Separation of Hoke and Schottky effects for improvement of mixed halide perovskite solar cell stability

Ion migration in halide perovskites is a key factor limiting the operational stability of solar cells due to formation of halogen ion enriched domains and accumulation layers. The present work demonstrates the manifestation of ion migration in two ways via Hoke and Schottky effects. Both effects are induced by external exposure but have its peculiar way of solar cell performance degradation. We demonstrate the effects of ion migration on the device performance by measuring time dependent short-circuit current and different impedance characteristics that allow to see how charge-carrier separation property degrades. The Schottky effect leads to the rapid decrease of charge-carrier separation characteristic of solar cell while Hoke effect leads to the slow defect accumulation in the perovskite layer leading to the enhanced Shockley-Read-Hall recombination. Separation of these two effects can be realized by simple increase of transport layer thickness. A thick transport layer blocks losses of charge-carrier selectivity in a solar cell and leads to an enormous increase of T80 time, from 15 seconds up to 60 minutes.

Three-Dimensional Chiral MetaCrystals

Fine control of the chiral light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, by exploiting designed metamaterial architecture, represents a cutting-edge craft in the field of biosensing, quantum and classic nanophotonics. Recently, artificially engineered 3D nanohelices have demonstrated programmable wide chiroptical properties by tuning materials and architecture, but fundamental diffractive aspects that are to the origin of chiral resonances still remain elusive. Here, we proposed a novel concept of three-dimensional chiral MetaCrystal, where the chiroptical properties are finely tuned by in-plane and out-of-plane diffractive coupling. Different chiral dipolar modes can be excited along the helix arms, generating far field optical resonances and radiation pattern with in-plane side lobes and suggesting that a combination of efficient dipole excitation and diffractive coupling matching controls the collective oscillations among the neighbor helices in the chiral MetaCrystal. This concept enables the tailorability of chiral properties in a broad spectral range for a plethora of forefront applications, since the proposed compact chiral MetaCrystal can be suitable for integration with quantum emitters and can open perspectives in novel schemes of enantiomeric detection.
