The development of novel acceptor and donor materials, interfacial materials for better charge-carrier collection, and optimization of phase-separation morphology contribute to remarkable enhancements in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs) has reached 19%.
Tandem organic solar cells The performance of single-junction OSCs is limited by several factors. First, single-junction OSCs are suffered from thermalization loss and transmission loss. When the energy of the excitons is greater than the bandgap of the active layer material, thermalization loss occurs.
In recent years, organic solar cells (OSCs) have advanced significantly because of rational material design and device engineering [ , , ], and the PCE of OSCs' has reached 19% [ 7 ].
The main cause of instability is that solar cells have a high working temperature that is significantly lower than the decomposition temperature of the materials in the photoactive layer [ , , ]. In the case of the active layer, the ideal morphological state is typically out of thermodynamic equilibrium [ 197, 198 ].
As discussed earlier, SnF 2 was reported to increase the solar cell efficiency of Sn-based halide perovskite by minimizing the excessive p-type doping produced by the oxidation of tin from Sn 2+ to Sn 4+ which is a major challenge corresponding to the stability of tin-based perovskites . Table 1.
