In this research, we focus on the PEDOT:PSS materials, which is widely utilized in the field of organic electronics. First, we applied customized transfer of PEDOT:PSS to inter-layer in planer-type perovskite photovoltaics. The transfer-printed PEDOT:PSS layer led to the favorable crystallinity of perovskite Especially, the better stability resulted from the preserved crystallinity, and the inhibition of the ITO degradation. Second, we fabricated a pH-controlled PEDOT:PSS adjusted by imidazole. The neutral PEDOT:PSS revealed superior and very consistent performance for various active area sizes due to the uniformity of the perovskite crystals. The stability also was enhanced by preventing degradation by strong acid. Finally, a hybrid of PEDOT:PSS and copper chalcogenide nanoparticles (NPs) was used for organic photodiode. Since the NPs formed energy barrier in PEDOT:PSS, the dark current of the device was remarkably suppressed, with excellent detectivity.
Although many efforts have been made to achieve a uniform perovskite film, the use of CH3NH3I:PbI2:DMSO (1:1:1) has been limited. This is because the intermediate phase and crystal phase can coexist in the precursor solution.[1] To solve this, a complex process was inevitably needed to ensure the uniformity.[2] Here, the quality of CH3NH3PbI3 film is simply improved via controlling nonstoichiometric molar ratio.[3] The uniform and dense perovskite layer was successfully fabricated by controlling the perovskite adduct formation. This demonstrated a critical point to improve current density and power conversion efficiency in perovskite photovoltaics. The synergistic effect of morphology and electrical properties has proved the optimized solubility for generating high current densities in inverted perovskite solar cells

Currently, perovskite containing organometal halides have issues for limited color range and low photoluminescence (PL). In this regard, we designed split-ligand mediated re-precipitation (Split-LMRP) as a unique synthesis method for improved stability and PL by separating octylamine and oleic acid (OA), compared to a conventional method. [Accepted manuscript] Octylamine adjusted the size of the nucleus as main ligand, while OA acted only as a stabilizer. Especially, the QDs based on Split-LMRP remained PL intensity after 5 days with strong PL emission and a high PL quantum yield (PLQY) of 91.5% due to the removal of most polar solvents during re-precipitation. In addition, the size of the QDs was adjusted constantly in the range of 2-5 nm depending on the concentration of octylamine. When the perovskite QDs were used as the intermediate layer of the perovskite solar cell, performance and reproducibility of the PSC were improved by forming stable phases.
