Article Abstract
This paper provides a detailed analysis of pure CsPbIBr and 4% Ce-doped CsPbIBr perovskite films, with an emphasis on their structural, optical, and photovoltaic properties. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms a predominant cubic perovskite phase in both samples, with Ce doping leading to increased crystal size (21 nm to 32 nm). UV-Vis spectroscopy reveals reduced bandgap energy (2.2 eV to 2.1 eV) with Ce doping. Dielectric constant analysis indicates enhanced permittivity in the Ce-doped samples, which is crucial for solar-cell light trapping. Energy band structure analysis demonstrates improved photovoltaic cell performance with Ce doping, yielding higher open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and efficiency (9.71%) compared to pure CsPbIBr (8.02%). Ce doping mitigates electron-hole recombination, enhancing the cell stability, electron affinity, and power output. This research underscores the potential for cost-effective, efficient, and stable CsPbIBr perovskite solar cells.

Inorganic halide perovskites are promising light absorbers due to their thermal stability, high absorption, and tunable optoelectronic properties. CsPbIBr, with a suitable bandgap and robust phase stability, is particularly attractive for indoor photovoltaics (IPVs). However, achieving uniform, defect-minimized films remains challenging.

Tungsten trioxide (WO), with strong electron affinity and recombination suppression, serves as an effective electron transport layer (ETL). Incorporating zinc oxide (ZnO) enhances its conductivity, forming a ZnO-WO composite with improved charge extraction and energy level alignment. The novelty of this study is to introduce ZnO-WO as an interlayer ETL in CsPbIBr-based perovskite solar cells, enabling superior device performance and stability.

The interfacial charge recombination at the interface between the carbon electrode and the perovskite layer is a key factor limiting the device performance in the carbon-based hole-free system. The mainstream of the existing strategies is to improve the film quality through the addition of ligands or passivators. As the deposition process of carbon electrodes requires heat treatment, the use of conventional hole transport layer materials (such as Spiro-OMeTAD) is limited, leaving the hole extraction at the carbon-perovskite interface inefficient.

Wide-bandgap perovskite materials are gaining enormous attention recently, particularly in multijunction photovoltaics. Despite the encouraging development, light-induced phase segregation still impedes their operational stability, primarily due to the high content of bromide constituents. Here, we report a bilateral interface design to mitigate the phase instability of 2.
