Abstract
The efficiency of tin-based perovskite solar cells, particularly the inorganic CsSnI3, remains far below that of lead-based counterparts due to the substantial voltage loss at the charge transport layer-perovskite interface. Systematic research shows that the voltage loss in the CsSnI3 perovskite planar solar cells is mainly due to the reduction in the splitting of the quasi-Fermi energy level and the increase in the energy band bending at the electron transport layer (ETL)-perovskite interface. In this study, we propose the fullerene derivative tetramethylcyclobutadiene-C60 (TMCB), which has the high lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level, as an ETL for CsSnI3 perovskite planar solar cells to minimize voltage losses. The TMCB ETL has been demonstrated to facilitate CsSnI3-based perovskite solar cells to achieve a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 14.95% with a high open circuit voltage of 0.81 V measured under AM 1.5G irradiation.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
