Perovskite solar cells attract attention as promising cost-effective next generation printable photovoltaics. The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) have been substantially increased in a short period, based on the improvements of the fabrication protocols for the perovskite layer, and the development of new materials for passivation of the surface or efficient charge collection, etc.
Our research approaches for lead and lead-free perovskite solar cells are as follows.
-Development of highly purified perovskite precursor materials: We synthesis a series of complexes of lead halides or tin halides as purified precursor for perovskite materials.
-Development of fabrication methods for perovskite layer by solution process: We focus on the intermediates formed during the solution process and develop efficient fabrication methods.[1-3]
In this presentation, our recent progress of perovskite solar cells will be introduced.
Based on our "dipole strategy", the method and effects of our surface structure modification of perovskite film on solar cells will be shown.[4-7]
We also designed and synthesized novel pi-conjugated materials, including PATAT,[8] in terms of control of the energy level of frontier orbitals, molecular orientation, and interface between perovskite layer. The performance of perovskite solar cells and modules using these materials will be discussed.
