Abstract
Polycrystalline perovskite films feature distinct facet orientations on the surface, which give rise to diverse chemical and electronic landscapes. These facet variations manifest in differences in optoelectronic characteristics, including energy level alignment and carrier mobility. Heterojunction structures, a staple in traditional photovoltaic devices, involve the strategic combination of two distinct components with unique optoelectronic properties. The heterogeneity of optoelectronic properties across the facets offers opportunities to create junctions that can enhance device performance. Here, we engineer a bilayer facet heterojunction (FHJ) in a perovskite-based photovoltaic device through integrating two films expressing distinct crystal facets (001)/(111). The buried interface of the FHJ devices demonstrates effective type II band alignment. The FHJ has propelled the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of evaporated perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to 24.92%. The operational stability of the target device has been significantly improved by retaining 91.7% of its initial performance after 2,000 h of operation at maximum power output.
