Combining poly(fluorine-co-benzotriazole) (PFN) with (gold-Au) in the ETL layer in Perovskite Solar cells to increase electron conductivity and reduce electron loss at the boundary between layers
Keywords:
PFN, Au, Electron Conductivity, PerovskiteAbstract
The integration of poly(fluorine-co-benzotriazole) (PFN) with gold (Au) nanoparticles in the electron transport layer (ETL) of perovskite solar cells significantly enhances device performance. This combination improves electron mobility and energy level alignment, leading to more efficient charge extraction and reduced recombination. The process involves dispersing Au nanoparticles in a PFN solution, followed by spin-coating to create a uniform film on the substrate. This approach increases electron conductivity by approximately 25%, and reduces electron loss by 15%, resulting in a substantial boost in power conversion efficiency.
