Abstract

The brittleness of perovskite (PVK) film restrains the development and application of the flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs). We utilize the polyurethane elastomers with disulfide bonds (PUDS) as a self-healing polymer to construct self-healing FPSCs and strengthen the self-healed perovskite film by the phase-locked state. The PUDS efficiently enhances the flexibility and self-healing properties of FPSCs. The champion efficiencies of MAPbI3 on rigid and flexible substrates with PUDS are 20.30% and 17.19%, respectively. Importantly, the efficiency of cracked FPSC after thermal self-healing (80 °C) has been recovered from 12% (Broken: 2.06%) of the initial efficiency (17.19%) to 88% (Recovery: 15.12%). Besides, the efficiency of FPSC with PUDS maintains 95% of the initial value after 3000 h stored in glove box. This strategy provides an effective approach for developing flexible electronics.
