Low temperature growth (001) facet-oriented p-type FAPbI perovskite solar cells.

Various atomic arrangements and coordination of facets significantly influence the photoelectric properties of perovskites.

Enhancing open-circuit voltage in FAPbI perovskite solar cells self-formation of coherent buried interface FAPbICl.

The interfaces between the perovskite and charge-transporting layers typically exhibit high defect concentrations, which are the primary cause of open-circuit voltage loss. Passivating the interface between the perovskite and electron-transporting layer is particularly challenging due to the dissolution of surface treatment agents during the perovskite coating. In this study, a coherent FAPbICl buried interface was simultaneously formed during the preparation of FAPbI.
