The stabilization of the formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI) structure is pivotal for the development of efficient photovoltaic devices. Employing two-dimensional (2D) layers to passivate the three-dimensional (3D) perovskite is essential for maintaining the α-phase of FAPbI and enhancing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the role of bulky ligands in the phase management of 2D perovskites, crucial for the stabilization of FAPbI, has not yet been elucidated.

However, in inverted PSCs, depositing a high-quality perovskite layer comparable to those realized in normal structures still presents some challenges. Defects at grain boundaries and interfaces between the active layer and carrier extraction layer seriously hinder the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of these cells.

However, FA-based 2D perovskites produced via one-step processing exhibit poor crystallinity and random quasi-quantum wells (QWs), leading to subpar photovoltaic performance. In this study, a seed-induced growth approach is introduced employing MAPbCl and BDAPbI in the deposition of FA-based Dion-Jacobson 2D perovskite films.
