A nitrogen-donor crown ether is developed as a positive defect passivator in metal-halide perovskite solar cells, reducing the electron trap density and improving the build-in potential. The addition of a small amount of nitrogen-donor crown ether significantly enhances the efficiency and stability of the solar cells.
Positively charged cationic defects are the main source of defects in metal-halide perovskite solar cells. They determine the quasi-Fermi level of electrons under illumination and contribute to non-radiative recombination loss, causing an open-circuit voltage deficit. In addition, they act as ion migration pathways for halide hopping, thus deteriorating long-term stability. Herein, a nitrogen-donor crown ether as a positive defect passivator is developed, which demonstrates a soft Lewis base nature, a large donor number and a higher formation constant with positively charged cationic defects. Density functional theory calculation indicates that the electron-donating nitrogen atom dramatically increases the electron density of oxygen atoms, leading to a strong affinity with positively charged cationic defects (Pb2+ and Cs+). The electron trap density in perovskite is significantly reduced by 27 %, resulting in an increased build-in potential. By adding a small amount of nitrogen-donor crown ether to the precursor solution, the perovskite solar cells achieve an efficiency of 24.07 % with an open-circuit voltage of 1.174 V and a fill factor of 82.15 %. Moreover, the unencapsulated perovskite solar cells show a T-80 lifetime of 510 h under continuous operation (1 sun equivalent illumination, maximum power point tracking condition, dry N-2 atmosphere), and enhanced moisture and heat stability.
