Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are considered to be ideal energy devices, where perovskite-type organic metal halides act as light-absorbing materials. In PSCs, the photoexcitons are extracted and separated to afford high photoelectric conversion efficiency under the action of the built-in electric field (Ebi). However, the current challenge is that a low Ebi cannot provide a sufficient driving force to separate photonic excitons, which causes the captured charges to escape from the deep energy-level defect state. Here, the ferroelectric material barium titanate (BaTiO3) was directly introduced into the perovskite precursor solution to reduce the defection density (to 8.58 × 1017 cm−3) in PSCs and promote the separation of photoexcitons. Furthermore, the addition of BaTiO3 improved the quality of the perovskite film and significantly increased the photoelectric performance after the polarization treatment. This is mainly attributed to the residual polarization electric field generated by ferroelectric polarization, which increased the Ebi of the PSCs and the width of the depletion layer and inhibited the non-radiative recombination of carriers. This work provides a possibility to design and develop optoelectronic devices with high-efficiency optoelectronic response behavior.

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), light scattering, and lowering the series resistance of noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) provide positive effect on the performance of photovoltaic device. However, the exciton recombination on the noble metal NPs accompanying above influences will deteriorate the performance of device. In this report, surface-modified Ag@oxide (TiO 2 or SiO 2 ) nanoprisms with 1–2 nm shell thickness are developed. The thin film composed of P3HT/Ag@oxides and P3HT:PCBM/Ag@oxides is investigated by absorption, photoluminescence (PL), and transient absorption spectroscopy. The results show a significant absorption, PL enhancement, and long-lived photogenerated polaron in the P3HT/Ag@TiO 2 film, indicating the increase of photogenerated exciton population by LSPR of Ag nanoprisms. In the case of P3HT/Ag nanoprisms, partial PL quench and relatively short-lived photogenerated polaron are observed. That indicates that the oxides layer can effectively avoid the exciton recombination. When the Ag@oxide nanoprisms are introduced into the active layer of P3HT:PCBM photovoltaic devices, about 31% of power conversion efficiency enhancement is obtained relative to the reference cell. All these results indicate that Ag@oxides can enhance the performance of the cell, at the same time the ultrathin oxide shell prevents from the exciton recombination.
