Abstract:
All inorganic carbon-based CsPbI
2Br perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) have lower photoelectric conversion efficiency due to poor contact performance and mismatch of energy band between carbon electrode and perovskite laye. In this paper, two kinds of regular octahedral Cu
xO with different morphologies and structures were prepared by a simple glucose reduction method combined with calcination technology. As inorganic hole transport materials, C-PSCs with the structure of conductive glass (FTO)/SnO
2/CsPbI
2Br/CuO/C were prepared and the influence of morphologies and structures on the photoelectric performance was studied. The results show that Cu
xO has good chemical stability and p-type carrier transport characteristics, which can effectively enhance the interface contact between CsPbI
2Br and carbon electrode, improve the carrier transport performance, reduce charge recombination, and extend the photoelectron life. The highest photoelectric conversion efficiency of CsPbI
2Br based C-PSCs devices based on Cu
2O and CuO is 11.62% and 13.22%, respectively, which is 19.5% and 36.0% higher than that of blank devices. In addition, by adding Cu
2O and CuO, the long-term stability of the device in the air is also significantly improved. This work has a certain significance for improving the performance of CsPbI
2Br based C-PSCs.
