Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project, the fabrication process of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells with an all-vapour phase, where each layer was deposited using conventional vacuum evaporation equipment, was studied. Perovskite solar cells with an FTO/CuPc/MAPbI3/C60/BCP/Ag structure were achieved with a power conversion efficiency of over 16 %. In particular, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) was used as the hole transport layer instead of PEDOT:PSS, which is commonly used in perovskite solar cells. This is because CuPc is a sublimable organic material and high-purity CuPc is commercially available. Furthermore, after the perovskite film (MAPbI3) was prepared, PCBM solution was spin-coated onto the perovskite film to passivate defects in grain boundaries and at surfaces of the MAPbI3 microcrystals. The results showed that the passivation with PCBM improved the open circuit voltage by 0.08 V.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

In the past, solution process was a mainstream for fabrication of perovskite solar cells. Our research showed that a vapor-based fabrication process is also effective for fabrication of perovskite solar cells and environmentally friendly fabrication method for perovskite solar cells.
