Abstract

The reduced dimension perovskite including 2D perovskites are one of the most promising strategies to stabilize lead halide perovskite. A mixed-cation 2D perovskite based on a steric phenyltrimethylammonium (PTA) cation is presented. The PTA-MA mixed-cation 2D perovskite of PTAMAPbI4 can be formed on the surface of MAPbI3 (PTAI-MAPbI3 ) by controllable PTAI intercalation by either spin coating or soaking. The PTAMAPbI4 capping layer can not only passivate PTAI-MAPbI3 perovskite but also act as MA+ locker to inhibit MAI extraction and significantly enhance the stability. The highly stable PTAI-MAPbI3 based perovskite solar cells exhibit a reproducible photovoltaic performance with a champion PCE of 21.16 %. Such unencapsulated devices retain 93 % of initial efficiency after 500 h continuous illumination. This steric mixed-cation 2D perovskite as MA+ locker to stabilize the MAPbI3 is a promising strategy to design stable and high-performance hybrid lead halide perovskites.
