Highly flexible organo-metal halide perovskite solar cells based on silver nanowire–polymer hybrid electrodes

Abstract

Flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their broad application possibilities in next generation electronics. However, the commonly used transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs), such as indium tin oxide (ITO), suffer from poor flexible performance, impeding the development of FPSCs. Here, we propose a hybrid electrode (PUA/AgNWs/PH1000) comprising a thin percolation network of silver nanowires (AgNWs) inlaid on the surface of a flexible substrate (PUA) modified with a conductive layer (PH1000), which exhibits high optical transmittance and electrical conductivity, as well as robust mechanical flexibility. By applying the proposed PUA/AgNWs/PH1000 hybrid electrode in FPSCs, the resulting ITO-free devices exhibit the desired flexibility and mechanical stability; it can survive repeated continuous bending cycles and retain 77.4% of its initial power conversion efficiency after 10 000 bending cycles with the bending radius of 5 mm.
