Fullerene derivative, such as [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), is widely used an electron-transport layer (ETL) in inverted perovskite solar cell (PSC). However, its low electron mobility, complexity achieving quality film formation, and severe nonradiative recombination at perovskite/PCBM interface due to the large capture region, lead lower efficiency for PSCs compared normal structures. Herein, we demonstrate effective practical strategy overcome these challenges....

Black orthorhombic (B-γ) CsSnI3 with low toxicity and excellent optoelectronic properties is a promising candidate for perovskite solar cell (PSC). However, the performance of B-γ CsSnI3-based PSCs much lower than their lead-based or organotin-based counterparts due to heavy self-doping Sn2+ form Sn4+ under ambient-air conditions. Here, this undesirable oxidation in restricted by engineering localized electron density phthalimide (PTM) additive. The lone pairs NH two CO units PTM are...
Black orthorhombic (B-γ) CsSnI3 with reduced biotoxicity and environmental impact excellent optoelectronic properties is being considered as a promising eco-friendly candidate for high-performing perovskite solar cells (PSCs). A major challenge in large-scale implementation of PSCs includes the rapid transformation Sn2+ to Sn4+ (within few minutes) under an ambient-air condition.

More importantly, efficient electron-transfer channel produced between due to formation hydrogen bonds at interface, resulting...
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) without charge-carrier-transport layers (CTLs) are theoretically achievable due to the ambipolar charge-carrier-transfer characteristics presenting in perovskites.
