Dipole reorientation and local density of optical states influence the emission of light-emittingelectrochemical cells
Herein, we analyze the temporal evolution of the electroluminescence of light-emitting electrochemicalcells (LECs), a thin-film light-emitting device, in order to maximize the luminous power radiated bythese devices. A careful analysis of the spectral and angular distribution of the emission of LECsfabricated under the same experimental conditions allows describing the dynamics of the spatial regionfrom which LECs emit,i.e.the generation zone, as bias is applied. This effect is mediated by dipolereorientation within such an emissive region and its optical environment, since its spatial drift yields adifferent interplay between the intrinsic emission of the emitters and the local density of …
High voltage vacuum-deposited CH3NH3PbI3-CH3NH3PbI3 tandem solar cells
The recent success of perovskite solar cells is based on two solid pillars: the rapid progress of their power conversion efficiency and their flexibility in terms of optoelectrical properties and processing methods. That versatility makes these devices ideal candidates for multi-junction photovoltaics. We report an optically optimized double junction CH3NH3PbI3–CH3NH3PbI3 tandem solar cell where the matched short-circuit current is maximized while parasitic absorption is minimized. The use of an additive vacuum-deposition protocol allows us to reproduce calculated stack designs, which comprise several charge selective materials that ensure appropriate band alignment and charge recombination…
