Molecularly Tailored Surface Defect Modifier for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Yelin Hu, Miao Chen, Hongwei Zhu, Zhongjin Shen, Yinghui Wu, Jialin Wang

Surface defects cause non-radiative charge recombination and reduce the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), thus effective passivation of defects has become a crucial method for achieving efficient and stable devices. Organic ammoniu ...

In situ growth of graphene on both sides of a Cu-Ni alloy electrode for perovskite solar cells with improved stability

Michael Graetzel, Yinghui Wu, Huimin Su

The instability of rear electrodes undermines the long-term operational durability of efficient perovskite solar cells. Here, a composite electrode of copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) alloy stabilized by in situ grown bifacial graphene is designed. The alloying makes ...

Phenanthrene-Fused-Quinoxaline as a Key Building Block for Highly Efficient and Stable Sensitizers in Copper-Electrolyte-Based Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Etienne Christophe Socie, Weiwei Zhang, Brian Irving Carlsen, Yameng Ren, Huiyun Jiang, Yinghui Wu

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on Cu-II/I bipyridyl or phenanthroline complexes as redox shuttles have achieved very high open-circuit voltages (V-OC, more than 1 V). However, their short-circuit photocurrent density (J(SC)) has remained modest. ...

Indeno[1,2-b]carbazole as Methoxy-Free Donor Group: Constructing Efficient and Stable Hole-Transporting Materials for Perovskite Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Zhe Sun, Yinghui Wu, Zhiye Wang, Jialin Wang, Han Zhang

With perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs) now reaching efficiencies of greater than 20 %, the stability of PSC devices has become a critical challenge for commercialization. However, most efficient hole-transporting materials (HTMs) thus far still rely on t ...

Comprehensive control of voltage loss enables 11.7% efficient solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ladislav Kavan, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Chenyi Yi, Yiming Cao, Jingshan Luo, Yasemin Saygili, Heewon Bahng, Weiwei Zhang, Yuhang Liu, Yinghui Wu

The relatively large voltage loss (Vloss) in excitonic type solar cells severely limits their power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Here, we report a comprehensive control of Vloss through efficacious engineering of the sensitizer and redox mediator, makin ...

Efficient and stable large-area perovskite solar cells with inorganic charge extraction layers

Michael Graetzel, Wei Chen, Weiwei Zhang, Jian Liu, Yinghui Wu

The recent dramatic rise in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has triggered intense research worldwide. However, high PCE values have often been reached with poor stability at an illuminated area of typically less than 0 ...

High-conversion-efficiency organic dye-sensitized solar cells: molecular engineering on D-A-pi-A featured organic indoline dyes

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Magdalena Anna Marszalek, Qixing Zhang, Yinghui Wu

This paper reports a new D-A-pi-A organic dye WS-9, which is derived from the known dye WS-2 by incorporating an n-hexylthiophene unit into the pi-conjugation. Due to the presence of a strong electron-withdrawing benzothiadiazole unit in the pi-bridge, the ...
