9.13%-Efficiency and stable inorganic CsPbBr3 solar cells. Lead-free CsSnBr3-xIx quantum dots promote charge extraction
Interfacial charge recombination seriously drags efficiency enhancement of all-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) because of large energy-level differences. Although CsPbBr3-xIx light-harvesters markedly reduce interfacial charge recombination, the long-term stability of solar cell devices is still unsatisfactory to meet practical requirements. Here we present the improved charge extraction by setting an intermediated energy-level at CsPbBr3/carbon interface with colorful CsSnBr3-xIx quantum dots (QDs). The charge extraction is maximized by tuning Br:I ratio, yielding a power conversion efficiency as high as 9.13% for CsSnBr2I QDs-tailored CsPbBr3 solar cell. Moreover, all the devices show high stability in 80%RH or 80 degrees C over 720 h. The interfacial decoration of all-inorganic perovskite solar cells by lead-free perovskite QDs provides new opportunities of enhancing solar cell efficiency and reducing environmental impacts.
