Efficiency improvement of perovskite solar cells by applying uniform TiO2 blocking layer deposited by RF magnetron sputtering

초록/요약

Perovskite solar cells power conversion efficiency have remarkably increased from 3.81% to 21.0% in 7 years. Perovskite solar cell based on perovskite crystal structure had made by organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Structurer of perovskite solar cell was formed compact TiO2, mesoporous-TiO2, perovskite light absorber, hole conductor, two electrodes. Perovskite solar cells have higher dielectric constants than other thin film solar cells. The compact TiO2 transfers electrons generated from the perovskite layer to back electrode and blocks hole path moving to the wrong path. The quality of the thin film of the compact TiO2 is an important factor for the perovskite solar cells quality. Compact TiO2 prevents carrier recombination at the interface of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and perovskite layer. Compact TiO2 quality was influenced by deposition methods. We manufactured compact TiO2 different methods by spin-coating method, Radio Frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. Compact TiO2 must be formed as a thin dense film corresponding to the nearest n-type semiconductor or an insulator. We have investigated the problems of the conventional spin-coating method and fabricated thin, conformal, dense films with little cell-to-cell variability using the RF magnetron sputtering method. In addition, the RF magnetron sputtering method produces a higher crystal factor and fermi level than the spin-coated method and has an excellent fill factor (FF). When manufacturing large-sized perovskite solar cells, pinhole-free compact TiO2 can be produced without considering the area. Compact TiO2 made by RF magnetron sputtering is better power conversion efficiency than spin-coating method.
