Abstract:
The interfaces between the selective contacts and the perovskite are crucial for carrier collection in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), significantly affecting the devices’ performance and stability. This study introduces a dual interface synergistic modulation approach to improve the efficiency and stability of PSCs. The bottom interface modifier, 1,4-diaminobutane (DAB), helps create active sites that facilitate the attachment of another modifier on the perovskite film’s surface. Through these DAB-induced active sites, 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethylsiloxane (BTS) can effectively passivate native defects and prevent surface degradation of the perovskite materials. By utilizing DAB and BTS for a dual interface synergistic passivation strategy, we achieve an impressive efficiency of 25.92% (certified at 25.13%) and demonstrate remarkable continuous operational stability with a T90 lifetime exceeding 700 h.
