Abstract
An electron-transport layer with appropriate energy alignment and enhanced charge transfer is critical for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In addition, interface stress and lattice distortion are inevitable during the crystallization process of perovskite. Herein, IT-4F is introduced into PSCs at the buried SnO2 and perovskite interface, which assists in releasing the residual stress in the perovskite layer. Meanwhile, the work function of SnO2/IT-4F is lower than that of SnO2, which facilitates charge transfer from perovskite to ETL and consequently leads to a significant improvement in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) to 23.73%. The VOC obtained is as high as 1.17 V, corresponding to a low voltage deficit of 0.38 V for a 1.55 eV bandgap. Consequently, the device based on IT-4F maintains 94% of the initial PCE over 2700 h when stored in N2 and retains 87% of the initial PCE after operation for 1000 h.
