The Versatility of Mesoscopic Solar Cells — •Anders Hagfeldt — Laboratory of Photomolecular Science, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), CH-1015, Lausanne, Switzerland

In our work on solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSC) we have recently [1] shown that copper phenanthroline complexes can act as an efficient hole transporting material, achieving power conversion efficiencies of more than 11%.

In our work on perovskite solar cells (PSC) we have achieved efficiencies above 20% with a mixed composition of iodide/bromide and methyl ammonium/formamidinium. With the use of SnO2 compact underlayers as electron acceptor contacts we have constructed planar perovskite solar cells with a hysteresis free efficiency above 20% [2]. We have taken the cation mixing of the perovskite film further by including Cs+ and Rb+. Larger grains grown in a monolithic manner are observed and for example reproducibility and device stability are improved [3]. At the meeting we will discuss our champion data; up to 22% efficiency with an external electroluminescence of 4%, and an outstanding open-circuit voltage of 1.24 V at a band gap of 1.63 eV. Furthermore, we will report a breakthrough in stability at 85 oC for 500 h under full solar illumination.
