Popis: Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite has been verified as a suitable semiconductor for hot carrier solar cells via transient absorption spectroscopy. Recently, an internally photoemitted hot carrier (IPHC) solar cell with a novel and innovative structure based on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite has been achieved. This is a breakthrough in hot carrier study based on perovskite material. To further improve the performance of this newly developed hot electron collection device, a simple and efficient method of adding lithium fluoride (LiF) surface modification layer was applied onto the outmost perovskite layer that benefits both reduction of the trap states and formation of interface dipoles. The IPHC device with LiF modification layer shows a remarkable increase of the short-circuit current density with 20.31% increment. This successful interface engineering proposes a new guideline for further optimizing the performance IPHC and also traditional solar cells based on perovskite.
