Optimizing Wide Bandgap Perovskite Crystallization with Novel Additives to Enhance Component Performance

Core Innovation Summary Innovation: By introducing Piracetam as a crystal modifier, we optimize the nucleation and grain boundary structure of wide bandgap perovskite (WBG, 1.77 eV), achieving large grain sizes (1 μm), preferred orientation ((110) crystal plane), and one-dimensional needle-like structures (1D (Pi)PbI₃), significantly enhancing device efficiency and stability. Implementation Method: Molecular Regulation: Piracetam binds … Read more

Wuhan University’s Ke Weijun in Nature Nanotechnology: Piracetam Shapes Wide-Bandgap Perovskite Crystals for Scalable Perovskite Tandems

Fully perovskite tandem solar cells (TSC) exhibit excellent performance and wide applicability. However, significant challenges remain in bridging the power conversion efficiency (PCE) gap between small-area and large-area (> 1cm2) devices, which poses a substantial barrier to the commercialization of fully perovskite TSC. In light of this, the team led by Ke Weijun at Wuhan … Read more
