Orientated crystallization of FA-based perovskite via hydrogen-bonded polymer network for efficient and stable solar cells

Mubai Li et al.

Summary: Incorporating mixed ion is a commonly used strategy to stabilize black-phase formamidinium lead iodide perovskite for high-efficiency solar cells. However, these devices commonly suffer from photoinduced phase segregation and humidity instability. The research found that the mixed halide perovskites generally fail to grow into a homogenous and high-crystalline film due to multiple pathways of crystal nucleation. To address this issue, a multifunctional fluorinated additive was designed to restrain the intermediate phases and promote oriented crystallization of the a-phase of perovskite. The polymerized additives in the perovskite film formation formed a hydrogen-bonded network to stabilize the a-phase and imparted a strongly hydrophobic effect to the film against liquid water.

Bifunctional modified biopolymer for highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells and modules

He Guo et al.

Summary: In this study, a sulfonic acid group was introduced into poly-L-lysine (PLL) via a one-step ring-opening reaction to modify the interface between the TiO2 and perovskite layers. The sulfonic acid group in PLLS improved the electron transport layer by reducing oxygen vacancies and defects on the surface of the TiO2 film. Additionally, amine groups passivated deep-level defects on the surface of the perovskite, reducing non-radiative recombination. The modified PLLS significantly increased the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the solar cell devices and showed good stability.

Revealing the strain-associated physical mechanisms impacting the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells

Wei Meng et al.

Summary: Identification and investigation of strain at buried interfaces in halide perovskite photovoltaics are crucial for directing research on the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells. In this work, we find that interfacial strain causes a gradual shift in the band gap, which is desired for device engineering. However, the increased defect density leads to charge recombination and ion migration, resulting in decreased performance.

Perovskite solar cells with atomically coherent interlayers on SnO2 electrodes

Hanul Min et al.

Summary: By introducing an interlayer between the electron-transporting and perovskite layers in perovskite solar cells, researchers have successfully enhanced charge extraction and transport from the perovskite, leading to higher power conversion efficiency and fewer interfacial defects. The coherent interlayer allowed the fabrication of devices with a certified efficiency of 25.5%, which maintained about 90% of its initial efficiency even after continuous light exposure for 500 hours. The findings provide guidelines for designing defect-minimizing interfaces in metal halide perovskites and electron-transporting layers.
