- Abstract
Tin halide perovskite solar cells are promising for the next generation of highly efficient photovoltaics. Their commercialization can be accelerated by increasing their stability in moisture and oxygen. Herein, an n‐type organic molecule (IO‐4Cl) is applied as an interlayer between the perovskite films and electron transport layers in p‐i‐n structured devices. The electron‐rich indacenodithieno‐[3,2‐b]thiophene enhances electron transport, while the hydrocarbon side chains and rigid conjugated backbone isolate air. It is also shown that the C═O in IO‐4Cl can coordinate with Sn2+ on perovskite films' surface and grain boundaries to enhance perovskite crystal stability. In addition, IO‐4Cl slows down crystallization dynamics, resulting in lower non‐radiation recombination. The moisture ingress in the perovskite films is tracked under high relative humidity (RH) and it is found that IO‐4Cl can mitigate moisture infiltration. Finally, the devices with IO‐4Cl maintain 95% of the initial power conversion efficiency after 1200 h of storage in a nitrogen‐filled glovebox, and their stability in ambient air (60–80% RH) is significantly improved against pristine devices, thus demonstrating the beneficial effects of IO‐4Cl interlayer on device stability.
