Interface-induced nonradiative recombination losses at the perovskite/electron transport layer (ETL) are an impediment to improving efficiency and stability of inverted (p-i-n) perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Tridecafluorohexane-1-sulfonic acid potassium (TFHSP) is employed as a multifunctional dipole molecule modify surface. The solid coordination hydrogen bonding efficiently passivate surface defects, thereby reducing recombination. induced positive between ETLs improves energy band...
