Abstract
As an emerging photovoltaic technology, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have experienced rapid advancement due to their superior photoelectric properties. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of inverted p-i-n PSCs are constrained by buried interface defects formed by the inadequate wettability of perovskite precursors on the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). This study addresses this issue by modifying the buried interface of perovskite films with dimethylammonium iodide (DMAI). The treatment with DMAI results in improved morphology of perovskite films and enhances the carrier transport performance. Consequently, the PCE of p-i-n PSCs treated with DMAI reaches 23.72 %, compared to 21.01 % for the control devices. Furthermore, the long-term stability of the PSCs has been improved, maintaining over 80 % of their initial PCE after 30 days of storage at room temperature and 40 % relative humidity.
