Abstract
The role of interface energetics-modification in interface-defect passivation and optimal interface energy-level matching is assumed to be a crucial aspect. Enhancing the performance and durability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be achieved through this strategy. Here, spiro-OMeTAD [2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis (N, N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9′-spirobifluorene] has been pipetted onto the spinning perovskite precursor film via a chlorobenzene anti-solvent strategy. It is found that spiro-OMeTAD serves as not only the filler at grain boundaries, but also the coverage on perovskite’s grain, and then forms the gradual homojunction interface from perovskite to spiro-OMeTAD hole transport layer, which can make spiro-OMeTAD anchor perovskite via the reaction between Pb2+ and C-O groups to decrease the interface barrier and obtain the optimal interface energy-level match between them for hole −migration and −collection. Moreover, these fillers or coverages can prevent moisture invading perovskite. Consequently, the counterpart PSC achieves a champion efficiency of 24.46 %, and has retained more than 88 % of the initial efficiency after 224 days of storage.
