To enhance the performance of colloidal quantum dot solar cells, annealing is employed to improve the electrical conductivity of quantum dot films. This process increases the packing density of the film and aids in the removal of residues and solvents. However, conventional thermal annealing procedures expose the film to heat for long durations, ranging from minutes to tens of minutes. This prolonged exposure can lead to hydroxylation and oxidation of the surface of quantum dots, forming trap states within the bandgap and consequently reducing the photovoltaic device's power conversion efficiency (PCE). To address this issue, this study introduces flash lamp annealing, which operates on a millisecond scale. Through this method, charge transport properties are maintained while trap states are significantly reduced, thereby enhancing the PCE of solar cells. As a result, the open-circuit voltage increased to 0.66 V compared to 0.63 V for the control, improving PCE from 12.71% to 13.50%. |
