Resonant silicon nanoparticles for efficiency and stability enhancement of perovskite solar cells

A lot of attempts were given to improve efficiency of lead halide perovskites solar cells in last several years by chemically active plasmonic nanoparticles implementation, but there is no data about stability in time.

Description
Summary:A lot of attempts were given to improve efficiency of lead halide perovskites solar cells in last several years by chemically active plasmonic nanoparticles implementation, but there is no data about stability in time. To solve both problem we added low-loss and chemically inert resonant silicon nanoparticles between electron transport layer and perovskite layer that allows to increase not only efficiency enhancement via improved light harvesting, photocurrent, open-circuit voltage and fill-factor, but also we increase these characteristics in few days after device preparation. Silicon nanoparticles allow achieve the device efficiency up to 18.8%, being a record among the previously reported results on nanoparticles incorporation into CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbk3) perovskite-based solar cells. The proposed method of efficiency enhancement can be used for solar cells with various chemical compositions of perovskites.
