Abstract
Efficient and stable wide-band-gap (WBG) perovskites are pivotal for advancing tandem photovoltaic efficiency beyond the thermodynamic limits of single-junction cells. However, the development of these materials, particularly in multi-cation (e.g., formamidinium [FA]/methylammonium [MA]/cesium [Cs]) mixed-halide compositions, is severely hampered by light-induced phase segregation and large open-circuit voltage deficits. This instability originates from compositional heterogeneity established during film crystallization, leading to localized band-gap variations and detrimental carrier recombination pathways. Here, we report a molecular-complex doping strategy that achieves spatially homogeneous elemental distribution in 1.78 eV FA0.8MA0.1Cs0.1(I0.6Br0.4)3 perovskite films. Consequently, we fabricate a WBG perovskite solar cell that delivers a Voc exceeding 1.38 V (surpassing 90% of its thermodynamic limit) and a power conversion efficiency of over 20.5%, with a fill factor above 83%. Integrating this optimized subcell with a narrow-band-gap perovskite, we demonstrate a monolithic all-perovskite tandem solar cell achieving a power conversion efficiency of 30.4% (certified at 29.7%).
