Photovoltaic technology with low weight, high specific power in cold environments, and compatibility flexible fabrication is highly desired for near-space vehicles polar region applications. Herein, we demonstrate efficient low-temperature perovskite solar cells by improving the interfacial contact between electron-transport layer (ETL) layer. We find that adsorbed oxygen active sites vacancies of tin oxide (SnO2 ) ETL can be effectively decreased incorporating a trace amount titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4 ). The effective defects elimination at increases electron mobility SnO2 layer, regulates band alignment perovskite/SnO2 interface, induces larger crystal growth, improves charge collection efficiency complete cell. Correspondingly, improved transforms into high-performance under one-sun illumination (AM 1.5G) efficiencies up to 23.7 % 218 K, which might open new era application this emerging photovoltaic environments such as regions.

Perovskite crystal facets greatly impact the performance and stability of their corresponding photovoltaic devices. Compared to (001) facet, (011) facet yields better photoelectric properties, including higher conductivity enhanced charge carrier mobility. Thus, achieving facet-exposed films is a promising way improve device performance. However, growth energetically unfavorable in FAPbI3 perovskites due influence methylammonium chloride additive. Here, 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium ([4MBP]Cl) was used expose facets. The [4MBP]+ cation selectively decreases surface energy enabling plane. causes perovskite nuclei rotate by 45° such that stack along out-of-plane direction. has excellent transport properties can achieve better-matched level alignment. In addition, [4MBP]Cl increases activation barrier for ion migration, suppressing decomposition perovskite. As result, small-size (0.06 cm2) module (29.0 based on exposure achieved power conversion efficiencies 25.24% 21.12%, respectively.
