摘要
Organometal halide perovskites have shown excellent optoelectronic properties and used to demonstrate a variety of semiconductor devices.Colorful solar cells are desirable for photovoltaic integration in buildings and other aesthetically appealing applications.However, the realization of colorful perovskite solar cells is challenging because of their broad and large absorption coefficient that commonly leads to cells with dark-brown colors.Herein, for the first time, we report a simple and efficient strategy to achieve colorful perovskite solar cells by using the transparent conducting polymer(poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate), PEDOT:PSS) as a top electrode and simultaneously as an spectrally-selective antireflection coating.Vivid colors across the visible spectrum are attained by engineering optical interference effects among the transparent PEDOT:PSS polymer electrode, the hole-transporting layer and the perovskite layer.The colored perovskite solar cells display power conversion efficiency values from 12.8 to 15.1%(from red to blue) when illuminated from the FTO glass side, and from 11.6 to 13.8%(from red to blue) when illuminated from the PEDOT:PSS side.The new approach provides an advanced solution for fabricating colorful perovskite solar cells with easy processing and high efficiency.
