However, the stability of these devices will determine whether they can be made commercially viable. Device encapsulation or the use of a hydrophobic hole-transporting material can pre- vent the permeation of water into the perovskite layer and enhance the humidity stability of the cells under dark conditions. With regard to the light stability of solar cells, recent studies have yielded contradictory results. This work investigated the degradation mechanism of perovskite solar cells under illumination. Further, a simple method was proposed for improving their illumination stability. Amino acids were inserted between the compact TiO2 layer and the perovskite layer to effectively prevent the decomposition of the perovskite layer owing to the superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals generated under illumination from the H2O and O2 adsorbed onto the TiO2 layer.展开更多

In this review, we first introduce the properties of organic- inorganic halide perovskites and then focus on the notable achievements made on the perovskite layer to improve the power conversion efficiency of solid-state perovskite solar cells, which is featured by process engineering of the state-of-the-art lead methylammoni- um triiodide perovskite and material control of lead triiodide perovskites and other newly emerged per- ovskites. In the end, we wish to provide an outlook of the future development in solid-state perovskite solar cells. Provided that the instability and toxicity of solid- state perovskite solar cells can be solved, we will wit- ness a new era for cost-effective and efficient solar cells.展开更多

This article reports on an experimental investigation on the stability of FAPbI3 by comparison with that of widely-used methylamidinium lead triiodide (MAPbI3). A hydration of the FAPbI3 with mois- ture could be the dominant mechanism for its degradation in air, rather than a common thermal decom- position in the MAPbI3. This can be mainly contributed to a relatively strong bond formation between formamidinium ions (FA+) and 1-. Consequently, the stability of FAPbl3 based devices can be greatly enhanced by removal moisture in the surrounding. This conclusion renders FAPbI3 extremely attractive for stable perovskite solar cells with fine encapsulation.展开更多

Several advantages make them potential candidates for optoelectronics:(1) solution- or/and vapor-processed preparation at low temperature;(2) tunable optical bandgap, wide absorption spectrum but narrow photoluminescence peaks;(3) long car-rier life time, large diffusion length and high charge mobility;(4) various nanostructures via tuning capping agents and sol-vents.
