Researchers from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania, who contributed to the development of record-breaking solar cells a few years ago, expanded their invention. The self-assembled monolayers can now be applied not only in inverted but also in regular structure perovskite solar cells.
A crucial step in the development of the next generation solar cells A team of KTU researchers has been synthesising and studying charge-transporting organic materials for several years. Previous experiments have focused more on molecules used for positive charge transfer in the perovskite solar cells.
"This layer, like an automatic gate on the subway, allows only one type of charge to pass through and continue its journey towards the electrode," he says. In this way, self-assembled molecules increase the efficiency of solar cells. Perovskite solar cell structures differ in the sequence of layers.
In this way, self-assembled molecules increase the efficiency of solar cells. Perovskite solar cell structures differ in the sequence of layers. In the regular structure, a negative charge transporting layer is formed on a transparent substrate, followed by light-absorbing and positive charge transporting layers.
