Abstract

Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) exhibit excellent photovoltaic performance but have the drawbacks of instabilities against moisture and heat due to the inherent hydroscopic nature and volatility of their organic components. Herein, it is reported that using the block copolymer F127 as the passivation reagent in conjunction with the solvent annealing process can efficiently improve the performance and stability of corresponding organic–inorganic PSCs. It is anticipated that the hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) tails of F127 polymers connect with contiguous perovskite crystals and passivate defects at perovskite grain boundaries, whereas the dangling hydrophobic poly(phenyl oxide) centers suppress perovskite decomposition caused by moisture and heat. After the optimization of the F127 additive, planar PSCs with champion power conversion efficiencies of 21.01% and 18.71% are achieved on rigid and flexible substrates, respectively. The F127 passivation strategy provides an effective approach for fabricating high‐efficiency and stable PSCs.
