Abstract
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been rapidly advancing in efficiency and stability in recent years, moving towards commercialization. However, their practical application has been hindered by the toxicity of lead ions (Pb2+). The leakage of Pb can from various interfaces. In this study, we develop an all-interfaces engineering strategy utilizing polyethyleneimine (PEI) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): Co-bpdc (bpdc=4,4’-biphenyldicarboxylate) to block lead leakage across all interfaces. PEI is applied at the buried interface, facilitating heterogeneous nucleation and larger grain growth. As a competitor for residual solvents, PEI also minimizes voids and captures escaping Pb2+. Co-bpdc reacts with Pb2+ ions to hinder their escape and passivate top interface defects. This approach resulted in boosted power conversion efficiency (PCE), reaching 11.17% for carbon-based CsPbBr3 device. Additionally, this strategy significantly reduced the lead leakage rate and enhanced the durability of PSCs.
