium iodide (FAI). The PCE is over 13% for the rigid PSCs with a FAI-treated PEDOT:PSS thin film on glass, and it is more than 10% for the flexible PSCs with a FAI-treated PEDOT:PSS thin film as the transparent electrode on PET.
