Anions Regulation of 1D Perovskite Intrusion-Behavior for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells.

Constructing a 1D/3D perovskite heterojunction has recently emerged as a prevalent approach for elevating the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), due to the excellent defect-passivation capacity and enhanced resistance to water and oxygen of 1D perovskite. However, the 1D perovskite commonly exhibits much poorer charge carrier transport ability when compared with its 3D counterpart. Tailoring the intrusion depth of a 1D perovskite into the 1D/3D heterojunction is thus of key importance for PSCs but remains a great challenge. We introduce herein a novel anion-regulation strategy that can effectively tune the intrusion behavior of 1D perovskite into 3D perovskite to form a 1D/3D heterojunction with gradual structure and gradient energy-level alignment. This gradual 1D/3D-perovskite interface leads to outstanding defect passivation performance, together with a desired balance between charge transport and moisture/oxygen blocking. Consequently, the PSCs with a 1D/3D perovskite heterojunction resulting from tetra- n -butylammonium acetate (TBAAc) treatment yield a remarkable enhancement in power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 18.4 to 20.1%. The unencapsulated device also demonstrates excellent stability and retains 90% of its initial PCE after 2400 h of storage in the air atmosphere with 30 ± 5% humidity at 25 ± 5 °C.
