Article Abstract
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 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.

The introduction of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite layers on top of three-dimensional (3D) perovskite films enhances the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the electronic effect of the spacer cation and the quality of the 2D capping layer are critical factors in achieving the required results. In this study, we compared two fluorinated salts: 4-(trifluoromethyl) benzamidine hydrochloride (4TF-BA·HCl) and 4-fluorobenzamidine hydrochloride (4F-BA·HCl) to engineer the 3D/2D perovskite films.

Low-dimensional perovskites have been demonstrated repeatedly to improve the performance of perovskite photovoltaic devices in both light-to-electricity conversion efficiency and device durability. In this work, the ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate (EMIMHSO) is innovatively introduced as a capping layer, which interacts with the residual PbI on the 3D perovskite top surface to generate the 1D perovskite, EMIMPbI. By adjusting the concentration of the IL, 1D perovskite formations with distinct morphologies is achieved.

2D perovskites as interfacial modifiers have demonstrated potential for improving the stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs); however, 2D structures based on flexible long-chain cations often lead to a high degree of octahedral distortions and larger interlayer spacing. These factors hinder efficient charge extraction between the perovskite and charge transport layers and affect the stability of 2D/3D devices. Here, imidazolyl spacers with rigid ring structures are employed as interfacial modifiers.

Addressing the inherent instability of tin-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs), a facile approach is introduced to simultaneously enhance their stability and performance. This study demonstrates the implementation of an ultra-thin (≈3 nm) dual-functional lead sulfide (PbS) capping layer, formed via a sequential deposition. This PbS layer serves a critical dual role: first, as a robust protective barrier against oxidation and moisture, effectively mitigating the degradation of the underlying tin-based perovskite; and second, by improving interfacial electronic properties to facilitate efficient charge extraction.

Metal halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), like formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI), hold significant promise for next-generation photovoltaics. Surface manipulation of PQDs has been extensively reported to be crucial to their photovoltaic performance due to the dynamic binding of capping long-chain ligands. In this work, an efficient surface engineering strategy employing a multifunctional fluorinated pseudo-halide anion ligand, hexafluorophosphate (PF ) is reported for achieving efficient FAPbI PQD solar cells.
