Efficient wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells (PSCs) enable high-efficiency tandem photovoltaics when combined with crystalline silicon and other low-bandgap absorbers. However, PSCs today exhibit performance far inferior to that of sub-1.6-eV bandgap due their tendency form a high density deep traps. Here, we show healing the traps in perovskites-in effect, increasing defect tolerance via cation engineering-enables further improvements PSCs. We achieve stabilized power conversion efficiency...
Impressive progress in halide perovskite solar cells motivates further work to improve operating stability. It is known that ion-migration-driven decomposition represents a degradation pathway and it can occur within the material even well-encapsulated devices. Here we find quasi-two-dimensional (2.5D) perovskites suppress this ion-migration-induced degradation. Using TOF-SIMS, confirm iodide migration occurs bulk photovoltaic devices at their maximum power point (MPP). We observe iodine...
