Manipulating the interface between Spiro-OMeTAD and perovskite using copper acetylacetonate can improve the stability and performance of perovskite solar cells by constructing ligand bridges and suppressing interface defects.
Manipulating interface defects can minimize interfacial nonradiative recombination, thus increasing the stability and performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, copper acetylacetonate [Cu(acac)(2)] as a passivator is used to treat the interface between Spiro-OMeTAD and perovskite. Owing to the strong chelation, the uncoordinated Pb2+ could react with -C=O/-COH functional groups, firmly anchoring acetylacetonate at this interface or the grain boundaries (GBs) of perovskite films to construct multiple ligand bridges, accompanied by the p-type copper iodide formation with copper substituting lead. Simultaneously, Cu+-Cu2+ pairs transfer electrons from Pb-0 to I-0, suppressing deep level defects of Pb-0 and I-0 near the perovskite interface. These can be beneficial to hole-transferring. Moreover, the Schiff base complexes with hydrophobicity, from the reaction of acetylacetonate with perovskite, can lead to tightly packed adjacent perovskite surfaces and self-seal the GBs of the perovskite, inhibiting moisture diffusion for long-term stability. Consequently, the Cu(acac)(2)-based PSC has achieved more than 24% champion efficiency while retaining ca. 92% of the initial power conversion efficiency after 1680 h of storage.
