A New Perspective on the Role of A‐Site Cations in Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract: As the race towards higher efficiency for inorganic/organic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is becoming highly competitive, a design scheme to maximize carrier transport towards higher power efficiency has been urgently demanded. Here, we unravel a hidden role of A-site cation of PSCs in carrier transport which has been largely neglected, i.e., tuning the Frhlich electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling of longitudinal optical (LO) phonon by A-site cations. The key for steering Frhlich polaron is to control the in… Show more

“…Overall, remarkable advances have been achieved in reconciling the polaronic nature of charge carriers that have been recently demonstrated by both theory and experiments, with the previous and vast literature in which the peculiar optoelectronic properties of LHPs were showcased but only partially explained. In a recent contribution, Myung et al have proposed that the coordination of organic cations to I atoms can be used to tune the properties of polarons in HPs . However, the semilocal functionals employed to describe the electronic structure might not capture completely the physics of polarons in perovskites.…”

“…Theoretically, the transport property of CsPbX 3 has been studied with various approaches. However, the calculated carrier mobility varies widely in the literature; electron (hole) mobilities for CsPbI 3 are 258 [13] and 74 (98) [14] cm 2 /Vs and those for CsPbBr 3 are 48 (41) [15] and 679 (52) [16] cm 2 /Vs. We note that every method involves empirical parameters within the model, which may undermine consistency among the computational results.…”
