TLDR
In this paper, CsPbCl3:Mn-based quantum dots (QDs) are synthesized and applied onto the front side of the perovskite solar cells as the energy-downshift (EDS) layer.
Abstract
Parasitic absorption by window layer, electrode layer, and interface layer in the near ultraviolet (UV) region is no longer negligible for high-efficiency perovskite solar cells On the other hand, UV-induced degradation is also a big component of cell instability Herein, CsPbCl3:Mn-based quantum dots (QDs) are synthesized and applied onto the front side of the perovskite solar cells as the energy-down-shift (EDS) layer It is found that with very high quantum yield (∼60%) and larger Stokes shift (>200 nm), the CsPbCl3:Mn QDs effectively convert the normally wasted energy in the UV region (300–400 nm) into usable visible light at ∼590 nm for enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) Meanwhile, conversion of the UV rays eliminated a significant loss mechanism that deteriorates perovskite stability As a result, external quantum efficiency in the UV region is significantly increased, leading to an increased short-circuit current (377%) and PCE (334%) Furthermore, the stability of perovskite solar cell
