Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Photovoltaic technologies have been intensively pursued as a result of the high global demand of clean renewable energy. Hybrid perovskites/silicon tandem cells have recently attracted enormous attention for photovoltaic applications with a certificated power conversion efficiency of 31.3%, owing to their superior physical properties such as long diffusion length, low trap density, suitable band gap and high light absorption. Various strategies from material synthesis to cell package have been developed to enhance the performance and the stability.

In this Special Issue, we wish to cover the most recent developments in perovskite optoelectronic devices towards high performance, high stability, and environmental sustainability.

Sb2(S, Se)3 solar cells have shown great promise due to the advantages of low cost, non-toxic and high stability. However, traditional devices commonly use noble metal as the back electrode, which not only increases device cost but also limits device stability. Herein, carbon materials are used to replace the noble metals in Sb2(S, Se)3 solar cells. In addition, to grow high-quality Sb2(S, Se)3 films, a two-step hydrothermal method was developed. The carbon-based Sb2(S, Se)3 solar cells based on the above film achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.76%. After inserting a stable P3HT layer at the Sb2(S, Se)3 film/carbon interface, hole extraction was enhanced and the PCE was promoted to 4.15%. This work brings out a promising route to produce emerging solar cells with cost-effective and stable materials. Full article

The perovskites used for optoelectronic devices have been more attractive during recent years due to their wide variety of advantages, such as their low cost, high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), high carrier mobility, flexible bandgap tunability, and high light absorption ability. However, optoelectronic applications for traditional inorganic and organic materials present dilemmas due to their hardly tunable bandgap and instability. On the other hand, there are some more important benefits for perovskite nanocrystals, such as a size-dependent bandgap and the availability of anion exchange at room temperature. Therefore, perovskite NC-based applications are currently favored, offering a research direction beyond perovskite, and much research has focused on the stability issue and device performance. Thus, the synthesis and applications of perovskite NCs need to be thoroughly discussed for the future development of solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, and laser research.

Halide perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have attracted great attention because of their superior optical properties, such as extremely high photoluminescence (quantum yield up to nearly 100%) of active layers with tunable wavelengths over the entire visible spectral range. With a suitable modification of halide perovskites, carrier transport materials, and their interfaces, external quantum efficiencies exceeding 10%, 25%, and 20% have been achieved for blue-colored (465 nm), green-colored (512 nm), and red-colored (640 nm) LEDs, respectively. Many strategies for pursuing high performances of devices have been successfully demonstrated, among which ligand engineering has always played an important role in the active layer. Herein, we present a perspective to illustrate the effects and roles of the ligands in cesium lead bromide light-emitting diodes. This perspective is mainly classified into three parts: (1) ligands for CsPbBr3 LEDs could improve radiative recombination of perovskites and contribute to better efficiency of LEDs; (2) ligands could confine CsPbBr3 growth for blue emission of LEDs; (3) stabilities of materials and devices become better with ligand engineering. Finally, the summary and perspective on PeLEDs are highlighted and possible solutions are provided. Full article
