Critical role of 1D materials in realizing efficient and stable perovskite solar cells

Abstract

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted much attention in photovoltaic technologies due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. Although power conversion efficiency (PCE) has obtained great triumph, stability is still an...

Long-chain organic molecules enable mixed dimensional perovskite photovoltaics: a brief view

“…Typically, rigid and bulk organic cations are incorporated within the perovskite structure to serve as spacers, prompting the assembly of [BX 6 ] 4− octahedra into a chain arrangement to form the 1D perovskite structure. The bulk organic cations that occupy the [BX 6 ] 4− octahedral chain predominantly encompass aromatic amines, pyridinium, and so on ( Chen et al, 2023b ; Zhao et al, 2023 ). In this mini review, Figure 1 illustrates a range of A-site cations capable of inducing the formation of 1D perovskite structures.…”

“…In addition, the presence of large hydrophobic cations efficiently prevents the lattice structure from moisture invasion, resulting in superior long-term stability of 1D perovskites ( Fu et al, 2019 ; Kim and Seok, 2020 ; Paek et al, 2020 ). Nevertheless, the application of pure 1D perovskites in photovoltaic field suffers from a series of limitations, such as wide optical bandgap, high exciton binding energy caused by natural quantum wells, poor charge conductivity and low film quality ( Koh et al, 2016 ; Yuan and Huang, 2016 ; Qian et al, 2017 ; Yang et al, 2018 ; Yang et al, 2022 ; Chen et al, 2023a ; Zheng et al, 2023 ) Therefore, the 1D/3D mixed-dimensional perovskites have been extensively studied to combine the excellent photoelectric performance of 3D perovskites and the reliable long-term stability of 1D perovskites.…”

Dimensional diversity (0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D) in perovskite solar cells: exploring the potential of mixed-dimensional integrations

“…There is a substantial body of literature, and we have come across a number of interesting review articles, each of which concentrated on a particular feature or characteristic of perovskite materials including 1D materials for efficient and stable PSCs, 75 solar cells with perovskite quantum dots, 5,76–79 nanocrystals in luminescent solar concentrators, 80 metal halide perovskite nano/microwires, 81 and metal halide perovskite nanorods. 82 There are still gaps in our understanding of the potential of perovskite solar cells because none of these articles provided a comprehensive analysis of the entire dimensional spectrum.…”
