Abstract
Aromatic monoammonium cations (AMCs) have been widely used to ameliorate the perovskite surface by interacting with defects or constructing low-dimensional perovskites, yet ignoring substituent effects on the working principle of AMCs. Here, we demonstrated that benzylammonium cation (BA) and difluorinated BA (DFBA) AMCs play different roles on the perovskite surface. BA can transform three-dimensional (3D) perovskite into two-dimensional (2D) ones on perovskite surface, but the 2D perovskites with random orientation impede charge extraction and increase nonradiative charge recombination. As a comparison, DFBA cannot form 2D perovskites, while directly interacting with the perovskite surface, simultaneously improving the contact between the perovskite and “2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis-(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamino)-9,9′- spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD) layer, promoting interfacial charge extraction, thus boosting the efficiency to 20.29 % and 24.02 % for (CH3NH3)PbI3 (MAPbI3) and (CH(NH2)2)PbI3 (FAPbI3) based perovskite solar cells (PSCs), respectively. Our finding provides a distinctive understanding on the roles of AMCs on the perovskite surface for PSCs.
