Europium (II)-Doped All-Inorganic CsPbBr3 Perovskite Solar Cells with Carbon Electrodes

All-inorganic perovskite of CsPbBr 3 thin-films solar cells has attracted increasing interest in recent years due to its potential long-term stability over the generally used hybrid perovskites. Herein, all-inorganic CsPbBr 3 perovskites are doped with Eu 2+ to enhance the efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). The perovskite films exhibit a better crystallinity with smooth morphology after the introduction of rare-earth elements. Hence, the hole-transport layer-free device with presence of Eu 2+ and low-cost carbon electrode achieves both enhanced efficiency and stability. In particular, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) enhances from 5.66% to 7.28% with high V OC of 1.45 V by optimizing the doping concentration of Eu 2+ . In addition, the storage stability measurements reveal excellent performances of PCE without encapsulation in air with relative humidity of 70–80%. These results can pave changes in future inorganic PVSCs.
