However, efficiencies are far inferior to those rigid counterparts. Herein, a novel histamine diiodate (HADI) is designed based on theoretical study modify the SnO2 /perovskite interface. Systematic experimental results reveal that HADI serves effectively as multifunctional agent mainly three aspects: 1) surface modification realign conduction band upward improve interfacial charge extraction; 2) passivating buried surface, 3) bridging between layers for effective transfer. Consequently, MA-free PSCs HADI-SnO2 electron transport layer (ETL) display not only high champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) 24.79% open-circuit voltage (VOC ) 1.20 V but also outstanding stability demonstrated by preserving 91% initial after being exposed ambient atmosphere 1200 h without any encapsulation.

Halide perovskites have shown superior potentials in flexible photovoltaics due to their soft and high power-to-weight nature. However, interfacial residual stress lattice mismatch the large deformation of substrates greatly limited performance perovskite solar cells (F-PSCs). Here, ammonium formate (HCOONH4 ) is used as a pre-buried additive electron transport layer (ETL) realize bottom-up infiltration process for an situ, integral modification ETL, layer, interface. The HCOONH4 treatment leads enhanced extraction relaxed strain micro-strain film, along with reduced defect densities within these layers. As result, top power conversion efficiency 22.37% certified 21.9% on F-PSCs are achieved, representing highest reported so far.
