Abstract:
An excellent organolead halide perovskite film is important for the good performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, defects in perovskite crystals can affect the photovoltaic properties and stability of solar cells. To solve this problem, this study incorporated a complex of CdS and Cd(SCN
2H

2Cl
2 into the CH
3NH
3PbI
3 active layer. The effects of different doping concentrations of CdS and Cd(SCN
2H
4)
2Cl
2 on the performance and stability of PSCs were analyzed. Results showed that doping appropriate incorporation concentrations of CdS and Cd(SCN
2H
4)
2Cl
2 in CH
3NH
3PbI
3 can improve the performance of the prepared solar cells. In specific, CdS and Cd(SCN
2H
4)
2Cl
2 can effectively passivate the defects in perovskite crystals, thereby suppressing the charge recombination in PSCs and promoting the charge extraction at the TiO
2/perovskite interface. Due to the reduction of perovskite crystal defects and the enhancement of compactness of the CdS:Cd(SCN
2H
4)
2Cl
2:CH
3NH
3PbI
3 composite film, the stability of PSCs is significantly improved.
