Abstract

The industrial-oriented mounting of cost-efficient solar cells with solution-processable methods, such as blade coating, has been investigated in the presented research. PbS colloidal quantum dots in the form of ink have been used to explore the characterisation and improvement of the reference p-i-n structure. Furthermore, SeMet and L-cysteine have been evaluated to substitute the MPA compound utilised for the p-type layer and to avoid the water dependence of the ligand. The introduction of alternative experimental methods and materials with respect to previous devices shows an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 9.42% and a considerable enhancement of the short-circuit current density (JSC).
