Improved Stability of MAPbI₃ Perovskite Solar Cells Using Two-Dimensional Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide Interlayers
2022
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been receiving considerable attention as next-generation solar cells. However, their short lifetime is a major obstacle to their commercialization. In addition to the properties of the materials used in PSCs, their interfaces play an important role in device stability by maintaining their initial design. In this study, we developed a transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) as a stable and efficient interlayer. MoS₂ and WSe₂ were applied to both the hole and electron transport sides of the PSCs with general FTO/TiO₂/MAPbI₃/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au structures, respectively. Owing to efficient charge transfer by TMD interlayers, our PSCs achieved a 19.24% efficiency, which is higher than the efficiency of the control devices (18.22%). Furthermore, the device stability was markedly improved by the passivation and strain-release effects of the TMD interlayers. Thus, the PSCs with TMD interlayers demonstrated a stable performance over 1000 h under damp heat (85 °C and 85% relative humidity) conditions.
