Efficient Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells with a Low-Dimensional Halide/Perovskite Heterostructure

摘要

The photovoltaic performance of inverted (positive-intrinsic-negative) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is predominantly limited by interfacial recombination loss. Here, by constructing a low-dimensional halide/perovskite heterostructure, non-radiative recombination pathways at the perovskite/C_(60) contact are effectively eliminated and a voltage loss of only 370 mV is achieved in inverted PSCs. Through molecular engineering of the organic spacer, a strong electronic coupling is enabled at the heterointerface, which effectively shifts the gap states out of the bandgap and leads to a prolonged carrier lifetime of 4.28 μs. Our strategy enables a power conversion efficiency of 24.09 (certified 23.54) for inverted PSCs with an open-circuit voltage of 1204 mV, and an efficiency of 21.89 (certified 21.48) for centimeter-scale cells. The devices retain 92 of the initial efficiency after 85 ℃ thermal aging for over 1400 h, and 95 of the initial efficiency after 1008 h of maximum power point operation under AM1.5G illumination in air.
