Dimensional Regulation from 1D/3D to 2D/3D of Perovskite Interfaces for Stable Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells.

Constructing low-dimensional/three-dimensional (LD/3D) perovskite solar cells can improve efficiency and stability. However, the design and selection of LD perovskite capping materials are incredibly scarce for inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) because LD perovskite capping layers often favor hole extraction and impede electron extraction. Here, we develop a facile and effective strategy to modify the perovskite surface by passivating the surface defects and modulating surface electrical properties by incorporating morpholine hydriodide (MORI) and thiomorpholine hydriodide (SMORI) on the perovskite surface. Compared with the PI treatment that we previously developed, the one-dimensional (1D) perovskite capping layer derived from PI is transformed into a two-dimensional (2D) perovskite capping layer (with MORI or SMORI), achieving dimension regulation. It is shown that the 2D SMORI perovskite capping layer induces more robust surface passivation and stronger n-N homotype 2D/3D heterojunctions, achieving a p-i-n inverted solar cell with an efficiency of 24.55%, which retains 87.6% of its initial efficiency after 1500 h of operation at the maximum power point (MPP). Furthermore, 5 × 5 cm 2 perovskite mini-modules are presented, achieving an active-area efficiency of 22.28%. In addition, the quantum well structure in the 2D perovskite capping layer increases the moisture resistance, suppresses ion migration, and improves PSCs' structural and environmental stability.
