    摘要: Lead halide perovskites have proven to be a versatile class of visible light absorbers that allow rapid access to the long minority carrier lifetimes and diffusion lengths desirable for traditional single-junction photovoltaics. Computational screening identified both Fe- and Co-substituted MAPbBr3 as promising intermediate band candidate materials, and the later films were synthesized via conventional solution-based processing techniques. First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations support the existence of intermediate bands upon Co incorporation and enhanced sub-gap absorption, which are confirmed by UV-visible-NIR absorption spectroscopy. The simple tenability combined with steady state and time-resolved PL studies that reveal no sign of self-quenching suggest this class of materials to be promising for intermediate band photovoltaics.
