It is well-known that the surface topography investigation of the active layer of solar cells is very important. The rough surface reduces the PCE of solar cells owing to the increase in charge carriers'' recombination. Fig. 8 represents the surface topography of the active layers recorded by AFM in tapping-mode.
Illustration of the relevant energy levels and transitions for charge generation and recombination in organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells. The nongeminate recombination of electrons and holes from the charge separated (CS) state to the electronic ground state involves the formation of a charge transfer (CT) pair as intermediate.
Charge-transport-layer-free perovskite solar cells (TL-free PSCs) are promising candidates for advanced photovoltaic technologies because of their facile fabrication and low-cost potential. Although the efficiency of TL-free PSCs still lags far behind that of the conventional PSCs, this work develops an all-solution strategy for the …

While the 2D/3D heterojunction is an effective method to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), carriers are often confined in the quantum wells (QWs) due to the unique structure of 2D perovskite, which makes the charge transport along the out-of-plane direction difficult.

We show experimentally for silicon heterojunction solar cells that the silicon absorber supports lateral minority charge carrier transport for well-passivated devices.
