Abstract
It is widely accepted that non-radiative recombination losses in the wide-bandgap (WBG) subcell dominate carrier recombination processes in perovskite tandem photovoltaics. We demonstrate that healing the perovskite top-surface with an additive potassium thioglycolate (PT) inhibits Pb-Pb dimer formation at the top surface, which is especially urgent in ultra-WBG perovskite CsxFA1-xPb(I1-yBry)3 (y>0.6). Concurrently, field effect passivation, induced by the ordered arrangement of linear diamine 1,3-diammonium (PDA2+) and associated adequate surface fixed charge, are reconstituted. This “healing-reconstruction” strategy suppresses cross-interface recombination and boosts open circuit voltage (VOC), delivering the highest VOC value reported to date for 1.91 eV perovskite. The strategy allows us to approach the potential of VOC (VOC losses<10% of the SQ limit) in single-junction applications employing band gaps in the range from 1.6 to 1.9 eV, that is critical for tandem solar cells.
