Constructing low-dimensional/three-dimensional (LD/3D) perovskite solar cells can improve efficiency and stability. However, the design selection of LD capping materials are incredibly scarce for inverted (PSCs) because layers often favor hole extraction impede electron extraction. Here, we develop a facile effective strategy to modify surface by passivating defects modulating electrical properties incorporating morpholine hydriodide (MORI) thiomorpholine (SMORI) on surface. Compared with PI treatment that previously developed, one-dimensional (1D) layer derived from is transformed into two-dimensional (2D) (with MORI or SMORI), achieving dimension regulation.
