2D/3D bilayers for stable solar cells
Résumé
The presentation will focus on the interplay between structural, interfacial and
optoelectronic properties of 2D multilayered halide perovskites, and their interfaces
with 3D perovskites. At present, perovskite materials are mixed with each other in
complex alloys and heterostructures, including 2D/3D compositions, combined with
additives or protecting layers to improve their stability as well as assembled with
carrier selective layers. After an introduction on 2D multilayered perovskites [1,2],
this talk will present recent experimental results in collaboration with Rice University
on a new versatile growth method to obtain 2D/3D perovskite bilayers, with tuning of
2D layer thickness and quantum confinement, and leading to excellent device
stability [3]. Theoretical analysis nicely explains the difference of performances for ni-
p or p-i-n devices [4].
