Increasing the open-circuit voltage (Voc) is one of the key strategies for further improvement of the efficiency of perovskite solar cells. It requires fundamental understanding of the complex optoelectronic processes related to charge carrier generation, transport, extraction, and their loss mechanisms inside a device upon illumination.
Furthermore, the instability of perovskite materials can cause problems like hysteresis, or variations in the solar cell's output voltage, and lower PCE . In this section, we will review the several factors that affect the stability of PSCs. Moisture intrusion is a significant challenge that can lead to the degradation of PSCs.
Hysteresis behavior is a unique and significant feature of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which is due to the slow dynamics of mobile ions inside the perovskite film 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. It yields uncertain current density-voltage (J–V) curves of the cells depending on the voltage scan protocols.
Since the first report of perovskite as light absorbers in solar cells in 2009 , the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of the single-junction lab-cells have been elevated up to a certified value of 25.5%, already surpassing that of other thin-film photovoltaic technologies .
Finally, under the synergistic passivation of residual PbI 2 and PEAI, the excess PbI 2 perovskite solar cell device achieved a VOC of up to 1.266 V with the lowest VOC deficit. The work will provide a guiding instruction on the management of PbI 2 in perovskite precursor to obtain high performance wide bandgap PSCs.
The relatively low potential in the less PbI 2 group is attributed to the increased carrier trapping sites from grain boundaries, which may increase the loss of leakage current , . The presence of residual PbI 2 can affect the surface potential of perovskite films.
