Metal Halide Solid-State Surface Treatment for High Efficiency PbS and PbSe QD Solar Cells

We developed a layer-by-layer method of preparing PbE (E = S or Se) quantum dot (QD) solar cells using metal halide (PbI 2 , PbCl 2 , CdI 2 , or CdCl 2 ) salts dissolved in dimethylformamide to displace oleate surface ligands and form conductive QD solids. The resulting QD solids have a significant...

description We developed a layer-by-layer method of preparing PbE (E = S or Se) quantum dot (QD) solar cells using metal halide (PbI 2 , PbCl 2 , CdI 2 , or CdCl 2 ) salts dissolved in dimethylformamide to displace oleate surface ligands and form conductive QD solids. The resulting QD solids have a significant reduction in the carbon content compared to films treated with thiols and organic halides. We find that the PbI 2 treatment is the most successful in removing alkyl surface ligands and also replaces most surface bound Cl - with I - . The treatment protocol results in PbS QD films exhibiting a deeper work function and band positions than other ligand exchanges reported previously. The method developed here produces solar cells that perform well even at film thicknesses approaching a micron, indicating improved carrier transport in the QD films. We demonstrate QD solar cells based on PbI 2 with power conversion efficiencies above 7%.
