Özet
This study delves into the examination of the efficiency, stability, and repeatability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), a focal point in contemporary photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The aim is to address the challenges encountered in PSCs. To achieve this goal, Ge-doped polyoxometalate, a structure of significance in recent molecular electronics, was employed as a dopant in the hole transport layer (HTL). The study investigated alterations in the conductivity, improvements in efficiency, and changes in PV parameters. The utilization of PEDOT/PSS doped with a maximum of 2% GePOM resulted in an average efficiency increase of 27% in PSCs compared with the reference. Moreover, enhancements in stability and repeatability were also noted. Comparatively, the reference PSC operated at an efficiency of 11.18%, while PSCs incorporating 2% GePOM into PEDOT/PSS as the HTL exhibited a notable increase in the efficiency, reaching 14.22%. Furthermore, the champion device exhibited an observed fill factor value of 0.74, a short-circuit current density (Jsc) value of 19.78 mA/cm2, and an open-circuit voltage (Voc) value of 0.98 V. Consequently, noteworthy enhancements have been noticed in the PV parameters of PSCs with the introduction of GePOM doping. © 2025 The Authors. Published by American Chemical Society.
