    Abstract Ion-beam sputtering offers significant benefits in terms of deposition uniformity and pinhole-free thin-films without limiting the scalability of the process. In this work, the reactive ion-beam sputtering of nickel oxide has been developed for the hole transporting layer of a p-i-n perovskite solar cells (PCSs). The process is carried out by oxidation of the scattered Ni particles with additional post-treatment annealing regimes. Using deposition rate of 1.2 nm/min allowed growth of very uniform NiO coating with the roughness below 0.5 nm on polished Si wafer (15x15 cm2). We performed a complex investigation of structural, optical, surface and electrical properties of the NiO thin-films. The post-treatment annealing (150-300C) was considered as an essential process for improvement of the optical transparency, decrease of defects concentration and gain of the charge carrier mobility. As result, the annealed ion-beam sputtered NiO films delivered a power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 20.14%, while device without post-treatment reached the value of 11.84%. The improvement of the output performance originated from an increase of the short-circuit current density (Jsc), open circuit voltage (Voc), shunt and contact properties in the devices. We also demonstrate that the ion-beam sputtering of NiO can be successfully implemented for the fabrication of large area modules (54.5 cm2) and PSCs on a flexible plastic substrate (125 microns).

    Abstract Study of the local optical properties using electron beam (e-beam) can provide a valuable information concerning the inspection of the materials quality, the presence of the different phase inclusions and defects. Halide perovskites have been shown to be highly sensitive to external stress conditions like ambient atmosphere, light, and heat. In this paper, the cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy has been exploited to carry out the investigation of CH3NH3PbBr3 monocrystals under low energy electron beam irradiation. The CL spectra exhibited strong transformation with the increase of the irradiation dose and significant shifts of the peak maximums from 2.23 eV to >2.5 eV. Utilizing a larger e-beam energy (>20 keV) was found to be preferable to slow down the dynamics of the decomposition and corrosion. The mechanisms of the changes in MAPbBr3 properties after e-beam exposure and correlation to the in-depth distribution of deposited energy were discussed.

    Abstract Metal halide perovskite solar cells being one of the fastest emerging technologies for renewable energy still has to become more industry friendly in a way that will allow using it for thin film modules or tandems with conventional silicon devices. The simplest way to achieve this is to use chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique for tandem production. In this work, we show a method for a single step production of MAPbI3 films in a simple two-zone CVD reactor from lead diacetate and methyl-ammonium iodide powders. Obtained films show highly ordered cubic MAPbI3 phase with a thickness of 400-500 um, good photoluminescence response and absorption band edge similar to spin-coated film. We used those films to produce p-i-n solar cells with ITO/NiO/MAPbI3/C60/Cu structure. The best cell showed negligible 0.23 % PCE right after the manufacturing but significantly improved to 5.5 % PCE after 8 hours of storage in the dark. The main limiting factor affecting the efficiency is low current density, which we attribute to non-optimized growth conditions; however, our approach is a first step to a single step CVD deposition of MAPbI3 on any type of substrates including texturized silicon subcells for better overall efficiency.

    Abstract Interface engineering is one of the promising strategies for the long-term stabilization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), preventing chemical decomposition induced by external agents and promoting fast charge transfer. Recently, MXenes-2D structured transition metal carbides and nitrides with various functionalization (O, -F, -OH) have demonstrated high potential for mastering the work function in halide perovskite absorbers and have significantly improved the n-type charge collection in solar cells. This work demonstrates that MXenes allow for efficient stabilization of PSCs besides improving their performances. A mixed composite bathocuproine:MXene, that is, (BCP:MXene) interlayer, is introduced at the interface between an electron-transport layer (ETL) and a metal cathode in the p-i-n device structure. The investigation demonstrates that the use of BCP:MXene interlayer slightly increases the power conversation efficiency (PCE) for PSCs (from 16.5 for reference to 17.5%) but dramatically improves the out of Glove-Box stability. Under ISOS-L-2 light soaking stress at 63 ± 1.5 °C, the T80 (time needed to reduce efficiency down to 80% of the initial one) period increases from 460 to > 2300 hours (h).

    Abstract Interface engineering is one of the promising strategies for the long-term stabilization of perovskite solar cells, preventing chemical decomposition induced by external agents and promoting fast charge transfer. Recently, MXenes-2D structured transition metal carbides and nitrides with various functionalization (=O,-F,-OH) demonstrated high potential for mastering the work function in halide perovskite absorbers and significantly improved the n-type charge collection in solar cells. This work demonstrates that MXenes allow for efficient stabilization of perovskite solar cells besides improving their performances. We introduce a new mixed composite bathocuproine:MXene, i.e., (BCP:MXene) interlayer at the interface between an electron-transport layer (ETL) and a metal cathode in the p-in device structure. Our investigation demonstrates that the use of BCP:MXene interlayer slightly increases the power conversation efficiency (PCE) for PSCs (from 16.5 for reference to 17.5%) but dramatically improves the out of Glove-Box stability. Under ISOS-L-2 light soaking stress at 63$\pm$ 1.5{\textdegree}C, The T80 (time needed to reduce efficiency down to 80% of the initial one) period increased from 460 h to > 2300 h.

    Abstract In this study, we present a complex investigation for miniaturizing of perovskite photodiodes (PPDs) in various geometries with use of ultraviolet laser scribing (UV-LS). Employing a 355 nm (3.5 eV) pulsed laser at 30 kHz, we successfully manufactured PPDs with pixel configurations of 70x130 um2, 520x580 um2, and 2000x2000 um2. The utilization of UV-LS has a proven efficiency in achieving relevant diode characteristics, such as low dark currents and high shunt resistance, as well as ultrafast response. The multi-step scribing cycle provided precise patterning of perovskite photodiodes (PPDs) in a string design. The dark current densities demonstrated exceptional uniformity, ranging from 10-10 A/cm2 for 2000x2000 um2 pixelated PPDs to 10-9 A/cm2 for the 70x130 um2 configuration. The string PPDs, consisting of 10 pixels per string, displayed homogenous dark current values, ensuring effective isolation between devices. Under green light illumination (540 nm), all PPD types exhibited a broad Linear Dynamic Range (LDR). Specifically, LDR values reached 110 dB, 117 dB, and 136 dB for 70x130, 520x580, and 2000x2000 devices, respectively, spanning an illumination intensity range from 2*10-3 mW/cm2 to 2 mW/cm2. High responsivity values up to 0.38 A/W, depending on the PPDs geometry, highlight the potential of laser scribing devices for sensing in the visible range. The calculated specific detectivity performance (from 1011 to 1013 Jones) surpasses commercial analogs, while the sub-microsecond response of 70x130 um2 and 520x580 um2 miniaturized devices underscores their suitability for precise time resolution detection systems.

    Abstract A novel triphenylamine-based hole transport material (HTM) with a carboxyl anchoring group (TPATC) was developed for tuning the interface between nanocrystalline NiO and double cation CsCH3(NH2)2PbI3-xClx absorber in p-i-n device architectures. We present a unique comprehensive confinement study of PSCs with TPATC as the self-assembled HTM, including analysis of numerical defect parameters, phase composition evolution, and up-scaling capabilities. Our investigation shows that the ultrathin TPATC interlayer effectively passivates traps, increases work-function of HTL by about ~0.2 eV, and enhances the charge carrier extraction efficiency. Advanced transient spectroscopy measurements revealed that modification of the NiO surface with TPATC in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) reduces the concentration of ionic defects by an order of magnitude. Interface engineering with TPATC allowed to reach power conversion efficiency of 20.58% for small area devices (0.15 cm2) under standard AM 1.5 G conditions. Using TPATC interlayer also provided stabilized performance of PSCs under operation conditions and improved sustainability of the perovskite absorber to decomposition. After continuous light-soaking (1000 h, ISOS-L-2 protocol), NiO/TPATC devices showed a slight decrease of 2% in maximum power. In contrast, NiO PSCs demonstrated decrease in power output (>20%) after 400 h. We explored the potential of TPATC to modify interfaces in large-area perovskite solar modules (PSM, active area-64.8 cm2, 12 sub-cells). By applying slot-die-coated TPATC, the PCE at AM 1.5 G conditions increased from 13.22% for NiO PSM to 15.64% for NiO/TPATC ones. This study provides new insights into the interface engineering for p-i-n perovskite solar cells, behavior of the ionic defects and their contribution to the long-term stability.

    Abstract During the last years, giant optical anisotropy has demonstrated its paramount importance for light manipulation. In spite of recent advances in the field, the achievement of continuous tunability of optical anisotropy remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we present a solution to the problem through the chemical alteration of halogen atoms in single-crystal halide perovskites. As a result, we manage to continually modify the optical anisotropy by 0.14. We also discover that the halide perovskite can demonstrate optical anisotropy up to 0.6 in the visible range─the largest value among non-van der Waals materials. Moreover, our results reveal that this anisotropy could be in-plane and out-of-plane depending on perovskite shape─rectangular and square. As a practical demonstration, we have created perovskite anisotropic nanowaveguides and shown a significant impact of anisotropy on high-order guiding modes. These findings pave the way for halide perovskites as a next-generation platform for tunable anisotropic photonics.
