Surface termination passivation of imidazole-based diiodide enabling efficient inverted perovskite solar cells.

-(3-aminopropyl)-imidazole diiodide (APDI) was introduced on the upper surface of the perovskite for the first time to modulate the terminal groups. The defect traps were suppressed by binding N cations from the APDI with Pb. Consequently, the optimum APDI-treated device achieved a PCE of 21.

Defect passivation a multifunctional organic additive toward efficient and stable inverted perovskite solar cells.

A multifunctional group molecule, namely MATC, was first introduced into a Cs/FA-based perovskite used as an additive. An impressive PCE of 21.51% was achieved for the inverted PSCs with reduced defect states and improved perovskite film quality.

High Conductivity, Semiconducting, and Metallic PEDOT:PSS Electrode for All-Plastic Solar Cells.

Plastic electrodes are desirable for the rapid development of flexible organic electronics. In this article, a plastic electrode has been prepared by employing traditional conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and plastic substrate polyethersulfone (PES). The completed electrode (Denote as HC-PEDOT:PSS) treated by 80% concentrated sulfuric acid (HSO) possesses a high electrical conductivity of over 2673 S/cm and a high transmittance of over 90% at 550 nm.

Highly efficient and stable ZnO-based perovskite solar cells enabled by a self-assembled monolayer as the interface linker.

2-TA and 3-TA were introduced for the first time on the surface of ZnO, and used as SAMs for interfacial modification. A highest PCE of 20.6% was achieved for 2-TA PSCs with improved energy alignment and perovskite film quality, and reduced defect density.
