HIGH-EFFICIENT SOLID-STATE PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELL WITHOUT LITHIUM SALT IN THE HOLE TRANSPORT MATERIAL
CH3NH3PbX(X = Br, I, Cl) perovskites have recently been used as light absorbers in hybrid organic–inorganic solid-state solar cells, with efficiencies above 15%. To date, it is essential to add Lithium bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)Imide (LiTFSI) to the hole transport materials (HTM) to get a higher conductivity. However, the detrimental effect of high LiTFSI concentration on the charge transport, DOS in the conduction band of the TiO2 substrate and device stability results in an overall compromise for a satisfactory device. Using a higher mobility hole conductor to avoid lithium salt is an interesting alternative. Herein, we successfully made an efficient perovskite solar cell by applying a hole conductor PTAA (Poly[bis(4-phenyl) (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-amine]) in the absence of LiTFSI. Under AM 1.5 illumination of 100 mW/cm2, an efficiency of 10.9% was achieved, which is comparable to the efficiency of 12.3% with the addition of 1.3 mM LiTFSI. An unsealed device without Li+ shows interestingly a promising stability. Up to now, it is essential to add lithium bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)Imide (LiTFSI) to the organic hole transport materials (HTM) to get an efficient perovskite solar cells. However, in this paper, an efficiency of 10.9% (AM 1.5 illumination of 100 mW/cm2) was achieved by applying with a higher mobility hole conductor PTAA in the absence of LiTFSI. Initial device stability test showed that the solar cell can have a relatively higher stability without LiTFSI.
