Perovskite solar cells: Interfacial loss systems revealed
Losses take place in all solar cells. One cause is the recombination of cost carriers at the interfaces. Intermediate layers at such interfaces can reduce these losses via so-called passivation. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with a carbazole core are particularly well suited for the passivation of semiconductor surfaces constructed from perovskite products.
