dc.description.abstract | Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with transparent electrodes can be integrated with existing solar panels in tandem configurations to increase the power conversion efficiency. A critical layer in semi-transparent PSCs is the inorganic buffer layer, which protects the PSC against damage when the transparent electrode is sputtered on top. The development of n-i-p structured semi-transparent PSCs has been hampered by the lack of suitable p-type buffer layers. In this work we develop a p-type CuOx buffer layer, which can be grown uniformly over the perovskite device without damaging the perovskite or organic hole transport layer. The CuOx layer has high hole mobility (4.3 ± 2 cm2 V-1 s-1), high transmittance (>95%), and a suitable ionization potential for hole extraction (5.3 ± 0.2 eV). Semi-transparent PSCs with efficiencies up to 16.7% are achieved using the CuOx buffer layer. Our work demonstrates a new approach to integrate n-i-p structured PSCs into tandem configurations, as well as enable the development of other devices that need high quality, protective p-type layers. | |
