Optimal alignment of the energy levels can improve the performance of perovskite solar cells. In this work, we show that energy level alignment can be enhanced by a vacuum-deposited zinc iodide (ZnI 2 ) layer inserted between tin perovskite and a C 60 electron transport layer. The open-circuit voltage of FA 0.75 MA 0.25 SnI 3 (FA: formamidinium; MA: methylammonium) solar cells increased by more than 0.1 V, while the power conversion efficiency increased from 10.2% to 12.8%. The shelf lifetimes of the devices are also improved. ZnI 2 interlayers are also effective with other perovskites compositions, such as FASnI 3 and PEA 0.15 FA 0.85 SnI 3 (PEA: phenethylammonium), with their device efficiencies increasing from 6.8% to 11.6% and from 6.2% to 9.5%, respectively. The energy level diagram, derived from Kelvin probe measurements, suggests that ZnI 2 interlayers reduce the band offset between perovskite and C 60 . As a result, the electron accumulation width in C 60 is reduced, mitigating nonradiative charge carrier recombination losses and increasing the device performance.
