According to the detailed balanced limit for a single-junction solar cell, tin–lead (Sn–Pb) perovskite cells (PSCs) can achieve power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) more than Pb-PSCs. However, rise in PCE of Sn–Pb PSCs is limited by choice hole transport layer PEDOT:PSS only. Inspired use selective monolayers (HSM) Pb only PSCs, here, we employed 2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl) ethyl] phosphonic acid (2PACz), leading (21.39%) comparable fabricated on conventional (21.37%). Moreover, reported small...

Abstract Tin‐lead perovskite solar cells (PSCs) show inferior power conversion efficiency (PCE) than their Pb counterparts mainly because of the higher open‐circuit voltage ( V oc ) loss. Here, it is revealed that p‐type surface transforms to n‐type, based on post‐treatment by a Lewis base, ethylenediamine. This approach forms graded band structure owing rise Fermi‐energy level at layer, and increases built‐in potential from 0.56 0.76 V, which more 100 mV. It demonstrated EDA can lower...

Sn-based perovskite solar cells (S-PSCs) are a promising candidate to replace toxic Pb-based PSCs. For promoting their industrial application, developing inorganic substitutions of unstable poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is also an important part due its intrinsic stability and low cost. Here, we in situ prepared ambipolar SnOx by simple fast plasma-assistant strategy (P-SnOx). The as-prepared P-SnOx works as hole transport layer directly, yielding 10.89 ±...
