Inverted p-i-n perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are easy to process but need improved interface characteristics with reduced energy loss prevent efficiency drops when increasing the active photovoltaic area. Here, we report a series of poly ferrocenyl molecules that can modulate surface enabling construction small- and large-area PSCs. We found perovskite–ferrocenyl interaction forms hybrid complex enhanced coordination strength activated electronic states, leading lower interfacial nonradiative recombination charge transport resistance losses. The resulting PSCs achieve an up 26.08% for small-area devices 24.51% (1.0208 cm2). Moreover, maintain >92% initial after 2000 h continuous operation at maximum power point under 1-sun illumination 65 °C.

Chemical passivation and grain-boundary manipulation via in situ cross-linking strategy for scalable flexible perovskite solar cells

Science Advances, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 11(5)

Опубликована: Янв. 31, 2025

Flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs) are considered the most promising candidates in portable power applications. However, high sensitivity of crystallization on substrate and intrinsic brittleness usually trade off performance f-PSCs. Herein, we introduced an initiator-free cross-linkable monomer (2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl) 5-(dithiolan-3-yl)pentanoate (FTA), which can chemically passivate defects enable real-time fine regulation crystallization. The resulting film exhibited higher crystallinity, enlarged grain size, reduced dependence substrate. In addition, cross-linked FTA [CL(FTA)] distributed along boundaries effectively released residual stress securely bound grains together. Consequently, CL(FTA)-modified flexible PSCs achieved a record-breaking efficiency 24.64% (certified 24.08%). Moreover, scalable potential has been verified by corresponding rigid modules, delivering impressive efficiencies 19.53 17.13%, respectively. Furthermore, optimized device demonstrated bending durability improved operational stability, thereby advancing progress f-PSCs toward industrialization.

Enhancing Interfacial Contact for Efficient and Stable Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells and Modules

Advanced Functional Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 7, 2025

Abstract Defective perovskite surfaces severely limit the development of inverted solar cells (PSCs). Here, impacts surface treatment are systematically investigated with organic ammonium salts, namely piperidinium iodide (PpI) and piperazinedihydroiodide (PDI), on performance formamidinium‐cesium (FACs)‐based PSCs. These results indicate that PpI, its high dipole moment, tends to form 1D structures surface, which hinders electron transport. By contrast, PDI post‐treatment does not lead formation such structures; instead, it forms a thin passivation layer homogenizes electric potential across surface. This merit in favorable alignment energy levels significant reduction non‐radiative recombination at perovskite/electron transport interface. As result, module (PSM) achieved power conversion efficiency (PCE) 22.08% an aperture area 11.1 cm 2 (certified 21.58%), showing low‐efficiency discrepancy versus small‐area counterpart 25.09%. Notably, PSM can maintain 92.5% initial PCE after continuous 1000 h 1‐sun operation 65 °C ambient air.
