Here, resultantly bifunctional additive is proposed for organic active layer, which can greatly enhance humidity endurance during the air-processing of the active layer and device stability in the meantime. Intriguingly, with 1% octamethyltrisiloxane (3Si) as the additive, casting PM6:L8-BO active layer even in 90% relative humidity (RH) air could show comparable efficiency to that in N<sub>2</sub> condition. Furthermore, the 3Si-processed active layers also display remarkably enhanced thermal and light stabilities in conventional OSCs. After thermal aging at 85 °C for 1000 h and simulated solar light aging with UV band at 100 mW cm<sup>−2</sup> and 55°C for 1000 h, the 3Si-processed PM6:L8-BO binary OSCs maintain 91.6% and 86.1% of the initial efficiency, leading to final averaged efficiencies of 16.17% and 15.42%, respectively. The results represent the most stable OSCs based on additive strategy. The universality of siloxane as a humidity-resistant and stabilizing agent is also confirmed with other active layer systems, paving a way for broader application of the bifunctional additive.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"125 19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142793189","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}

Vacuum deposition offers a potential alternative but struggles with controlling perovskite phases and ensuring sufficient precursor reactions. Here, the study presents a hybrid evaporation-solution approach using a large cation-based pseudo-halogen anion salt (guanidine thiocyanate) and a compensating cation salt (methylammonium iodide) as co-additives to finely modulate the phase transition process. This approach eliminates the need for intermediate-phase transitions, promotes sufficient precursor reactions, and facilitates the formation of highly oriented α-phase perovskites prior to annealing. Consequently, it prevents detrimental δ-phase formation, yielding enlarged, homogeneous perovskite grains with significantly reduced defects. The resulting p-i-n-structured PSCs achieve a maximum efficiency of 24.72% and a low open-circuit voltage loss of 0.377 V, coupled with significantly improved stability.

Theoretically, the study reveals explicitly that quaternary medium-entropy PBAs (Q-ME-PBAs), composed of Fe, Ni, Co, and Cu, demonstrate minimal lattice volume variations and low diffusion barriers during K<sup>+</sup> ion interactions.

Consequently, leveraging the structural and compositional advantages, the resultant Q-ME-PBAs cathode showcases exceptional cycling performance, maintaining over 90% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 0.25 C with a high initial coulombic efficiency of 94.4% and retaining 74.7% capacity even after an ultra-long 10 000 cycles at 3.75 C over 147 days.
