Abstract Metal halide perovskite‐based devices can exhibit exceptional optoelectronic performance at relatively high defect densities, a phenomenon commonly referred to as tolerance, which is one of the most important features metal perovskites (MHPs). Defect tolerance previously thought be static property, determined solely by composition and manufacturing process. However, recent studies have shown that MHPs dynamic vary over time. For example, power conversion efficiency MHPs‐based solar cells has been found improve significantly under continuous illumination. Although this unique self‐optimization behavior MHPs, it seriously affect stability output in real‐world operating conditions. In view this, extensive research conducted, but physical mechanism photoinduced (DDT) remained inconclusive, both mechanisms experimental phenomena continue subjects controversy. Therefore, timely summarization on related DDT urgently needed. review, systematic overview first provided phenomena, characteristics, influencing factors DDT. Following that, proposed for are summarized, with focus carrier‐defect carrier‐lattice interactions. Finally, current challenges faced summarized an outlook future developments provided. This review aims offer comprehensive understanding enhance cells, thereby facilitating advancement commercialization these technologies.

Abstract Intense pulsed light (IPL) annealing has emerged as a transformative technology for the high‐throughput, low‐cost fabrication of perovskite films, enabling rapid conversion precursor wet films into within milliseconds. Despite their potential, efficiencies IPL‐processed devices have yet to match those achieved through conventional thermal (TA), primarily due challenges uncontrolled crystallization and defect formation during IPL process. In this study, solid Lewis base additive, dodecyl methyl sulfoxide (DodecylMSO) is introduced, modulate crystal growth improve film morphology uniformity under conditions. DodecylMSO acts sacrificial with X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirming majority it removed in final films. Compared control DodecylMSO‐modified exhibited significantly reduced densities enhanced carrier extraction transport properties. Leveraging approach, p‐i‐n solar cells (PSCs) demonstrated champion power efficiency 23.5% fabricated via IPL. This coordination strategy not only addresses key processing but also opens new avenues advancing manufacturability scalability high‐performance PSCs.

Despite showing great potential in lead-free green energy, tin-based perovskite materials still face challenges such as inherent material instability and energy level misalignment with the hole transport layer (HTL), which limits advancement of solar cells (Sn-PSCs). In this work, a natural antioxidant organic small molecule, thiolactic acid (TA), is used to modify interface between PEDOT:PSS film. The TA molecule can cross-link form network polymer regulate microstructure photoelectrical characteristics PEDOT:PSS. Meanwhile, contains C═O C─S groups, interact Sn2+ inhibit its oxidation. Moreover, introduction interfacial modification effectively improves morphology film, suppresses charge recombination, promotes carrier transport. Thus, TA-modified Sn-PSCs achieve champion power conversion efficiency 9.03%, surpassing 6.92% control PSCs. Even after being stored for 1000 h nitrogen atmosphere, unencapsulated devices maintain 95.4% their original PCE, compared only 66.5% devices. This study demonstrates significance PEDOT:PSS/tin-perovskite on stability Sn-PSCs.

Two-dimensional (2D) tin (Sn2+)-based perovskites have emerged as promising p-type semiconducting materials for (opto)electronic devices due to their favorable balance of electrical performance and structural stability. While previous studies on 2D predominantly investigated Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) with monoammonium spacers, Dion-Jacobson (DJ) diammonium spacers recently sparked attention in the research community. The strong hydrogen bonds at both ends spacer, connecting neighboring inorganic octahedral layers, promote stability efficient charge transport DJ perovskites.

Despite the remarkable progress of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), substantial inherent defects within perovskites restrict achievement higher efficiency and better long-term stability. Herein, we introduced a novel multifunctional imidazole analogue, namely, 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (BzMIMBr), into precursors to reduce bulk inhibit ion migration in inverted PSCs. The electron-rich environment −N– BzMIMBr structure, which is attributed adjacent benzene ring-conjugated effectively passivates uncoordinated Pb2+ cations. Moreover, interaction between additive can hinder deprotonation formamidinium iodide/methylammonium iodide (FAI/MAI), extending crystallization time improving quality films. This also inhibits subsequent deposited films, leading noteworthy decrease trap states. Various characterization studies show that BzMIMBr-doped films exhibit superior film morphology surface uniformity reduced nonradiative carrier recombination, consequently enhancing crystallinity by reducing bulk/surface defects. PSCs fabricated on thin power conversion 23.37%, surpassing pristine device (20.71%). Additionally, added substantially increased hydrophobicity perovskite, as unencapsulated devices still retained 93% initial after 1800 h exposure air (45% relative humidity).
