RT Journal Article T1 Energy alignment and recombination in perovskite solar cells: weighted influence on the open circuit voltage A1 Gelmetti, Ilario A1 Montcada, Núria A1 Pérez-Rodríguez, Ana A1 Barrena, Esther A1 Ocal, Carmen A1 García Benito, Inés A1 Molina Ontoria, Agustín A1 Martín León, Nazario A1 Vidal-Ferran, Anton A1 Palomares, Emilio AB In this work, we assess the possible reasons for the differences observed in open circuit voltage (VOC) in mixed cation perovskite solar cells when comparing four different hole transport materials (HTMs), namely TAE-1, TAE-3, TAE-4 and spiro-OMeTAD. All these HTMs present close chemical and physical properties, however, once they are finally deposited onto the perovskite layer, the HTMs provide different performance characteristics. Additional to the evaluation of the HTM influence on recombination, we find that, upon deposition of the organic HTM on top of the perovskite, there is an important change in the energy level position, and the impact on the device VOC is discussed. We consider that this experimental observation could be general for other organic HTMs and would justify the difficulties in finding molecules and materials that could improve the efficiency of perovskite solar cells overcoming the solar-to-energy conversion efficiency of solar cells made using spiro-OMeTAD as a hole selective contact.
