A weaker bonding of the interfacial molecule with the substrate usually implies a stronger bonding with the perovskite that could lead to uncontrollable insertion of the interfacial molecule into the perovskite bulk, resulting in device degradation. Here we select bis(2-aminoethyl) ether (BAE) as the interfacial molecule between the perovskite and the electron transport layer (ETL) in n–i–p PSCs and develop a strategy to harmonize the strength of the bilateral bonds of BAE. In particular, we manipulate the electronic structure of the ETL with doping to increase the strength of the BAE–ETL bond. This thereby results in a weakening of the BAE–perovskite bond.
