Organic–inorganic perovskite structures in which lead is substituted by tin are exceptional candidates for broadband light absorption. Herein we present a thorough analysis of the optical properties of CH3NH3SnxPb1−xI3 films, providing the field with definitive insights about the possibilities of these materials for perovskite solar cells of superior efficiency. We report a user's guide based on the first set of optical constants obtained for a series of tin/lead perovskite films, which was only possible to measure due to the preparation of optical quality thin layers. According to the Shockley–Queisser theory, CH3NH3SnxPb1−xI3 compounds promise a substantial enhancement of both short circuit photocurrent and power conversion efficiency in single junction solar cells. Moreover, we propose a novel tandem architecture design in which both top and bottom cells are made of perovskite absorbers. Our calculations indicate that such perovskite-on-perovskite tandem devices could reach efficiencies over 35%. Our analysis serves to establish the first roadmap for this type of cells based on actual optical characterization data. We foresee that this study will encourage the research on novel near-infrared perovskite materials for photovoltaic applications, which may have implications in the rapidly emerging field of tandem devices ; The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013)/ERC grant agreement no. 307081 (POLIGHT), the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness under grant MAT2014-54852-R.

Carbon-based electrodes represent a promising approach to improve stability and up-scalability of perovskite photovoltaics. The temperature at which these contacts are processed defines the absorber grain size of the perovskite solar cell: in cells with low-temperature carbon-based electrodes (L-CPSCs), layer-by-layer deposition is possible, allowing perovskite crystals to be large (>100 nm), while in cells with high-temperature carbon-based contacts (H-CPSCs), crystals are constrained to 10-20 nm size. To enhance the power conversion efficiency of these devices, the main loss mechanisms were identified for both systems. Measurements of charge carrier lifetime, quasi-Fermi level splitting (QFLS) and light-intensity-dependent behavior, supported by numerical simulations, clearly demonstrate that H-CPSCs strongly suffer from non-radiative losses in the perovskite absorber, primarily due to numerous grain boundaries. In contrast, large crystals of L-CPSCs provide long carrier lifetime (1.8 µs) and exceptionally high QFLS of 1.21 eV for an absorber bandgap of 1.6 eV. These favorable characteristics explain the remarkable open-circuit voltage (VOC) of over 1.1 V in hole-selective layer-free L-CPSCs. However, the low photon absorption and poor charge transport in these cells limit their potential. Finally, effective strategies are provided to reduce non-radiative losses in H-CPSCs, transport losses in L-CPSCs and to improve photon management in both cell types. ; This work has been partially funded within the projects PROPER financed from the German Ministry of Education and Research under funding number 01DR19007 and UNIQUE supported under umbrella of SOLAR-ERA.NET_cofund by ANR, PtJ, MIUR, MINECO-AEI and SWEA, within the EU's HORIZON 2020 Research and Innovation Program (cofund ERA-NET Action No. 691664).

High-pressure photoelectron spectroscopy is a rapidly developing technique with applications in a wide range of fields ranging from fundamental surface science and catalysis to energy materials, environmental science, and biology. At present the majority of the high-pressure photoelectron spectrometers are situated at synchrotron end stations, but recently a small number of laboratory-based setups have also emerged. In this paper we discuss the design and performance of a new laboratory based high pressure photoelectron spectrometer equipped with an Al Ka X-ray anode and a hemispherical electron energy analyzer combined with a differentially pumped electrostatic lens. The instrument is demonstrated to be capable of measuring core level spectra at pressures up to 30 mbar. Moreover, valence band spectra of a silver sample as well as a carbon-coated surface (graphene) recorded under a 2 mbar nitrogen atmosphere are presented, demonstrating the versatility of this laboratory-based spectrometer. ; Funding Agencies|Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA); Swedish Research Council [621-2010-4799]; Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation; Royal Society [UF100105]; EPSRC; EPSRC [EP/K004913/1, EP/J021199/1]

AbstractImproving the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells is critical to the deployment of this technology. Despite the great emphasis laid on stability-related investigations, publications lack consistency in experimental procedures and parameters reported. It is therefore challenging to reproduce and compare results and thereby develop a deep understanding of degradation mechanisms. Here, we report a consensus between researchers in the field on procedures for testing perovskite solar cell stability, which are based on the International Summit on Organic Photovoltaic Stability (ISOS) protocols. We propose additional procedures to account for properties specific to PSCs such as ion redistribution under electric fields, reversible degradation and to distinguish ambient-induced degradation from other stress factors. These protocols are not intended as a replacement of the existing qualification standards, but rather they aim to unify the stability assessment and to understand failure modes. Finally, we identify key procedural information which we suggest reporting in publications to improve reproducibility and enable large data set analysis. ; S.D.S. acknowledges the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (HYPERION, grant agreement no. 756962), and the Royal Society and Tata Group (UF150033).

Making large datasets findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable could accelerate technology development. Now, Jacobsson et al. present an approach to build an open-access database and analysis tool for perovskite solar cells. Large datasets are now ubiquitous as technology enables higher-throughput experiments, but rarely can a research field truly benefit from the research data generated due to inconsistent formatting, undocumented storage or improper dissemination. Here we extract all the meaningful device data from peer-reviewed papers on metal-halide perovskite solar cells published so far and make them available in a database. We collect data from over 42,400 photovoltaic devices with up to 100 parameters per device. We then develop open-source and accessible procedures to analyse the data, providing examples of insights that can be gleaned from the analysis of a large dataset. The database, graphics and analysis tools are made available to the community and will continue to evolve as an open-source initiative. This approach of extensively capturing the progress of an entire field, including sorting, interactive exploration and graphical representation of the data, will be applicable to many fields in materials science, engineering and biosciences. ; Funding Agencies|European UnionEuropean Commission [841386, 795079, 840751, 787289, 764787, 756962, 764047, 850937]; Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin fur Materialien und Energie; Cambridge India Ramanujan Scholarship; China Scholarship CouncilChina Scholarship Council; Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD)Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD); EPSRCUK Research & Innovation (UKRI)Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) [EP/S009213/1]; GCRF/EPSRC SUNRISEUK Research & Innovation (UKRI)Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) [EP/P032591/1]; German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF)Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF) [03XP0091, ZT-0024, 03SF0540, 03SF0557A]; Helmholtz Energy Materials Foundry; The Helmholtz Innovation Laboratory HySPRINT; HyPerCells graduate school; Helmholtz AssociationHelmholtz Association; Helmholtz International Research School (HI-SCORE); Erasmus programme (CDT-PV) [EP/L01551X/1]; European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant) [841386, 795079, 840751]; Royal Society University Research FellowshipRoyal Society of London [UF150033]; SNaPSHoTs (BMBF)Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF); SPARC II; German Research Foundation (DFG)German Research Foundation (DFG) [SPP2196]; National Natural Science Foundation of ChinaNational Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) [51872014]; Recruitment Programme of Global Experts; Fundamental Research Funds for the Central UniversitiesFundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities; 111 projectMinistry of Education, China - 111 Project [B17002]; US Department of Energys Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) agreementUnited States Department of Energy (DOE) [DE-EE0008551]; Colombia Scientific Programme [FP44842-218-2018]; committee for the development of research (CODI) of the Universidad de Antioquia [2017-16000]; Spanish MINECOSpanish Government [SEV-2015-0522]; Swedish research council (VR)Swedish Research Council [2019-05591]; Swedish Energy AgencySwedish Energy AgencyMaterials & Energy Research Center (MERC) [2020-005194]
