摘要
Lead halide perovskite solar cells(PSCs) with remarkable power conversion efficiency have attracted tremendous attention in recent years.However, there still exist lots of problems which are not completely understood, and further studies are needed.Herein, the hole-transport layer(HTL) dependence of the photovoltaic performance evolution of perovskite solar cells is investigated in detail.We found that the freshly prepared devices using pristine spiro-OMeTAD and Li-doped spiro-OMeTAD as HTLs always exhibited S-shaped J-V curves with poor fill factor(FF).The devices showed progressively improved FF and efficiencies when exposed to air, which is attributed to air-exposure induced conductivity improvement in spiro-OMeTAD layer.After introducing a cobalt salt dopant(FK209) into spiro-OMeTAD layer, the corresponding devices showed remarkable performance without the need of air exposure.Our results confirmed that the dopant not only increases the conductivity of spiro-OMeTAD layer, but also tunes the surface potential, and this helps to improve the charge transport and reduce the recombination loss.
