“…They realized that holes need to be transported through tunneling, so the Al 2 O 3 passivation layer must be very thin, as thin as about 1 nm. In addition, Al 2 O 3 can also act as an encapsulant . Bai et al designed a new method to wrap the perovskite grains with oligomeric silica (OS) to form a core–shell structure, which not only passivated the surface and grain boundaries, but also fine‐tuned the grain size ( Figure 9 a) .…”

The disorderly distribution of defects in the perovskite or at the grain boundaries, surfaces, and interfaces, which seriously affect carrier transport through the formation of nonradiative recombination centers, hinders the further improvement on the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Several defect passivation strategies have been confirmed as an efficient approach for promoting the performance of PSCs. Herein, recent progress in the defect passivation toward efficient perovskite solar cells are summarized, and a classification of common passivation strategies that elaborate the mechanism according to the location of the defects and the type of passivation agent is presented. Finally, this review offers likely prospects for future trends in the development of passivation strategies.

“…Instabilities include i) material degradation when exposed to heat, UV light and moisture, and ii) operational hysteresis under different bias scan direction and rates . Solar cell degradation by heat stress could be categorized as an intrinsic that can be alleviated by improving the perovskite material itself and the transport layers such as spiro‐MeOTAD that degrade at high temperatures . UV instability is mainly related to TiO 2 as discussed in the previous section.…”

Perovskite solar cells contain various defects within the perovskite absorber and the corresponding interfaces, affecting device performance and stability. Fortunately, there have been tremendous efforts in advancing passivation techniques contributing to high‐efficiency perovskite solar cell with improved stability. Here, the state‐of‐the‐art passivation approaches for each layer of the perovskite cell with the aim of improving carrier extraction, reducing carrier recombination, and/or improving cell stability are reviewed. Passivation of the electron transport layer can improve the stability of perovskite solar cells by reducing trap states or by physically separating the transport layer from contacting perovskite. Controlling the amount of PbI2 in the perovskite precursor has been found to be effective in passivating defect states at the grain boundaries and on the surface. Additives such as elemental iodine, organic surfactants, and Group 1 metal compounds incorporated in perovskite precursors have been reported to passivate recombination trap centers. These approaches have also contributed to improved energy band alignment between carrier transport layers and perovskite absorber improving device performance. An effective strategy to improve moisture stability is the use of 2D perovskites or hydrophobic large cation molecules forming 2D or quasi‐2D phases at grain boundaries or film surfaces providing passivation and preventing moisture ingress.
