Abstract
Iodine vacancies and uncoordinated Pb0 defects existing at the perovskite surface have been widely demonstrated to induce deep-level defects, which can greatly limit improvement of the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, a novel strategy is proposed for functionalizing perovskite surface by using trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (TMSI), which can enhance the defect formation energy and inhibit Pb0 defects. Meanwhile, TMSI modification also can fill the iodine vacancies of perovskite surface-terminating ends. Consequently, the optimized device shows the improved charge dynamics and the reduced energy losses, achieving a champion efficiency of up to 24.03% along with excellent air-storage and thermal stabilities. This work offers guidelines for more efficient and stable PSCs based on the management of interface defects.
