High Power UV-Light Irradiation as a New Method for Defect Passivation in Degraded Perovskite Solar Cells to Recover and Enhance the Performance.

Abstract:

:Although the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) reached up to 23%, their short lifetime and fast degradation still remain as the main challenges. In this work, a new facile optical method based on the high power UV-irradiation is presented for the recovery of the degraded PSCs. Addition to the full recovery of the performance, about 20% PCE enhancement and hystersis reduction are also achieved by UV-irradiation. UV-treatment causes modifications in both the bulk properties of the perovskite layer and the energy equilibrium at the interfaces. It is shown that UV-treatment effectively passivates the surface and grain boundaries defects in different types of the devices comprising normal and inverted configurations that is confirmed by the reduction of the density of defect states (DOS). It is proposed that UV-light passivates the shallow and deep defects by dissociation of adsorbed hydroxyl groups and water molecules during the device storage.
