Samenvatting

An efficient substrate-configuration p-i-n metal-halide perovskite solar cell (PSC) is fabricated on a polymer-coated steel substrate. The optimized cell employs a Ti bottom electrode coated with a thin indium tin oxide (ITO) interlayer covered with a self-assembled [2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl]phosphonic acid monolayer as a hole-selective contact. A triple-cation perovskite is used as the absorber layer. Thermally evaporated C₆₀and atomic layer deposited SnO₂layers serve to create an electron-selective contact. The cells use an ITO top electrode with an antireflective MgF₂coating. The optimized cell fabricated on a polymer-coated steel substrate reaches a power conversion efficiency of 16.5%, which approaches the 18.4% efficiency of a p-i-n reference superstrate-configuration cell that uses a similar stack design. Optical simulations suggest that the remaining optical losses are due to the absorption of light by the ITO top electrode, the C₆₀layer, the Ti bottom electrode, and reflection from the MgF₂coating in almost equal amounts. The major loss is, however, in the fill factor as a result of an increased sheet resistance of the top ITO electrode.
