Article Abstract
Herein, we report a sequential deposition procedure to passivate the surface of a hybrid mixed cationic tin perovskite (E1G20) with phenylhydrazinium thiocyanate (PHSCN) dissolved in trifluoroethanol solvent. The photoluminescence lifetime of the PHSCN film was enhanced by a factor of 6, while the charge-extraction rate from perovskite to C layer was enhanced by a factor of 2.5, in comparison to those of the E1G20 film. A slow surface passivation was observed; the performance of the PHSCN device improved upon increasing the storage period to attain an efficiency of 13.5% for a current-voltage scan in the forward bias direction. An inverted effect of hysteresis was observed in that the efficiency of the forward scan was greater than that of the reverse scan. An ion-migration model as a result of the effect of the phenylhydrazinium surface passivation is proposed to account for the observed phenomena. The device was stable upon shelf storage in a glovebox for 3000 h.

This study presents a systematic analysis of the impact of polymer hole transport layers (HTLs) in inverted MAPbI perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Devices were fully fabricated under regular atmospheric conditions (≈40% humidity) and low temperature (100 °C) by using Field's Metal (FM) as an alternative top electrode. The widely known π-conjugated polymers P3HT, PTB7-Th, PBDB-T, and MEH-PPV were used as HTLs, and all of them show suitable energy alignment to MAPbI, offering good moisture stability, solution processability, low cost, and attractiveness for large area and flexible PSCs.

P-i-n perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are regarded as a promising solution for mitigating global energy crises, owing to their exceptional stability and minimal hysteresis effects. In recent years, self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-based p-i-n PSCs have demonstrated power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) ≈27%. In contrast to existing reviews centered on SAM molecular structure modulation, this work prioritizes recent advancements in buried interface engineering for SAM-based inverted PSCs.

Polymer nanopillar arrays with continuously varying diameters were fabricated by nanoimprinting using anodic porous alumina molds. The obtained polymer nanopillar array exhibited wettability gradient properties, and when a water droplet formed on its surface, it moved spontaneously. A wettability gradient surface was fabricated using a nanopillar array structure, and its inverted structure, nanohole array, and the spontaneous transport distance of water droplets were compared.

The interface between nickel oxide (NiO) and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) often suffers from limited adsorption strength, poor energy-level alignment, and inadequate defect passivation, which hinder device performance and stability. To address these issues, we introduce a hybrid hole selective layer (HSL) combining atomic layer deposition (ALD)-fabricated NiO with full-aromatic SAM molecules, creating a highly stable and efficient interface. ALD NiO, enriched with hydroxyl groups, provides robust adsorption sites for the SAM molecule MeO-PhPACz, ensuring a strong, stable interaction.

Passivating defects at the wide-bandgap perovskite/C interface without impeding interfacial charge transport can effectively enhance the efficiency of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (TSCs). Herein, we study the impact of benzene-derivative ligands with elaborately modulated binding strength and acidity on wide-bandgap perovskites for high-performance perovskite/silicon TSCs. Specifically, the acidity/alkalinity and binding strength are preliminarily tuned using different functional groups of -PO₃H₂, -COOH, and -NH₂, and further finely adjusted by altering the chain lengths between the benzene ring and the functional groups.
