Outline of Final Research Achievements

In organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells, development of up-scaling processes with high solar energy power conversion efficiency, long-term stability, and minimum toxicity is important for moving forward this photovoltaic technology towards commercialization. The main findings from our research includes (1) fundamental understanding of CH3NH3PbI3-based perovskite solar cell degradation processes; (2) fundamental degradation processes taking place in the top-most layer of spiro-MeOTAD hole transport material often used in perovskite solar cells; (3) development of a novel process denoted as methylamine gas induced crystallization treatment that leads to high quality perovskite films; (4) initial trials of CH3NH3SnBr3-based lead-free perovskite solar cells by the vacuum co-evaporation and sequential methods.
