Abstract
Surface passivation with multifunctional molecules is an effective strategy to mitigate the defect and improve the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, the fabrication of awide bandgap-PSC is reported with tin perovskite (WB-Sn-HP; bandgap: 1.68 eV), followed by molecular surface passivation using 4-Fluoro-benzohydrazide (F-BHZ). WB-Sn-PSC has demonstrated a promising device efficiency of 11.14% with improved device stability. The key to enhancing device performance lies in the meticulous engineering of both surface and bulk properties of WB-Sn-HP film with F-BHZ treatment as a consequence of stronger electrostatic potential and molecular interaction with hydrazine and carbonyl functionalities. A compact perovskite film and highly crystalline film growth results in a longer carrier lifetime and surface defect mitigation with the control of Sn2+ oxidation as supported by theoretical calculations. This work underlines the promising potential of chemical engineering to improve the device performance of WB-Sn-PSC and stabilityusing multifunctional passivating molecules.
