Inverted perovskite solar cells (IPSCs) suffer from perishing interface contact due to the non‐wetting hole‐transport layer (HTL). Herein, the several classes of solvent to the perovskite precursor (the process is defined as solvent‐additive engineering) for achieving an improvement in the interface contact between nonwetting HTL and active perovskite layer, suitably achieving improved hole‐interface charge transfer, are mixed. Also, a high‐quality perovskite layer with high crystallinity, large grain distribution, and flat surface morphology is obtained based on solvent‐additive engineering, which affords a lower bulk and interface trap density. IPSCs with the modified perovskite layer show suppression of nonradiative recombination on the surface and in the bulk of the perovskite, thereby achieving an outstanding power conversion efficiency of 20.6%. In addition, IPSCs using a mixed‐cation perovskite (FA0.83Cs0.07MA0.13PbI2.64Br0.39) are also fabricated and a highest efficiency of 22.1%, visualizing the broad applicability of this method, is achieved. This simple, low‐cost, and efficient solvent‐additive strategy can solve interface contact problems and improve perovskite quality, thus potentially giving rise to other applications.
A BAI layer was formed on the CH3NH3PbI3 surface, which was transformed into a 2D perovskite layer or the organic salt. Many measurements show that the 2D perovskite could effectively reduce the trap-assisted recombination and increase the stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
