Due to their high resistance to real operational conditions, perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs) with dopant-free inorganic hole transport materials are good candidates for PSC commercialization. It should be noted that these types of PSCs have recorded lower power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to Spiro-OMeTAD-based PSCs, with a recent PCE record of 25.8%. Here, we introduced nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate (NOBF4) into the perovskite precursor to improve hole carriers' transport between the perovskite layer and copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) layer. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that NOBF4 additive reduces series resistance in PSC devices, which may be due to a band alignment between the valance band of perovskite and CuPc. In addition, due to a partial BF4− substitution with I− ions during the fabrication process, the crystallinity properties of the perovskite layer are tailored, leading to the formation of a film with larger grains. By employing NOBF4 material, in the obtained perovskite layer, a small unreacted lead iodide (PbI2) amount remained. In total, the NOBF4 additive brings a maximum efficiency of 16.77% for the target solar cell group, higher than the 14.42% for control devices. The target PSCs, compared with the control PSCs, showed improved air stability results from the suppressed PbI2 with enlarged perovskite grains.

MAPbI3钙钛矿与铜酞菁无机空穴传输层通过四氟硼酸亚硝鎓添加剂的适应性提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的性能和稳定性
由于钙钛矿基太阳能电池 (PSC) 对实际操作条件具有很高的耐受性,因此具有无掺杂无机空穴传输材料的钙钛矿太阳能电池 (PSC) 是 PSC 商业化的良好候选者。应该指出的是,与基于 Spiro-OMeTAD 的 PSC 相比,这些类型的 PSC 的功率转换效率 (PCE) 较低,最近的 PCE 记录为 25.8%。在这里,我们将四氟硼酸亚硝鎓 (NOBF 4 ) 引入钙钛矿前体中,以改善空穴载流子在钙钛矿层和铜酞菁 (CuPc) 层之间的传输。电化学阻抗谱 (EIS) 表明,NOBF 4添加剂降低了 PSC 器件中的串联电阻,这可能是由于钙钛矿的价带与 CuPc 之间的能带对齐。此外,由于部分BF4 -在制造过程中用 I -离子取代,钙钛矿层的结晶度特性被调整,导致形成具有更大晶粒的薄膜。通过使用NOBF 4材料,在得到的钙钛矿层中,残留少量未反应的碘化铅(PbI 2 )。总的来说,NOBF 4添加剂为目标太阳能电池组带来了 16.77% 的最大效率,高于控制设备的 14.42%。与对照 PSC 相比,目标 PSC 的空气稳定性得到改善,这是由于 PbI 2受到抑制,钙钛矿晶粒增大。
