説明
<jats:p>PEDOT:PSS/Si hybrid photovoltaic cells have been attracting attention as a potential way to simplify the manufacturing process and democratize solar energy production. Control of the PEDOT/Si interface is also one of the primary ways to ensure the improved performance and lifetimes of multijunction devices, such as perovskite/Si tandem solar cells. In this work, the effects of the interfacial silicon oxide layer were investigated by creating a novel and controllable neutral beam oxide interlayer with different thicknesses. A novel self-doped PEDOT (S-PEDOT) was used to improve interfacial contact and avoid the secondary doping of PEDOT:PSS. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the saturation of interfacial silicon atoms in SiOx-Si bonds as well as a very thin, (~1 nm) damage-free oxide interlayer were the keys to maintaining good passivation with a high tunneling current. Lifetime measurements also showed that the interlayers with the most SiO2 content degraded the least. The degradation of the devices was due to the continued growth of the oxide layer through reactions with silicon sub-oxides and the degradation of S-PEDOT.</jats:p>
