Due to their excellent thermal stability and ideal bandgap, metal halide inorganic perovskite based solar cells (PSCs) with inverted structure are considered as an choice for perovskite/silicon tandem cells. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of still lags far behind that conventional n-i-p PSCs due interfacial energy level mismatch high nonradiative charge recombination. Herein, performance is significantly improved by engineering CsPbI3-x Brx films 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI). It found mercapto group can preferably react undercoordinated Pb2+ from forming Pb-S bonds, which appreciably reduces surface trap density. Moreover, MMI modification results in a better alignment electron-transporting material, promoting carrier transfer reducing voltage deficit. The above combination open-circuit enhancement 120 mV, yielding champion PCE 20.6% 0.09 cm2 area 17.3% 1 area. Furthermore, ambient, operational heat stabilities also greatly improved. work demonstrates simple but effective approach fabricating highly efficient stable PSCs.

Abstract CsPbI 3 perovskite receives tremendous attention for photovoltaic applications due to its ideal band gap and good thermal stability. However, solar cells (PSCs) significantly suffer from photovoltage deficits because of serious interfacial energy losses within the PSCs, which a large extent affects performance PSCs.

Abstract Despite remarkable progress in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the unsatisfying stability strongly interrelated with defect density remains main obstacle for commercialization. Herein, a synergetic passivation method is judiciously designed that consists of precursor engineering strategy based on an ionic liquid 1‐butylsulfonate‐3‐methylimidazolium dihydrogen phosphate (BMDP), and two‐stage annealing (TSA) treatment to sufficiently passivate defects enhance performance further. It found multifunctional groups from BMDP have strong chemical interactions form chelated complexes components thus effectively passivating intrinsic defects. Synergized by sequential TSA treatment, formed hydrophobic can be precisely controlled filling along grain boundaries (GBs) surfaces, leading wrapping grains significant GBs. Consequently, both deep‐ shallow‐level bulk, at GBs surface are passivated, resulting champion efficiency 24.20%.
