Sn-Pb narrow-bandgap perovskite solar cells, which is a light-harvesting layer thicker than 1.3 micrometers, is needed to enhance the low photocurrent. The fabrication of such a thick film through solution processing is a key challenge. Here, we studied and characterized the film by using a precursor solution of increased concentration, comparing it with the universally used 1-micrometer Sn-Pb perovskite film. The increase in molar concentration clearly induced thickness enhancement, but we observed that it also created numerous voids at the interface with bottom charge transporting layer. We hypothesized that these voids might hinder the increase in photocurrent associated with thickness enhancement. By introducing methylammonium chloride (MACl), we successfully fabricated Sn-Pb perovskite film with a thickness of 1.3 micrometer and no voids. Void-controlled Sn-Pb perovskite solar cells not only demonstrated superior short-circuit current density compared to those with voids but also operated smoothly under light exposure.

Methylammonium lead bromide ($MAPbBr_3$) has attracted a lot of attention due to their excellent optoelectronic properties such as the compositional flexibility relevant to photoluminescence (PL) and UV-Vis absorbance spectrum, high diffusion length, and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Despite such advantages of organic-inorganic perovskite materials, more systematic study on manipulation of their optoelectronic properties in homo- or heterovalent metal ions doped halide perovskite nanocrystals is lacking. In this study, we systematically investigated the optical properties of colloidal $CH_3NH_3Pb_{1-x}Sn_xCl_{2x}Br_{3-2x}$ particles by addition of $SnCl_2$ into the typical methylammonium lead tribromide ($CH_3NH_3PbBr_3$) precursor solution. We found that only 1% addition of $SnCl_2$ shows a significant blue-shift from 540 nm to 420 nm in UV-Vis absorbance spectrum due to the strong quantum confinement effect. Furthermore, continuous blue-shift in photoluminescence spectra was observed as the amount of Cl increases. These experimental results provide new insights into the replacement of Pb within $MAPbBr_3$, required for the broadening of their application.

A homogeneous and stoichimetric fine powder of the ferroelectric $Pb_[0.97}La_{0.02}(Zr_{0.64}Sn_{0.25}Ti_{0.11})O_3$ (PLZST) has been prepared by the hydroxide coprecipitation method. Studies on the crystallization behavior of precursor as a function of temperature by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy technique were consistent with the formation of the pyrochlore phase from amorphous, initially at low temperatures around 500~$550^{\circ}C$. Further heat treatment up to $750^{\circ}C$ resulted in development of the perovskite phase with no significant pyrochlore crystallite growth. At intermediate temperatures the precursor yields a fine mixture of pyrochlore and perovskite phases. When the pyrochlore phase was heat teated in air, slight weight increase was observed in the temperature range of 300~$700^{\circ}C$, which is thought to be caused from oxygen absorption. In argon atmosphere, weight increase was not observed. On the other hand, weight loss began to occur near $700^{\circ}C$, with giving off mostly CO2 gas. This implies that the pyrochlore phase seems to be crystallorgraphycally and thermodynamically metastable. An apparent activation energy of 53.9 ㎉/mol was estimated for the pyrochlore-perovskite phase transformation.

$Pb_{0.99}[(Zr_{0.6}Sn_{0.4})_{0.9}Ti_{0.1}]_{0.98}Nb_{0.02}O_3$ (PNZST) thin films were deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on a $(La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})CoO_3$ (LSCO)/Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate using a PNZST target with an excess PbO of 10 mole%. The thin films deposited at the substrate temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ crystallized to a perovskite phase after rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The thin films, which annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 10 seconds in air, exhibited good crystal structures and ferroelectric properties. The remanent polarization and coercive field of the fabricated PNZST capacitor were approximately $20uC/cm^2$ and 50 kV/cm, respectively. The reduction of the polarization after $2.2\;{\times}\;10^9$ switching cycles was less than 10%.

(Pb$\_$0.4/Ca$\_$0.6/)(Fe$\_$1/2/Nb$\_$1/2/)O$_3$ system was modified by 10 mol% Pb(Zn$\_$1/2/W$\_$1/2/)O$_3$ addition and their sinterability and microwave properties were investigated as a function of the amount of flux (0.975PbO-0.025SnO$_2$). With increasing flux content, single perovskite phase was maintained up to 3 wt% flux addition and further addition led to the presence of Pb-rich second phase which was confirmed by EDS analysis. The apparent densities of PCFN-PZW specimen increased and showed maximum values at 2.5 wt% flux addition for the Ts=1000$^{\circ}C$ and 2.0wt% flux addition for the Ts=1050$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The dielectric constant and Q$.$f values strongly depended on the variation of density and microstructure, where the optimum values of $\varepsilon$$\_$r/ = 91.95, Q$.$f = 5938GHz, TCF = +8.15ppm/$^{\circ}C$ were obtained for the 2.5wt% flux added PCFN-PZW specimen sintered at 1000$^{\circ}C$ for 4h.

페로브스카이트 태양전지는 용액공정으로 제작되어 공정 중 전구체 조성제어를 통해 밴드갭을 용이하게 조절할 수 있다. 탠덤 태양전지의 상부셀로 활용하여 실리콘 태양전지와 접합 시 30% 이상의 효율 달성이 가능하지만, 페로브스카이트 태양전지의 낮은 안정성이 상용화의 걸림돌로 작용하고 있다. 아이오딘 이온 및 전극 물질 확산이 주된 열화기구로 알려져 있어 장기 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 이러한 이온 이동의 방지가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 층간소재와 페로브스카이트 광활성층 사이의 이온이동에 의한 열화현상을 관찰하고, 이를 억제하기 위해 페로브스카이트 소재와 은전극 사이에 버퍼층을 도입하여 소자의 안정성을 확보하였다. 85℃에서 300시간 이상 보관 시 버퍼가 없는 소자는 페로브스카이트 층이 PbI₂ 및 델타상으로 변화하며 변색되었으며 AgI가 형성되는 것을 확인했다. LiF와 SnO₂ 버퍼 도입 시 이온이동 억제 효과를 통해 페로브스카이트 태양전지의 열안정성이 향상되었다. LiF버퍼층 적용 및 봉지를 한 소자는 85℃-85%RH damp heat 시험 200시간 후 효율감소가 발생하지 않았으며 추가로 AM 1.5G-1SUN 하에서 최대출력점을 추적하였을 때 200시간 후 초기 효율의 90% 이상 유지하는 것을 확인했다. 이 결과는 버퍼층 형성을 통한 층간 물질이동 억제가 장기안정성을 확보하기 위한 필요조건임을 보여준다.

Organometal halide perovskite materials have attracted much attention in the photovoltaic and light emitting devices due to the compositional flexibility with AMX₃ formula (A is an organic amine cation; M is a metal ion; X is a halogen atom). The addition of homovalent or heterovalent metal cations to the bulk organohalide perovskites has been performed to modify their energy band structure and the relevant optoelectronic properties by ligand-assisted ball milling. Here, we report CH₃NH₃Pb_1-xM_xBr₃ nanocrystals substituted by metallic cations (M is Sn²⁺, In³⁺, Bi³⁺; x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2). Photoluminescence and quantum yield was significantly reduced with increasing metallic cations content. These quenching effect could be resulted from the metal cations that behave as a non-radiative recombination center.
