Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metal halide perovskites, in the form of both colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) and thin films, possess excellent optoelectronic properties, such as a high charge carrier mobility, excellent light absorption capability, tunable emission wavelength, narrow emission linewidth, and intrinsically high photoluminescence quantum yield. These advantages mean that perovskites can be used in wide color gamut light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a good color purity and surpass the Shockley–Queisser limit and further boost the efficiency of tandem devices of solar cells.

This Special Issue will present research on the synthesis of perovskites and their application in LEDs and solar cells. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress on high-efficiency and stable perovskite materials and their application in LEDs and solar cells. The potential topics include, but are not limited to:

the synthesis and shape modulation of perovskite NCs, defect chemistry on perovskite surfaces, the interfacial properties of perovskite with adjacent charge transport layers (CTL), the contact properties between CTL and CTL/electrodes, and the microscopic structure–property–performance relationship of devices.

In this work, guanidinium (GA+) was doped into methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI3) perovskite film to fabricate perovskite solar cells (PSCs). To determine the optimal formulation of the resulting guanidinium-doped MAPbI3 ((GA)x(MA)1−xPbI3) for the perovskite active layer in PSCs, the perovskite films with various GA+ doping concentrations, annealing temperatures, and thicknesses were systematically modulated and studied. The experimental results demonstrated a 400-nm-thick (GA)x(MA)1−xPbI3 film, with 5% GA+ doping and annealed at 90 °C for 20 min, provided optimal surface morphology and crystallinity. The PSCs configured with the optimal (GA)x(MA)1−xPbI3 perovskite active layer exhibited an open-circuit voltage of 0.891 V, a short-circuit current density of 24.21 mA/cm2, a fill factor of 73.1%, and a power conversion efficiency of 15.78%, respectively. Furthermore, the stability of PSCs featuring this optimized (GA)x(MA)1−xPbI3 perovskite active layer was significantly enhanced. Full article
