dc.description.abstract | Improvement in the device performance of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) without hazardous doping gases and complex processes has been a long-standing aim for many researchers. In this work, we replaced the n-type Si layer in an a-Si:H TFSC with an interfacial dipole layer of conjugated polymer electrolyte material, poly [(9,9-bis(3'-(N,N-dimethylamino) propyl)-2,7-fiuorene)-alt-2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFN), while keeping the conventional layer scheme. The addition of PFN eliminated the process complexity, improved the device performance, and generated a built-in potential (V-bi) across the p-type Si layer. The power conversion efficiency of the optimized device reached a maximum of 7.17%, which is significant when using a toxicant-free layer. The open-circuit voltage was improved to 0.80 V from 0.47 V in comparison to a reference a-Si:H TFSC without PFN, and the stability in light and dark conditions were greatly enhanced. The fill factor was increased from 0.45 to 0.59 because of the enhancement in shunt/series resistance. The improvement in device performance is mainly due to the creation of an interfacial dipole by the PFN layer, which generated the VIA across the p-type Si layer, decreased the potential barrier between the i-Si layer and aluminum cathode, and consequently reduced the defects resulting from the coating of the i-Si layer and enhanced electron extraction. | - |
