Here, a novel analytical method is presented to calculate optoelectronic parameters based on the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) at the weak and strong absorption regimes. This approach allows to determine meaningful physical parameters such as the average and front‐surface collection efficiencies, revealing imperfect carrier collection in perovskite solar cells. By applying the method to devices with and without an electron transport layer, clear differences in interfacial extraction efficiency are revealed, showcasing the method's utility. The results suggest that the total collection cannot be described by simple multiplicative or additive electron and hole collection models, but rather reflects a more nuanced interplay governed by extraction velocities. The proposed methodology offers rapid evaluation of device interfaces without relying on transient techniques or traditional IQE models in which perfect carrier extraction is assumed.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145311014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Resulting binary OSCs yield a remarkable efficiency of 20.1% with an impressive fill factor (FF) of 81.9%. The achieved FF is the highest reported so far for the PM6:L8‐BO community.

However, the 3D morphology of ZnMP particles poses challenges for crystallographic control, as their random orientations and large surface areas intensify hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), corrosion, and dendritic growth. Here, a dual‐functional etching strategy using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is reported to selectively modify ZnMP surfaces and enrich thermodynamically stable (002) crystal planes.
