Abstract
The inefficient conversion of lead iodide to perovskite has become one of the major challenges in further improving the performance of perovskite solar cells fabricated by the two-step method. Herein, the discontinuous lead iodide layer realized by introduction of a polyfluorinated organic diammonium salt, octafluoro-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)-dimethanaminium (OFPP) iodide which does not form low-dimensional perovskites, can enable the satisfactory conversion of lead iodide into perovskite, leading to meliorated crystallinity and enlarged grains in the OFPP modulated perovskite (OFPP-PVK) film. Combined with the effective defect passivation, the OFPP-PVK films show enhanced charge mobility and suppressed charge recombination. Accordingly, the OFPP-based perovskite solar cells exhibit a champion efficiency of 24.76 % with better device stability. Moreover, a superior efficiency of 21.04 % was achieved in a large-area perovskite module (100 cm2). Our work provides a unique insight into the function of organic diammonium additive in boosting photovoltaic performance.

Abstract
The commercialization process of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is markedly restricted by the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and long-term stability. During fabrication and operation, the bottom interface of the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite layer frequently exhibits voids and residual PbI2, while these defects inevitably act as recombination centers and degradation sites, affecting the efficiency and stability of the devices. Therefore, the degradation and nonradiative recombination originating from the buried interface should be thoroughly resolved. Here, we report a multifunctional passivator by introducing malonic dihydrazide as an interfacial chemical bridge between the electron transport layer and the perovskite (PVK) layer. MADH with hydrazine groups improves the surface affinity of SnO2 and provides nucleation sites for the growth of PVK, leading to the reduced residual PbI2 and the voids resulting from the inhomogeneous solvent volatilization at the bottom interface. Meanwhile, the hydrazine group and carbonyl group synergistically coordinate with Pb2+ to improve the crystal growth environment, reducing the number of Pb-related defects. Eventually, the PCE of the PSCs is significantly enhanced benefiting from the reduced interfacial defects and the increased carrier transport. Moreover, the reductive nature of hydrazide further inhibits I2 generation during long-term operation, and the device retains 90% of the initial PCE under a 1 sun continuous illumination exposure of 700 h.

Abstract
The two-step sequential deposition strategy has been widely recognized in promoting the research and application of perovskite solar cells, but the rapid reaction of organic salts with lead iodide inevitably affects the growth of perovskite crystals, accompanied by the generation of more defects. In this study, the regulation of crystal growth was achieved in a two-step deposition method by mixing 1-naphthylmethylammonium bromide (NMABr) with organic salts. The results show that the addition of NMABr effectively delays the aggregation and crystallization behavior of organic salts; thereby, the growth of the optimal crystal (001) orientation of perovskite is promoted. Based on this phenomenon of delaying the crystallization process of perovskite, the "slow-release effect assisted crystallization" is defined. Moreover, the incorporation of the Br element expands the band gap of perovskite and mitigates material defects as nonradiative recombination centers. Consequently, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the enhanced perovskite solar cells (PSCs) reaches 20.20%. It is noteworthy that the hydrophobic nature of the naphthalene moiety in NMABr can enhance the humidity resistance of PSCs, and the perovskite phase does not decompose for more than 3000 h (30-40% RH), enabling it to retain 90% of its initial efficiency even after exposure to a nitrogen environment for 1200 h.

Abstract
Crystallization orientation plays a crucial role in determining the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PVSCs), whereas effective strategies for realizing oriented perovskite crystallization is still lacking. Herein, a facile and efficient top-down strategy is reported to manipulate the crystallization orientation via treating perovskite wet film with propylamine chloride (PACl) before annealing. The PA+ ions tend to be adsorbed on the (001) facet of the perovskite surface, resulting in the reduced cleavage energy to induce (001) orientation-dominated growth of perovskite film and then reduce the temperature of phase transition, meanwhile, the penetrating Cl ions further regulate the crystallization process. As-prepared (001)-dominant perovskite films exhibit the ameliorative film homogeneity in terms of vertical and horizontal scale, leading to alleviated lattice mismatch and lowered defect density. The resultant PVSC devices deliver a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.07% with enhanced stability, and the unencapsulated PVSC device maintains 95% of its initial PCE after 1000 h of operation at the maximum power point under simulated AM 1.5G illumination.

Abstract
This study uses different doping ratios of CsCl and MACl dual additives to improve the quality of the perovskite, where CsCl reduces the perovskite trap density and increases the resistance of charge recombination, and MACl was used to improve the phase stability. Finally, the composition of Cs0.1MA0.09FA0.81PbCl0.14I2.86 perovskite solar cell (PeSC) can achieve better open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current density (Jsc), and photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE). To achieve a better PCE of PeSC, the use of organic ammonium salt butane-1,4-diammonium iodide (BDAI2) to passivate the perovskite bottom surface (buried interface) can effectively suppress the formation of defects at the perovskite buried interface, obtain higher crystallinity, and thereby reduce the probability of carrier recombination. The Jsc, fill factor (FF), and PCE of the PeSC based on BDAI2 passivation increased from 24.0 mA cm-2, 74.1%, and 18.6% to 24.5 mA cm-2, 79.9%, and 20.5%, respectively.

Abstract
The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of polycrystalline perovskite (PVK) solar cells (SCs) (PC-PeSCs) have rapidly increased. However, PC-PeSCs are intrinsically unstable without encapsulation, and their efficiency drops during large-scale production; these problems hinder the commercial viability of PeSCs. Stability can be increased by using colloidal PVK nanocrystals (c-PeNCs), which have high surface strains, low defect density, and exceptional crystal quality. The use of c-PeNCs separates the crystallization process from the film formation process, which is preponderant in large-scale fabrication. Consequently, the use of c-PeNCs has substantial potential to overcome challenges encountered when fabricating PC-PeSCs. Research on colloidal nanocrystal-based PVK SCs (NC-PeSCs) has increased their PCEs to a level greater than those of other quantum-dot SCs, but has not reached the PCEs of PC-PeSCs; this inferiority significantly impedes widespread application of NC-PeSCs. This review first introduces the distinctive properties of c-PeNCs, then the strategies that have been used to achieve high-efficiency NC-PeSCs. Then it discusses in detail the persisting challenges in this domain. Specifically, the major challenges and solutions for NC-PeSCs related to low short-circuit current density Jsc are covered. Last, the article presents a perspective on future research directions and potential applications in the realm of NC-PeSCs.

Abstract
In perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the inherent defects of perovskite film and the random distribution of excess lead iodide (PbI2) prevent the improvement of efficiency and stability. Herein, natural cellulose is used as the raw material to design a series of cellulose derivatives for perovskite crystallization engineering. The cationic cellulose derivative C-Im-CN with cyano-imidazolium (Im-CN) cation and chloride anion prominently promotes the crystallization process, grain growth, and directional orientation of perovskite. Meanwhile, excess PbI2 is transferred to the surface of perovskite grains or formed plate-like crystallites in local domains. These effects result in suppressing defect formation, decreasing grain boundaries, enhancing carrier extraction, inhibiting non-radiative recombination, and dramatically prolonging carrier lifetimes. Thus, the PSCs exhibit a high power conversion efficiency of 24.71%. Moreover, C-Im-CN has multiple interaction sites and polymer skeleton, so the unencapsulated PSCs maintain above 91.3% of their initial efficiencies after 3000 h of continuous operation in a conventional air atmosphere and have good stability under high humidity conditions. The utilization of biopolymers with excellent structure-designability to manage the perovskite opens a state-of-the-art avenue for manufacturing and improving PSCs.

Abstract
Targeting the trap-assisted non-radiative recombination losses and photochemical degradation occurring at the interface and bulk of perovskite, especially the overlooked buried bottom interface, a strategy of tailored-phase two-dimensional (TP-2D) crystal seed layer has been developed to improve the charge transport dynamics at the buried interface and bulk of perovskite films. Using this approach, TP-2D layer constructed by TP-2D crystal seeds at the buried interface can induce the formation of homogeneous interface electric field, which effectively suppress the accumulation of charge carriers at the buried interface. Additionally, the presence of TP-2D crystal seed has a positive effect on the crystallization process of the upper perovskite film, leading to optimized crystal quality and thus promoted charge transport inside bulk perovskites. Ultimately, the best performing PSCs based on TP-2D layer deliver a power conversion efficiency of 24.58 %. The devices exhibit an improved photostability with 88.4 % of their initial PCEs being retained after aging under continuous 0.8-sun illumination for 2000 h in air. Our findings reveal how to regulate the charge transport dynamics of perovskite bulk and interface by introducing homogeneous components.

Abstract
Different facets in perovskite crystals exhibit distinct atomic arrangements, influencing their electronic, physical, and chemical properties. Perovskite films incorporating tin oxide (SnO2) as the electron transport layer face challenges in facet regulation. This study reveals that tea saponin (TS), a natural compound serves as a SnO2 modifier, facilitates optimal growth of perovskite crystals on the (111) facet. The modification promotes preferential crystal orientation through hydrogen bond and Lewis coordination. TS forms a chelate with SnO2, resulting in a smoother film and n-type doping, leading to improved carrier extraction and reduced defects. The TS-modified perovskite solar cells achieve a champion efficiency of 24.2%, leveraging from an obvious enhancement of open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.18 V and fill factor (FF) of 82.8%. The devices also demonstrate enhanced humidity tolerance and storage stability, ensuring improved stability without encapsulation.

Minimizing Voltage Losses via Synergistically Reducing Hetero-Interface Energy Offset for High Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2312067.

Abstract
The open circuit voltage (VOC) losses at multiple interfaces within perovskite solar cells (PSCs) limit the improvements in power conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, a tailored strategy is proposed to reduce the energy offset at both hetero-interfaces within PSCs to decrease the VOC losses. For the interface of perovskite and electron transport layer where exists a mass of defects, it uses the pyromellitic acid to serve as a molecular bridge, which reduces non-radiative recombination and energy level offset. For the interface of perovskite and hole transport layer, which includes a passivator of PEAI, the detrimental effect (negative shift of work function) of PEAI passivation and optimizing the interface energy level alignment are neutralized by incorporating (2-(4-(bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)phenyl)-1-cyanovinyl)phosphonic acid. Owing to synergistically reduced hetero-interface energy offset, the PSCs achieve a PCE of 25.13%, and the VOC is increased from 1.134 to 1.174 V. In addition, the resulting PSCs possess enhanced stability, the unencapsulated PSCs can maintain ≈96% and ≈97% of their initial PCE after 2000 h of aging under ambient conditions and 210 h under operation conditions.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are considered ideal candidates for future photovoltaic applications due to their excellent photovoltaic properties. Although solution-printed manufacturing has shown inherent potential for the low-cost, high-throughput production of thin-film semiconductor electronics, the high-quality and high-reproducibility deposition of large-area perovskite remains a bottleneck that restricts their commercialization due to the droplet coffee-ring effect (CRE). In this study, these issues are addressed by introducing an in situ polymer framework. The 3D framework formed by spontaneous cross-linking improves the precursor viscosity and homogenizes its heat diffusion coefficient, counteracting the lateral capillary flow of the colloidal particles and anchoring their flocculent movement. Thus, the Marangoni convection intensity is properly controlled to ensure high-quality perovskite films, which significantly enhances reproducibility in printing efficient photovoltaics by mitigating the CRE. Subsequently, the perovskite solar cells and modules achieve power conversion efficiencies of 23.94 and 17.53%, and exhibit positive environmental stability, retaining over 90 and 78% efficiency after storage for 2500 and 1600 h, respectively. This work may serves as a foundation for exploring precursor rheology to match the homogeneous deposition requirements of perovskite photovoltaics and facilitating the advancement of their printing manufacturing and commercialization transition.

Abstract
Defects at the top and bottom interfaces of three-dimensional (3D) perovskite photoabsorbers diminish the performance and operational stability of perovskite solar cells owing to charge recombination, ion migration and electric-field inhomogeneities1-5. Here we demonstrate that long alkyl amine ligands can generate near-phase-pure 2D perovskites at the top and bottom 3D perovskite interfaces and effectively resolve these issues. At the rear-contact side, we find that the alkyl amine ligand strengthens the interactions with the substrate through acid-base reactions with the phosphonic acid group from the organic hole-transporting self-assembled monolayer molecule, thus regulating the 2D perovskite formation. With this, inverted perovskite solar cells with double-side 2D/3D heterojunctions achieved a power conversion efficiency of 25.6% (certified 25.0%), retaining 95% of their initial power conversion efficiency after 1,000 h of 1-sun illumination at 85 °C in air.

Abstract
Tailoring multifunctional additives for performing interfacial modifications, improving crystallization, and passivating defects is instrumental for the fabrication of efficient and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, a Schiff base derivative, (chloromethylene) dimethyliminium chloride (CDCl), is introduced as an additive to modify the interface between the mesoporous TiO2 electron transport layer and the MAPbI3 light absorber during the annealing process. CDCl chemically links to TiO2 and MAPbI3 through coordination and hydrogen bonding, respectively, and results in the construction of fast electron extraction channels. CDCl also optimizes the energy-level alignment of the TiO2/MAPbI3 heterojunction and improves the pore-filling and crystallization of MAPbI3 in the mesoscopic scaffold, which inhibits nonradiative recombination and eliminates open-circuit voltage losses. As a result, an impressive power conversion efficiency of 19.74%, which is the best one ever reported, is obtained for printable carbon-based hole-conductor-free PSCs based on MAPbI3.

Abstract
Nickel oxide (NiOx ) is commonly used as a holetransporting material (HTM) in p-i-n perovskite solar cells. However, the weak chemical interaction between the NiOx and CH3 NH3 PbI3 (MAPbI3 ) interface results in poor crystallinity, ineffective hole extraction, and enhanced carrier recombination, which are the leading causes for the limited stability and power conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, two HTMs, TRUX-D1 (N2 ,N7 ,N12 -tris(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)-5,5,10,10,15,15-hexaheptyl-N2 ,N7 ,N12 -tris(4-methoxyphenyl)-10,15-dihydro-5H-diindeno[1,2-a:1',2'-c]fluorene-2,7,12-triamine) and TRUX-D2 (5,5,10,10,15,15-hexaheptyl-N2 ,N7 ,N12 -tris(4-methoxyphenyl)-N2 ,N7 ,N12 -tris(10-methyl-10H-phenothiazin-3-yl)-10,15-dihydro-5H-diindeno[1,2-a:1',2'-c]fluorene-2,7,12-triamine), are designed with a rigid planar C3 symmetry truxene core integrated with electron-donating amino groups at peripheral positions. The TRUX-D molecules are employed as effective interfacial layer (IFL) materials between the NiOx and MAPbI3 interface. The incorporation of truxene-based IFLs improves the quality of perovskite crystallinity, minimizes nonradiative recombination, and accelerates charge extraction which has been confirmed by various characterization techniques. As a result, the TRUX-D1 exhibits a maximum PCE of up to 20.8% with an impressive long-term stability. The unencapsulated device retains 98% of their initial performance following 210 days of aging in a glove box and 75.5% for the device after 80 days under ambient air condition with humidity over 40% at 25 °C.

Abstract
With the rapid rise in device performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), overcoming instabilities under outdoor operating conditions has become the most crucial obstacle toward their commercialization. Among stressors such as light, heat, voltage bias, and moisture, the latter is arguably the most critical, as it can decompose metal-halide perovskite (MHP) photoactive absorbers instantly through its hygroscopic components (organic cations and metal halides). In addition, most charge transport layers (CTLs) commonly employed in PSCs also degrade in the presence of water. Furthermore, photovoltaic module fabrication encompasses several steps, such as laser processing, subcell interconnection, and encapsulation, during which the device layers are exposed to the ambient atmosphere. Therefore, as a first step toward long-term stable perovskite photovoltaics, it is vital to engineer device materials toward maximizing moisture resilience, which can be accomplished by passivating the bulk of the MHP film, introducing passivation interlayers at the top contact, exploiting hydrophobic CTLs, and encapsulating finished devices with hydrophobic barrier layers, without jeopardizing device performance. Here, existing strategies for enhancing the performance stability of PSCs are reviewed and pathways toward moisture-resilient commercial perovskite devices are formulated.

Abstract
Inverted perovskite solar cells based on weakly polarized hole-transporting layers suffer from the problem of polarity mismatch with the perovskite precursor solution, resulting in a nonideal wetting surface. In addition to the bottom-up growth of the polycrystalline halide perovskite, this will inevitably worse the effects of residual strain and heterogeneity at the buried interface on the interfacial carrier transport and localized compositional deficiency. Here, we propose a multifunctional hybrid pre-embedding strategy to improve substrate wettability and address unfavorable strain and heterogeneities. By exposing the buried interface, it was found that the residual strain of the perovskite films was markedly reduced because of the presence of organic polyelectrolyte and imidazolium salt, which not only realized the halogen compensation and the coordination of Pb2+ but also the buried interface morphology and defect recombination that were well regulated. Benefitting from the above advantages, the power conversion efficiency of the targeted inverted devices with a bandgap of 1.62 eV was 21.93% and outstanding intrinsic stability. In addition, this coembedding strategy can be extended to devices with a bandgap of 1.55 eV, and the champion device achieved a power conversion efficiency of 23.74%. In addition, the optimized perovskite solar cells retained 91% of their initial efficiency (960 h) when exposed to an ambient relative humidity of 20%, with a T80 of 680 h under heating aging at 65 °C, exhibiting elevated durability.

Abstract
The heterogeneity of perovskite film crystallization along the vertical direction leads to voids and traps at the buried interfaces, hampering both efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Here, bovine serum albumin-functionalized Au nanoclusters (ABSA), combined with heavy gravity, high surface charge density, and strong interactions with the electron transport layer, are designed to reconstruct the buried interfaces for not only high-quality crystallization, but also improved carrier transfer. The ABSA macromolecules with amine function groups and larger surface charge density interact with the perovskite to improve the crystallinity, and gradually migrate towards the buried interface, healing the defective voids, hence suppressing surface recombination velocity from 3075 to 452 cm s-1 . The healed buried interface and the higher surface potential of ABSA-modified TiO2 lead to improved carrier extraction at the interface. The resulting solar cell attains a power conversion efficiency of 25.0% with negligible hysteresis and remarkable stability, maintaining 92.9% of their initial efficiency after 3200 h of exposure to the ambient atmosphere, they also exhibit better continuous irradiation stability compared to control devices. These findings provide a new metal-protein complex to eliminate the deleterious voids and defects at the buried interface for improved photovoltaic performance and stability.

Abstract
The buried interface of the perovskite layer has a profound influence on its film morphology, defect formation, and aging resistance from the outset, therefore, significantly affects the film quality and device performance of derived perovskite solar cells. Especially for FAPbI3 , although it has excellent optoelectronic properties, the spontaneous transition from the black perovskite phase to nonperovskite phase tends to start from the buried interface at the early stage of film formation then further propagate to degrade the whole perovskite. In this work, by introducing ─NH3 + rich proline hydrochloride (PF) with a conjugated rigid structure as a versatile medium for buried interface, it not only provides a solid α-phase FAPbI3 template, but also prevents the phase transition induced degradation. PF also acts as an effective interfacial stress reliever to enhance both efficiency and stability of flexible solar cells. Consequently, a champion efficiency of 24.61% (certified 23.51%) can be achieved, which is the highest efficiency among all reported values for flexible perovskite solar cells. Besides, devices demonstrate excellent shelf-life/light soaking stability (advanced level of ISOS stability protocols) and mechanical stability.

Abstract
In halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs), moderate lead iodide (PbI2) can enhance device efficiency by providing some passivation effects, but extremely active PbI2 leads to the current density-voltage hysteresis effect and device instability. In addition, defects distributed on the buried interface of tin oxide (SnO2)/perovskite will lead to the photogenerated carrier recombination. Here, rubidium chloride (RbCl) is introduced at the buried SnO2/perovskite interface, which not only acts as an interfacial passivator to interact with the uncoordinated tin ions (Sn4+) and fill the oxygen vacancy on the SnO2 surface but also converts PbI2 into an inactive (PbI2)2RbCl compound to stabilize the perovskite phase via a bottom-up evolution effect. These synergistic effects deliver a champion PCE of 22.13% with suppressed hysteresis for the W RbCl PSCs, in combination with enhanced environmental and thermal stability. This work demonstrates that the interfacial defect passivation and bottom-up excess PbI2 management using RbCl modifiers are promising strategies to address the outstanding challenges associated with PSCs.

Abstract
In recent years, optical pump-probe microscopy (PPM) has become a vital technique for spatiotemporally imaging electronic excitations and charge-carrier transport in metals and semiconductors. However, existing methods are limited by mechanical delay lines with a probe time window up to several nanoseconds (ns) or monochromatic pump and probe sources with restricted spectral coverage and temporal resolution, hindering their amenability in studying relatively slow processes. To bridge these gaps, we introduce a dual-hyperspectral PPM setup with a time window spanning from nanoseconds to milliseconds and single-nanosecond resolution. Our method features a wide-field probe tunable from 370 to 1000 nm and a pump spanning from 330 nm to 16 μm. We apply this PPM technique to study various two-dimensional metal-halide perovskites (2D-MHPs) as representative semiconductors by imaging their transient responses near the exciton resonances under both above-band gap electronic pump excitation and below-band gap vibrational pump excitation. The resulting spatially and temporally resolved images reveal insights into heat dissipation, film uniformity, distribution of impurity phases, and film-substrate interfaces. In addition, the single-nanosecond temporal resolution enables the imaging of in-plane strain wave propagation in 2D-MHP single crystals. Our method, which offers extensive spectral tunability and significantly improved time resolution, opens new possibilities for the imaging of charge carriers, heat, and transient phase transformation processes, particularly in materials with spatially varying composition, strain, crystalline structure, and interfaces.

Abstract
The effective control of light plays an important role in optoelectronic devices. However, the effect of anti-reflection thin film (ARTF) in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) (p-i-n) has so far remained elusive. Herein, MgF2 ARTF with different thicknesses (approximately 100, 330, and 560 nm) were deposited on the glass side of FTO conductive glass substrates by vacuum thermal evaporation. The results of reflectance and transmittance spectroscopy show that approximately 330 nm MgF2 ARTF can reduce reflectivity and increase transmittance on FTO conductive glass substrates. The results of SEM, XRD, and AFM show that the surface of amorphous MgF2 ARTF possesses a lot of nanoscale pits. The effect of the MgF2 ARTF on the performance of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) (p-i-n) was investigated. The power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of inverted PSCs without and with MgF2 ARTF are 18.20 and 21.28%, respectively. The significant improvement in PCE of the devices with MgF2 ARTF is caused by the improvement in short-circuit current density. The stability results of the devices show that the PCE remains above 70% of the initial PCE after 300 h illumination.

Abstract
With a stacking-layered architecture, the bilayer two-dimensional-three-dimensional (2D-3D) perovskite heterostructure (PHS) not only eliminates surface defects but also protects the 3D perovskite matrix from external stimuli. However, these bilayer 2D-3D PHSs suffer from impaired interfacial charge carrier transport due to the relatively insulating 2D perovskite fragments with a random phase distribution. Over the past decade, substantial efforts have been devoted to pioneering molecular and structural designs of the 2D perovskite interlayers for improving their charge carrier mobility, which enables state-of-the-art perovskite solar cells with high power conversion efficiency and exceptional operational stability. Herein, this review offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview on the recent progress of bilayer 2D-3D PHSs, encompassing advancements on spacer cation engineering, interfacial charge carrier modification, advanced deposition protocols, and characterization techniques. Then, the evolutionary trajectory of bilayer 2D-3D PHSs is outlined by summarizing its mainstream development trends, followed by a perspective discussion about its future research opportunities toward efficient and durable perovskite solar cells.

Abstract
The limited conductivity of existing transparent conducting oxide (TCO) greatly restricts the further performance improvement of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), especially for large-area devices. Herein, buried-metal-grid tin-doped indium oxide (BMG ITO) electrodes are developed to minimize the power loss caused by the undesirable high sheet resistance of TCOs. By burying 140-nm-thick metal grids into ITO using a photolithography technique, the sheet resistance of ITO is reduced from 15.0 to 2.7 Ω sq-1 . The metal step of BMG over ITO has a huge impact on the charge carrier transport in PSCs. The PSCs using BMG ITO with a low metal step deliver power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) significantly better than that of their counterparts with higher metal steps. Moreover, compared with the pristine ITO-based PSCs, the BMG ITO-based PSCs show a smaller PCE decrease when scaling up the active area of devices. The parallel-connected large-area PSCs with an active area of 102.8 mm2 reach a PCE of 22.5%. The BMG ITO electrodes are also compatible with the fabrication of inverted-structure PSCs and organic solar cells. The work demonstrates the great efficacy of improving the conductivity of TCO by BMG and opens up a promising avenue for constructing highly efficient large-area PSCs.

Abstract
Considering the direct influence of substrate surface nature on perovskite (PVK) film growth, buried interfacial engineering is crucial to obtain ideal perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, 1-(3-aminopropyl)-imidazole (API) is introduced at polytriarylamine (PTAA)/PVK interface to modulate the bottom property of PVK. First, the introduction of API improves the growth of PVK grains and reduces the Pb2+ defects and residual PbI2 present at the bottom of the film, contributing to the acquisition of high-quality PVK film. Besides, the presence of API can optimize the energy structure between PVK and PTAA, which facilitates the interfacial charge transfer. Density functional theory (DFT) reveals that the electron donor unit (R-C ═ N) of the API prefers to bind with Pb2+ traps at the PVK interface, while the formation of hydrogen bonds between the R-NH2 of API and I- strengthens the above binding ability. Consequently, the optimum API-treated inverted formamidinium-cesium (FA/Cs) PSCs yields a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.02% and exhibited favorable stability.

Abstract
For achieving high-efficiency perovskite solar cells, it is almost always necessary to substantially passivate defects and protect the perovskite structure at its interfaces with charge transport layers. Such a modification generally involves the post-treatment of the deposited perovskite film by spin coating, which cannot meet the technical demands of scaling up the production of perovskite photovoltaics. In this work, we demonstrate one-step construction of buried and capped double 1D/3D heterojunctions without the need for any post-treatment, which is achieved through facile tetraethylammonium trifluoroacetate (TEATFA) prefunctionalization on the SnO2 substrate. The functional TEATFA salt is first deposited onto the SnO2 substrate and reacts on this buried interface. Once the FAPbI3 perovskite precursor solution is dripped, a portion of the TEA+ cations spontaneously diffuse to the top surface over film crystallization. The TEATFA-based water-resistant 1D/3D TEAPbI3/FAPbI3 heterojunctions at both the buried and capped interfaces lead to much better photovoltaic performance and higher operational stability. Since this approach saves the need for any postsynthesis passivation, its feasibility for the fabrication of large-area perovskite photovoltaics is also showcased. Compared to ∼15% for a pristine 5 cm × 5 cm FAPbI3 mini-module without postsynthesis passivation, over 20% efficiency is achieved following the proposed route, demonstrating its great potential for larger-scale fabrication with fewer processing steps.

Abstract
Flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs) as a promising power source have grabbed surging attention from academia and industry specialists by integrating with different wearable and portable electronics. With the development of low-temperature solution preparation technology and the application of different engineering strategies, the power conversion efficiency of f-PSCs has approached 24%. Due to the inherent properties and application scenarios of f-PSCs, the study of strain in these devices is recognized as one of the key factors in obtaining ideal devices and promoting commercialization. The strains mainly from the change of bond and lattice volume can promote phase transformation, induce decomposition of perovskite film, decrease mechanical stability, etc. However, the effect of strain on the performance of f-PSCs has not been systematically summarized yet. Herein, the sources of strain, evaluation methods, impacts on f-PSCs, and the engineering strategies to modulate strain are summarized. Furthermore, the problems and future challenges in this regard are raised, and solutions and outlooks are offered. This review is dedicated to summarizing and enhancing the research into the strain of f-PSCs to provide some new insights that can further improve the optoelectronic performance and stability of flexible devices.

Abstract
Due to their greater opt electric performance, perovskite photovoltaics (PVs) present huge potential to be commercialized. Perovskite PV's high theoretical efficiency expands the available development area. The passivation of defects in perovskite films is crucial for approaching the theoretical limit. In addition to creating efficient passivation techniques, it is essential to direct the passivation approach by getting precise and real-time information on the trap states through measurements. Therefore, it is necessary to establish quantitative characterization methods for the trap states in energy and 3D spaces. The authors cover the characterization of the spatial and energy distributions of trap states in this article with an eye toward high-efficiency perovskite photovoltaics. After going over the strategies that have been created for characterizing and evaluating trap states, the authors will concentrate on how to direct the creative development of characterization techniques for trap states assessment and highlight the opportunities and challenges of future development. The 3D space and energy distribution mappings of trap states are anticipated to be realized. The review will give key guiding importance for further approaching the theoretical efficiency of perovskite photovoltaics, offering some future research direction and technological assistance for the development of appropriate targeted passivation technologies.

Abstract
Various additives have been introduced to assist in film preparation and defect passivation. Herein, fluoroiodobenzene (FIB) molecules with different numbers of F atoms were incorporated into perovskite films to optimize the film quality as well as passivate defects. Based on the calculation and experimental results, it was found that the FIB additives were inclined to exist at the bottom of the film because of the strong affinity between F atoms stemming from FIB molecules and O atoms stemming from TiO2, especially for molecules with more F atoms. By optimization of the FIB molecule, the perovskite film crystallinity was significantly improved, the carrier lifetimes were prolonged, and the charge extraction ability was also enhanced. The device with FIB with one F atom achieved a photoelectrical conversion efficiency as high as 22.89% with a Voc of 1.118 V, fill factor (FF) of 80.44%, and Jsc of 25.45 mA cm-2, which was much higher than that of the control device with an efficiency of 20.87%. Furthermore, FIB molecules with three and five F atoms also achieved higher efficiency than that of the control device. The devices with FIB molecules showed better stability than the devices without additives. The unencapsulated devices with FIB additives held 90% of their original efficiencies in an ambient environment with a temperature of 15-25 °C and a relative humidity of 20-30%, while the control device dropped to 76% after more than 1000 h.

Abstract
Exploring strategies to control the crystallization and modulate interfacial properties for high-quality perovskite film on industry-relevant textured crystalline silicon solar cells is highly valued in the perovskite/silicon tandem photovoltaics community. The formation of a 2D/3D perovskite heterojunction is widely employed to passivate defects and suppress ion migration in the film surface of perovskite solar cells. However, realizing solution-processed heterostructures at the buried interface faces solvent incompatibilities with the challenge of underlying-layer disruption, and texture incompatibilities with the challenge of uneven coverage. Here, a hybrid two-step deposition method is used to prepare robust 2D perovskites with cross-linkable ligands underneath the 3D perovskite. This structurally coherent interlayer benefits by way of preferred crystal growth of strain-free and uniform upper perovskite, inhibits interfacial defect-induced instability and recombination, and promotes charge-carrier extraction with ideal energy-level alignment. The broad applicability of the bottom-contact heterostructure for different textured substrates with conformal coverage and various precursor solutions with intact properties free of erosion are demonstrated. With this buried interface engineering strategy, the resulting perovskite/silicon tandem cells, based on industrially textured Czochralski (CZ) silicon, achieve a certified efficiency of 28.4% (1.0 cm2 ), while retaining 89% of the initial PCE after over 1000 h operation.

Abstract
Engineering the buried interfaces of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is crucial for optimizing the device performance. We herein report a novel strategy by modifying the ETL-FTO interface with MgO, as well as the interface between the perovskite layer (PVKL) and the SnO2 electron transfer layer (ETL) with formamidine bromide (FABr). The dual-interface ETL engineering substantially improved the photoelectric conversion efficiency (19.62 → 22.04%) and suppressed the hysteresis index (14.98 → 1.09%). The structure-activity relationship was explored by using transient photoelectric and time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectroscopic analyses. It was found that the FABr treatment enhanced the PVKL crystallinity and the PVKL-ETL interaction and that the MgO modification dramatically retarded the ion migration, which together optimized the ETL function. The mechanism underlying the influence of ion distribution on the dynamics of ions and free carriers is discussed, which may be helpful for the rational design of high-performance PSCs.

Abstract
Carbon-based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) have the impressive characteristics of good stability and potential commercialization. The insulating layers play crucial roles in charge modulation at the buried perovskite interface in mesoporous C-PSCs. In this work, the effects of three different tunnel oxide layers on the performance of air-processed C-PSCs are scrutinized to unveil the passivating quality. Devices with ZrO2-passivated TiO2 electron contacts exhibit higher power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) than their Al2O3 and SiO2 counterparts. The porous feature and robust chemical properties of ZrO2 ensure the high quality of the perovskite absorber, thus ensuring the high repeatability of our devices. An efficiency level of 14.96% puts our device among the state-of-the-art hole-conductor-free C-PSCs, and our unencapsulated device maintains 88.9% of its initial performance after 11,520 h (480 days) of ambient storage. These results demonstrate that the function of tunnel oxides at the perovskite/electron contact interface is important to manipulate the charge transfer dynamics that critically affect the performance and stability of C-PSCs.

Abstract
We investigated triple-halide perovskite (THP) absorber layers with 5 mol % MAPbCl3 added to the double-halide perovskite (Cs0.22FA0.78)Pb(I0.85Br0.15)3. As a deposition method, a highly scalable printing technique, slot-die coating, with a subsequent annealing step was used. We found a strong power conversion efficiency (PCE) dependence of the corresponding solar cells on the annealing temperature. The device performance deteriorated when increasing the annealing temperature from 125 to 170 °C, mainly via losses in the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and in the fill factor (FF). To understand the mechanisms behind this performance loss, extensive characterizations were performed on both, the THP thin films and the completed solar-cell stacks, as a function of annealing temperature. Correlative scanning electron microscopy analyses, i.e., electron backscatter diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and cathodoluminescence, in addition to X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence, confirmed the presence of PbI2 platelets on the surface of the THP thin films. Moreover, the area fraction of the PbI2 platelets on the film surface increased with increasing annealing temperature. The deteriorated device performance when the annealing temperature is increased from 125 to 170 °C is explained by the increased series resistance and increased interface recombination caused by the PbI2 platelets, leading to decreased Voc and FF values of the solar-cell devices. Thus, the correlative analyses provided insight into microscopic origins of the efficiency losses.

Abstract
Owing to the merits of low cost and high power conversion efficiency (PCE), perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become the best candidate to replace the commonly used silicon solar cells. However, PSCs have been slow to enter the market for a number of reasons, including poor stability, high toxicity, and rigorous preparation process. Passivation strategies including surface passivation and bulk passivation have been successfully applied to improve the device performance of PSCs. The passivation of the defects at the buried interface, which is regarded as a key strategy to breakthrough the device efficiency and stability of PSCs in the future, is ongoing with challenge. Herein, in detail the recent passivation of the buried interface is introduced from three aspects: perovskite layer, buried interlayer, and transport layer. The passivation effect of the buried interface is clearly demonstrated through three categories of salts, organics, and 2D materials. In addition, the transport layer is classified into electron transport layer (ETL) and hole transport layer (HTL). These classifications can help to have a clear understanding of substances which generate passivating effect and guide the continuous promotion of the follow-up buried interface passivating work.

Abstract
The buried interface in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is pivotal for achieving high efficiency and stability. However, it is challenging to study and optimize the buried interface due to its non-exposed feature. Here, a facile and effective strategy is developed to modify the SnO2 /perovskite buried interface by passivating the buried defects in perovskite and modulating carrier dynamics via incorporating formamidine oxalate (FOA) in SnO2 nanoparticles. Both formamidinium and oxalate ions show a longitudinal gradient distribution in the SnO2 layer, mainly accumulating at the SnO2 /perovskite buried interface, which enables high-quality upper perovskite films, minimized defects, superior interface contacts, and matched energy levels between perovskite and SnO2 . Significantly, FOA can simultaneously reduce the oxygen vacancies and tin interstitial defects on the SnO2 surface and the FA+ /Pb2+ associated defects at the perovskite buried interface. Consequently, the FOA treatment significantly improves the efficiency of the PSCs from 22.40% to 25.05% and their storage- and photo-stability. This method provides an effective target therapy of buried interface in PSCs to achieve very high efficiency and stability.

Abstract
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated over 25% power conversion efficiency (PCE) via efficient surface passivation. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art perovskite post-treatment strategies can solely heal the top interface defects. Herein, an ion-diffusion management strategy is proposed to concurrently modulate the top interfaces, buried interfaces, and bulk interfaces (i.e., grain boundaries) of perovskite film, enabling all-interface defect passivation. Specifically, this method is enabled by applying double interactive salts of octylammonium iodide (OAI) and guanidinium chloride (GACl) onto the 3D perovskite surface. It is revealed that the hydrogen-bonding interaction between OA+ and GA+ decelerates the OA+ diffusion and therefore forms a dimensionally broadened 2D capping layer. Additionally, the diffusion of GA+ and Cl- determines the composition of the bulk and buried interface of PSCs. As a result, n-inter-i-inter-p, i.e., five-layer structured PSCs can be obtained with a champion PCE of 25.43% (certified 24.4%). This approach also enables the substantially improved operational stability of perovskite solar cells.

Abstract
Increasing the open-circuit voltage (Voc) stands as a critical strategy for further improving the efficiency of organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Lewis basic polymers, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), are considered as an effective approach to reduce the nonradiative recombination at the perovskite surface and protect the photoactive layer against moisture. However, the insulating nature of PMMA inherently leads to increased series resistance in PSCs. Here, we propose a multifunctional passivation layer (FG-PMMA) composed of fluorinated graphene (FG) and PMMA, offering high conductivity, a good passivation effect, and excellent hole transportation capabilities. The introduction of FG not only reduces the resistance of the PMMA layer but also improves its hydrophobicity. More importantly, we found that fluoride, which acts as a p-type dopant in graphene, can further reduce the nonradiative recombination centers by forming PbF2 with uncoordinated Pb0 at the perovskite/hole transport layer interface. As a result, the introduction of FG-PMMA significantly enhances the photovoltaic performance, with a record-high open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.247 V and an average power conversion efficiency of 22.91%, higher than those of PMMA-based devices (20.75%, 1.210 V), as well as increasing the device's moisture stability, with over 90% of the initial efficiency maintained after 1200 h of aging at room temperature and a relative humidity of 35%.

Abstract
Perovskite quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) with high color purity and wide color gamut have good application prospects in the next generation of display technology. However, colloidal perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) may introduce a large number of defects during the film-forming process, which is not conducive to the luminous efficiency of the device. Meanwhile, the disordered film formation of PQDs will form interfacial defects and reduce the device performance. Here, we report an interface-induced crystallinity enhancement (IICE) strategy to increase the crystallinity of PQDs at the hole transport layer (HTL)/PQD interface. As a result, both the Br- vacancies in the PQD film and the interfacial defects were well passivated and the leakage current was also suppressed. We achieved QLEDs with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 16.45% and current efficiency (CE) of 61.77 cd/A, showing improved performance to more than twice that of the control devices. The IICE strategy paves a new way to enhance the crystallinity of PQD films, so as to improve the performance of QLEDs for application in the future display field.

Abstract
The power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of n-i-p perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are significantly affected by inherent defects of SnO2 and perovskite layers. In this work, we incorporate 2-bromo-3-thiophenic acid (BrThCOOH) as a multifunctional passivant to simultaneously passivate the defects of SnO2 surface and perovskite layer. BrThCOOH permeates evenly into the MAPbI3 and coordinates with Pb2+ and iodine vacancies (VI+) to reduce surface defect density and inhibit the decomposition of MAPbI3. Carboxylic acid effectively passives the oxygen vacancy on the surface of SnO2 through coordination bonds, reducing the probability of electron capture by SnO2 surface defects, thus contributing to electron transport in device. The interaction of BrThCOOH with MAPbI3 and SnO2 surfaces leads to an upward shift in energy levels, reducing energy loss during charge migration. The optimal MAPbI3 device with BrThCOOH-modified SnO2 (T-SnO2) reveals an improved PCE of 21.12%, much higher than that of the control one (19.12%). The hydrophobicity of BrThCOOH-modified MAPbI3 is also improved, which is beneficial to the durability of the device. After 100 h of storage in the environment, the generated PSCs maintain their initial PCE of 75%, demonstrating excellent long-term stability without any encapsulation.

Abstract
Although annealing is a commonly used crystallization method for perovskite films in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the high thermal energy consumption and limitations on flexible devices hinder their further industrial application. We herein propose an annealing-free crystallization technology for perovskite films, assisted by the Zr-metal-organic framework (MOF) interface between SnO2 and the perovskite. It is found that the Zr-MOF interface can accelerate the formation of perovskite intermediates and promote their conversion into perovskite crystals even without annealing. The trap density thus decreases by about one fold, accompanied by significant increases in electron and hole mobilities, resulting in enhanced carrier extraction and suppressed charge recombination. Therefore, the Zr-MOF-based PSC attains a power convention efficiency (PCE) of 20.24%, 2.2 times that (9.26%) of the pristine PSC. Furthermore, the Zr-MOF interface layer can significantly improve the air and thermal stabilities of PSCs. The Zr-MOF-based PSC exhibits 93% of its initial PCE versus 52% for the pristine PSC after 1018 h of storage in air. Additionally, after 360 h of continuous heating at 65 °C, the Zr-MOF-based PSC retains 91% of its initial PCE against 44% for the pristine PSC.

Abstract
Design and modification of interfaces have been the main strategies in developing perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Among the interfacial treatments, dipole molecules have emerged as a practical approach to improve the efficiency and stability of PSCs due to their unique and versatile abilities to control the interfacial properties. Despite extensive applications in conventional semiconductors, working principles and design of interfacial dipoles in the performance/stability enhancement of PSCs are lacking an insightful elucidation. In this review, we first discuss the fundamental properties of electric dipoles and the specific roles of interfacial dipoles in PSCs. Then we systematically summarize the recent progress of dipole materials in several key interfaces to achieve efficient and stable PSCs. In addition to such discussions, we also dive into reliable analytical techniques to support the characterization of interfacial dipoles in PSCs. Finally, we highlight future directions and potential avenues for research in the development of dipolar materials through tailored molecular designs. Our review sheds light on the importance of continued efforts in this exciting emerging field, which holds great potential for the development of high-performance and stable PSCs as commercially demanded.

Ultralong Carrier Lifetime Exceeding 20 µs in Lead Halide Perovskite Film Enable Efficient Solar Cells. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2212126.

Abstract
The carrier lifetime is one of the key parameters for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, it is still a great challenge to achieve long carrier lifetimes in perovskite films that are comparable with perovskite crystals owning to the large trap density resulting from the unavoidable defects in grain boundaries and surfaces. Here, by regulating the electronic structure with the developed 2-thiopheneformamidinium bromide (ThFABr) combined with the unique film structure of 2D perovskite layer caped 2D/3D polycrystalline perovskite film, an ultralong carrier lifetime exceeding 20 µs and carrier diffusion lengths longer than 6.5 µm are achieved. These excellent properties enable the ThFA-based devices to yield a champion efficiency of 24.69% with a minimum VOC loss of 0.33 V. The unencapsulated device retains ≈95% of its initial efficiency after 1180 h by max power point (MPP) tracking under continuous light illumination. This work provides important implications for structured 2D/(2D/3D) perovskite films combined with unique FA-based spacers to achieve ultralong carrier lifetime for high-performance PSCs and other optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Constructing 2D/3D perovskite heterojunctions is effective for the surface passivation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, previous reports that studying perovskite post-treatment only physically deposits 2D perovskite on the 3D perovskite, and the bulk 3D perovskite remains defective. Herein, we propose Cl2-dissolved chloroform as a multifunctional solvent for concurrently constructing 2D/3D perovskite heterojunction and inducing the secondary growth of the bulk grains. The mechanism of how Cl2 affects the performance of PSCs is clarified. Specifically, the dissolved Cl2 reacts with the 3D perovskite, leading to Cl/I ionic exchange and Ostwald ripening of the bulk grains. The generated Cl- further diffuses to passivate the bulk crystal and buried interface of PSCs. Hexylammonium bromide dissolved in the solvent reacts with the residual PbI2 to form 2D/3D heterojunctions on the surface. As a result, we achieved high-performance PSCs with a champion efficiency of 24.21% and substantially improved thermal, ambient, and operational stability.

Abstract
All-perovskite tandem solar cells beckon as lower cost alternatives to conventional single-junction cells. Solution processing has enabled rapid optimization of perovskite solar technologies, but new deposition routes will enable modularity and scalability, facilitating technology adoption. Here, we utilize 4-source vacuum deposition to deposit FA0.7Cs0.3Pb(IxBr1-x)3 perovskite, where the bandgap is changed through fine control over the halide content. We show how using MeO-2PACz as a hole-transporting material and passivating the perovskite with ethylenediammonium diiodide reduces nonradiative losses, resulting in efficiencies of 17.8% in solar cells based on vacuum-deposited perovskites with a bandgap of 1.76 eV. By similarly passivating a narrow-bandgap FA0.75Cs0.25Pb0.5Sn0.5I3 perovskite and combining it with a subcell of evaporated FA0.7Cs0.3Pb(I0.64Br0.36)3, we report a 2-terminal all-perovskite tandem solar cell with champion open circuit voltage and efficiency of 2.06 V and 24.1%, respectively. This dry deposition method enables high reproducibility, opening avenues for modular, scalable multijunction devices even in complex architectures.

Abstract
The defects and strain of the buried SnO2/perovskite interface seriously affects the performances of n-i-p type perovskite solar cells. Herein, caesium closo-dodecaborate (B12H12Cs2) is introduced into buried interface to improve the device performances. B12H12Cs2 can passivate the bilateral defects of the buried interface, including the oxygen vacancy and uncoordinated Sn2+ defects on SnO2 side and the uncoordinated Pb2+ defects on perovskite side. Three-dimensional aromatic B12H12Cs2 can promote the interface charge transfer and extraction. [B12H12]2- can enhance the interface connection of buried interface by forming B-H---H-N dihydrogen bond and coordination bonds with metal ions. Meanwhile, the crystal properties of perovskite films can be improved and the buried tensile strain can be released by B12H12Cs2 due to the matched lattice between B12H12Cs2 and perovskite. In addition, Cs+ can diffuse into perovskite to reduce the hysteresis behavior by inhibiting the I- migration. Arising from the enhanced connection performances, passivated defects, improved perovskite crystallization, enhanced charge extraction, inhibited ions migration, released tensile strain at buried interface by B12H12Cs2, the corresponding devices yield a champion power conversion efficiency of 22.10% with enhanced stability. The stability of devices by B12H12Cs2 modification have been improved, and it can still maintain 72.5% of the original efficiency after 1440 h, while the control devices can only maintain 20% of the original efficiency after aging in air condition of 20-30% RH.

Abstract
Controlling the perovskite morphology and defects at the buried perovskite-substrate interface is challenging for inverted perovskite solar cells. In this work, we report an amphiphilic molecular hole transporter, (2-(4-(bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)phenyl)-1-cyanovinyl)phosphonic acid, that features a multifunctional cyanovinyl phosphonic acid group and forms a superwetting underlayer for perovskite deposition, which enables high-quality perovskite films with minimized defects at the buried interface. The resulting perovskite film has a photoluminescence quantum yield of 17% and a Shockley-Read-Hall lifetime of nearly 7 microseconds and achieved a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.4% with an open-circuit voltage of 1.21 volts and a fill factor of 84.7%. In addition, 1-square centimeter cells and 10-square centimeter minimodules show PCEs of 23.4 and 22.0%, respectively. Encapsulated modules exhibited high stability under both operational and damp heat test conditions.

Abstract
Deep traps stemming from the defects formed at the surfaces and grain boundaries of the perovskite films are the main reasons of nonradiative recombination and material degradation, which significantly affect efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, a spontaneous internal encapsulation strategy was developed by constructing a dual interfacial perovskite heterojunction at the top and buried interface of the three-dimensional (3D) perovskite film. The spacer cations of the two-dimensional (2D) perovskite structure interacted strongly with the 3D perovskite to passivate the defects and optimize the energy level alignment. Meanwhile, the interfacial perovskite heterojunction underearth delayed the crystallization speed and improved the crystallization quality of the upper 3D perovskite. Thanks to these positive effects, the PSC exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 22.92% with good reproducibility. Significantly, the unencapsulated device with the dual interfacial perovskite heterojunction maintained 88% of its initial efficiency after 2900 h under 65 ± 5% RH in air.

Abstract
Stability and scalability are essential and urgent requirements for the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which are retarded by the non-ideal interface leading to non-radiative recombination and degradation. Extensive efforts are devoted to reducing the defects at the perovskite surface. However, the effects of the buried interface on the degradation and non-radiative recombination need to be further investigated. Herein, an omnibearing strategy to modify buried and top surfaces of perovskite film to reduce interfacial defects, by incorporating aluminum oxide (Al2 O3 ) as a dielectric layer and growth scaffolds (buried surface) and phenethylammonium bromide as a passivation layer (buried and top surfaces), is demonstrated. Consequently, the open-circuit voltage is extensively boosted from 1.02 to 1.14 V with the incorporation of Al2 O3 filling the voids between grains, resulting in dense morphology of buried interface and reduced recombination centers. Finally, the impressive efficiencies of 23.1% (0.1 cm2 ) and 22.4% (1 cm2 ) are achieved with superior stability, which remain 96% (0.1 cm2 ) and 89% (1 cm2 ) of its initial performance after 1200 (0.1 cm2 ) and 2500 h (1 cm2 ) illumination, respectively. The dual modification provides a universal method to reduce interfacial defects, revealing a promising prospect in developing high-performance PSCs and modules.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2208260.

Abstract
Given that it is closely related to perovskite crystallization and interfacial trap densities, buried interfacial engineering is crucial for creating effective and stable perovskite solar cells. Compared with the in-depth studies on the defect at the top perovskite interface, exploring the defect of the buried side of perovskite film is relatively complicated and scanty owing to the non-exposed feature. Herein, the degradation process is probed from the buried side of perovskite films with continuous illumination and its effects on morphology and photoelectronic characteristics with a facile lift-off method. Additionally, a buffer layer of Piperazine Dihydriodide (PDI2 ) is inserted into the imbedded bottom interface. The PDI2 buffer layer is able to lubricate the mismatched thermal expansion between perovskite and substrate, resulting in the release of lattice strain and thus a void-free buried interface. With the PDI2 buffer layer, the degradation originates from the growing voids and increasing non-radiative recombination at the imbedded bottom interfaces are suppressed effectively, leading to prolonged operation lifetime of the perovskite solar cells. As a result, the power conversion efficiency of an optimized p-i-n inverted photovoltaic device reaches 23.47% (with certified 23.42%) and the unencapsulated devices maintain 90.27% of initial efficiency after 800 h continuous light soaking.
