Additives in metal halide perovskite films and their applications in solar cells

摘要

The booming growth of organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskite solar cells have made this promising photovoltaic technology to leap towards commercialization.One of the most important issues for the evolution from research to practical application of this technology is to achieve high-throughput manufacturing of large-scale perovskite solar modules.In particular,realization of scalable fabrication of large-area perovskite films is one of the essential steps.During the past ten years,a great number of approaches have been developed to deposit high quality perovskite films,to which additives are introduced during the fabrication process of perovskite layers in terms of the perovskite grain growth control,defect reduction,stability enhancement,etc.Herein,we first review the recent progress on additives during the fabrication of large area perovskite films for large scale perovskite solar cells and modules.We then focus on a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the roles of additives for perovskite grain growth control,defects reduction,and stability enhancement.Further advancement of the scalable fabrication of high-quality perovskite films and solar cells using additives to further develop large area,stable perovskite solar cells are discussed.
