In recent years, the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has increased rapidly. Perovskites can be prepared using simple and cost-effective solution methods. However, the perovskite films obtained are usually polycrystalline and contain numerous defects. Passivation of these defects is crucial for enhancing the performance of solar cells. Here, we report the use of propylamine hydroiodide (PAI) for defect passivation. We found that PAI can result in higher-efficiency cells by reducing the defects and suppressing non-radiative recombination. Consequently, n-i-p perovskite solar cells with a certificated efficiency of 21% were obtained. In addition, PAI exhibited excellent performance in p-i-n devices by serving as a buried interface layer, leading to an improved efficiency of 23%.

High defect concentrations at the interfaces are the basis of charge extraction losses and instability in perovskite solar cells. Surface engineering with organic cations is a common practice to solve this issue. However, the full implications of the counteranions of these cations for device functioning are often neglected.

Flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs) have advanced significantly because of their excellent power-per-weight performance and affordable manufacturing costs. The unsatisfactory efficiency and mechanical stability of FPSCs are bottleneck challenges that limit their application. Here, we explore the use of octylammonium acetate (OAAc) with a long, intrinsic, flexible molecular chain on perovskite films for surface adhesion and mechanical releasing.

Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for next-generation photovoltaic technologies. However, perovskite films deposited by blade-coating usually exhibit inferior film morphology compared to those fabricated by spin-coating, which hinders the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of the scalable perovskite solar modules (PSMs). Herein, ellipsoidal colloids are tailored in the perovskite precursor solution by incorporating perovskite colloids and polymer additives.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have demonstrated great potential for flexible optoelectronic devices due to their superior optoelectronic properties and structural flexibility. However, mechanical deformation-induced cracks at the buried interface and delamination from the substrate severely constrain the optoelectronic performance and device lifespan. Here, we design a two-site bonding strategy aiming to reinforce the mechanical stability of the SnO2/perovskite interface and perovskite layer using a multifunctional organic salt, 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (TPH).
