Cesium-containing triple cation perovskite solar cells: improved stability, reproducibility and high efficiency

MSMichael SalibaTMTaisuke MatsuiJSJi-Youn Seo

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effects of cesium incorporation on the stability and efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
  • Utilized triple cation perovskite compositions with cesium, formamidinium, and methylammonium.
  • Evaluated thermal stability and device performance over a 250-hour operational period.
  • Measured power output to assess reproducibility.
  • Achieved stabilized power output of 21.1% after optimization.
  • Ensured ∼18% efficiency was maintained after 250 hours under operational conditions.
  • Demonstrated reduced phase impurities and enhanced thermal stability.

Abstract

Today's best perovskite solar cells use a mixture of formamidinium and methylammonium as the monovalent cations. With the addition of inorganic cesium, the resulting triple cation perovskite compositions are thermally more stable, contain less phase impurities and are less sensitive to processing conditions. This enables more reproducible device performances to reach a stabilized power output of 21.1% and ∼18% after 250 hours under operational conditions. These properties are key for the industrialization of perovskite photovoltaics.
