Abstract

The disordered distribution of trap states and ion migration limit the commercial application of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we apply an oxamic acid potassium salt (OAPS) as a bifunctional additive of perovskite film. The Lewis base group C=O of OAPS can interact with the uncoordinated Pb2+ caused by the I site substitution by Pb and the dangling bonds of the perovskite, which is beneficial to reduce the nonradiative recombination loss. In addition, the countercation K+ of OAPS is confirmed to occupy the perovskite lattice interstitial sites and result in lattice expansion, inhibiting the formation of iodide Frenkel defects and I- ion migration. As a result, the synergistic effect achieves enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 19.98 to 23.02%, with a fill factor reaching up to 81.90% and suppressed current-voltage hysteresis. The device also presents improved stability, maintaining 93% of the initial PCE after 2000 h of storage.
