Abstract

Monolithic perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells with MoO x hole selective contact silicon bottom solar cells show a power conversion efficiency of 8%. A thin 15 nm-thick MoO x contact to n-type Si was used instead of a standard p + emitter to collect holes and the SiO x /n + poly-Si structure was deposited on the other side of the device for direct tunneling of electrons and this silicon bottom cell structure shows ~15% of power conversion efficiency. With this bottom carrier selective silicon cell, tin oxide, and subsequent perovskite structure were deposited to fabricate monolithic tandem solar cells. Monolithic tandem structure without ITO interlayer was also compared to confirm the role of MoO x in tandem cells and this tandem structure shows the power conversion efficiency of 3.3%. This research has confirmed that the MoO x layer simultaneously acts as a passivation layer and a hole collecting layer in this tandem structure.
