Organometal trihalide perovskite solar cells have been rapidly developed and attracted much attention in recent years due to their high photoelectric conversion efficiency and low cost. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a widely adopted technology which is used in the preparation of thin films, especially oxide thin films. With this technology, the thickness and composition of films can be conveniently and accurately controlled. In the structure of perovskite solar cells, TiO$_2$ layer working as the n-type semiconductor is used to block holes and transport electrons into electrode, which is crucial for the performance of whole devices. We introduced the PLD technique into preparation of TiO$_2$ layer. In comparison with common spin coating method, TiO$_2$ layer prepared by this technique is ultrathin and more compact. Compact TiO$_2$ (c-TiO$_2$) layers with optimized thickness of 32 nm have been prepared by the PLD method and the highest efficiency of 13.95 % for the MAPbI$_3$-based solar cell devices has been achieved.

The scalability of highly efficient organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is one of the remaining challenges of solar module manufacturing. Various scalable methods have been explored to strive for uniform perovskite films of high crystal q
uality on large-area substrates. However, each of these methods have individual drawbacks, limiting the successful commercialization of perovskite photovoltaics. Here, we report a fully scalable hybrid process, which combines vapor- and solution-based techniques to deposit high quality uniform perovskite films on large-area substrates. This two-step process does not use toxic solvents, and it further allows facile implementation of passivation strategies and additives. We fabricated PSCs based on this process and used blade coating to deposit both charge transporting layers (SnO2 and Spiro-OMeTAD) without hazardous solvents in ambient air. The fabricated PSCs have yielded open-circuit voltage up to 1.16 V and power conversion efficiency of 18.7 % with good uniformity on 5 cm x 5 cm substrates.
We explore the degradation behaviour under continuous illumination and direct oxygen exposure of inverted unencapsulated formamidinium(FA)0.83Cs0.17Pb(I0.8Br0.2)3, CH3NH3PbI3, and CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskite solar cells. We continuously test the devic
es in-situ and in-operando with current-voltage sweeps, transient photocurrent, and transient photovoltage measurements, and find that degradation in the CH3NH3PbI3-xClx solar cells due to oxygen exposure occurs over shorter timescales than FA0.83Cs0.17Pb(I0.8Br0.2)3 mixed-cation devices. We attribute these oxygen-induced losses in the power conversion efficiencies to the formation of electron traps within the perovskite photoactive layer. Our results highlight that the formamidinium-caesium mixed-cation perovskites are much less sensitive to oxygen-induced degradation than the methylammonium-based perovskite cells, and that further improvements in perovskite solar cell stability should focus on the mitigation of trap generation during ageing.
Engineering the energetics of perovskite photovoltaic devices through the deliberate introduction of dipoles to control the built-in potential of the devices offers the opportunity to enhance their performance without the need to modify the active la
yer itself. In this work, we demonstrate how the incorporation of molecular dipoles into the bathocuproine (BCP) hole-blocking layer of inverted perovskite solar cells improves the device open-circuit voltage (VOC) and consequently, its performance. We explore a series of four thiaazulenic derivatives that exhibit increasing dipole moments and demonstrate that these molecules can be introduced into the solution-processed BCP layer to effectively increase the built-in potential within the device, without altering any of the other device layers. As a result the VOC of the devices is enhanced by up to 130 mV with larger dipoles resulting in higher VOCs. To investigate the limitations of this approach, we employ numerical device simulations that demonstrate that the highest dipole derivatives used in this work eliminate all limitations on the VOC stemming from the built-in potential of the device.
Polarizers are ubiquitous components in optoelectronic devices of daily use as displays, optical sensors or photographic cameras, among others. Yet the control over light polarization is an unresolved challenge as the main drawback of the current dis
play technologies relays in significant optical losses. In such a context, organometal halide perovskites can play a decisive role given their flexible synthesis with under design optical properties . Therefore, along with their outstanding electrical properties have elevated hybrid perovskites as the material of choice in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. Among the different organometal halide perovskite nanostructures, nanowires and nanorods have lately arise as key players for the control of light polarization for lighting or detector applications. Herein, we will present the unprecedented fabrication of highly aligned and anisotropic methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI) perovskite nanowalls by Glancing Angle Deposition of PbI2 under high vacuum followed by CH3NH3I deposition at normal angle. Our approach offers a direct route for the fabrication of perovskite nanostructures virtually on any substrate, including on photovoltaic devices. The unparalleled alignment degree of the perovskite nanowalls provides the samples with strong anisotropic optical properties such as light absorption and photoluminescence, the latter with a maximum polarization ratio of P=0.43. Furthermore, the implementation of the MAPI nanowalls in photovoltaic devices provides them with a polarization-sensitive response, with a maximum photocurrent difference of 2.1 % when illuminating with the near-infrared range of the solar spectrum (>700 nm). Our facile vacuum-based approach embodies a milestone in the development of last generation polarization-sensitive perovskite-based optoelectronic devices such as lighting appliances or self-powered photodetectors.
In this perspective, we explore the insights into the device physics of perovskite solar cells gained from modeling and simulation of these devices. We discuss a range of factors that influence the modeling of perovskite solar cells, including the ro
le of ions, dielectric constant, density of states, and spatial distribution of recombination losses. By focusing on the effect of non-ideal energetic alignment in perovskite photovoltaic devices, we demonstrate a unique feature in low recombination perovskite materials - the formation of an interfacial, primarily electronic, self-induced dipole that results in a significant increase in the built-in potential and device open-circuit voltage. Finally, we discuss the future directions of device modeling in the field of perovskite photovoltaics, describing some of the outstanding open questions in which device simulations can serve as a particularly powerful tool for future advancements in the field.
