“…Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been tremendously developed over the past several years, due to their excellent intrinsic properties such as high power conversion efficiency (PCE), low‐cost solution‐processability, broad bandgap tunability, and large‐scale printing compatibility 1–5. With the great endeavors devote to the regulation of the perovskite composition,6,7 the strategy for fabricating high‐quality perovskite film,8 with minimal grain boundaries, and limited miscellaneous phases is an essential factor in the overall photovoltaic performance of PSCs 9,10. Therefore, a variety of researches on optimizing the morphology of perovskite films have been proposed.…”

The preparation of high‐quality perovskite films is important for achieving high‐performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The effective balance between solvent and antisolvent is an essential factor for regulating high‐quality perovskite film during the spin‐coating and thermal‐annealing steps. In this work, a greener, nonhalogenated, nontoxic bifunctional (anti)solvent, methyl benzoate (MB), is developed not only as an antisolvent to rapidly generate crystal seeds at the perovskite spin‐coating step, but also as a digestive‐ripening solvent for the perovskite precursors, which can prevent the loss of organic components during the thermal‐annealing stage and effectively suppress the formation of miscellaneous lead halide phases. As a result, this novel bifunctional (anti)solvent is employed in planar n–i–p PSCs for engineering high‐quality perovskite layers and thus achieving a power conversion efficiency up to 22.37% with negligible hysteresis and >1300 h stability. Moreover, due to the high boiling point and low‐volatility characteristic of MB, high‐performance PSCs are achieved reproducibly at different operating temperatures (22–34 °C). Therefore, this developed bifunctional solvent system can provide a promising platform toward globally upscaling and commercializing PSCs in all seasons and regions.

“…As a result, the significant difference in series and shunt resistance can explain the improvement of FF from 51.34% to 66.99% as well as the improvement of PCE from 9.63% to 10.53%. The device statistics (open circuit voltage, short circuit current, fill factor, and PCE) with different ta-C thicknesses (5,10,15,20 nm) are shown in Figure S4(a-d). Through UPS analysis, we measured the work function and valence band maximum (VBM) of ta-C films to identify the hole transport mechanism at the interface between HTL and the CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 active film.…”

“…In recent years, organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and quantum dot light emission diodes (QDLEDs) have attracted substantial research interest for use in next-generation photovoltaics and flat panel displays because of the high solarto-electric power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs and interesting property characteristic, such as good color purity with narrow full-width at half maximum (FWHM) emission of QDLEDs [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. In order to capture the main market of Si-based solar cells, it is necessary to fabricate cost-effective and high efficient photovoltaics that perform comparably to Si-based solar cells.…”

ta-C) films coated through the filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) process as a hole transport layer (HTL) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QDLEDs). The p-type ta-C film has several remarkable features, including ease of fabrication without the need for thermal annealing, reasonable electrical conductivity, optical transmittance, and a high work function. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy examinations show that the electrical properties (sp 3 /sp 2 hybridized bond) and work function of the ta-C HTL are appropriate for PSCs and QDLEDs. In addition, in order to correlate the performance of the devices, the optical, surface morphological, and structural properties of the FCVA-grown ta-C films with different thicknesses (5~20 nm) deposited on the ITO anode are investigated in detail. The optimized ta-C film with a thickness of 5 nm deposited on the ITO anode had a sheet resistance of 10.33 Ω −2 , a resistivity of 1.34 × 10 −4 Ω cm, and an optical transmittance of 88.97%. Compared to the reference PSC with p-NiO HTL, the PSC with 5 nm thick ta-C HTL yielded a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE, 10.53%) due to its improved fill factor. Further, the performance of QDLEDs with 5 nm thick ta-C hole injection layers (HIL) showed better than the performance of QDLEDs with different ta-C thicknesses. It is concluded that ta-C films have the potential to serve as HTL and HIL in next-generation PSCs and QDLEDs. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Soon after, as an evolution of VASP, an array of CVD techniques [2,34,35,36,37,38,39]—such as one-step and two-step tubular CVD, in situ tubular CVD (ITCVD), aerosol-assisted CVD (AACVD), hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD), plasma-enhanced CVD (PECVD), and so on—were developed to grow high-quality PPMs. At present, CVD of perovskites is a promising alternative to solution based methods of fabrication due to the relative ease of patterning, the ability to batch process, the wide range of material compatibility, and the potential for uniform large-area deposition.…”

Perovskite photovoltaic materials (PPMs) have emerged as one of superstar object for applications in photovoltaics due to their excellent properties—such as band-gap tunability, high carrier mobility, high optical gain, astrong nonlinear response—as well as simplicity of their integration with other types of optical and electronic structures. Meanwhile, PPMS and their constructed devices still present many challenges, such as stability, repeatability, and large area fabrication methods and so on. The key issue is: how can PPMs be prepared using an effective way which most of the readers care about. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology with high efficiency, controllability, and repeatability has been regarded as a cost-effective road for fabricating high quality perovskites. This paper provides an overview of the recent progress in the synthesis and application of various PPMs via the CVD method. We mainly summarize the influence of different CVD technologies and important experimental parameters (temperature, pressure, growth environment, etc.) on the stabilization, structural design, and performance optimization of PPMS and devices. Furthermore, current challenges in the synthesis and application of PPMS using the CVD method are highlighted with suggested areas for future research.
