Constructive molecular configurations for surface-defect passivation of perovskite photovoltaics

TL;DR: The chemical environment of a functional group that is activated for defect passivation was systematically investigated with theophylline, caffeine, and theobromine and hydrogen-bond formation between N-H and I (iodine) assisted the primary C=O binding with the antisite Pb defect to maximize surface-defect binding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caffeine Improves the Performance and Thermal Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells

TL;DR: In this paper, 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, a commodity chemical with two conjugated carboxyl groups better known by its common name caffeine, improves the performance and thermal stability of perovskite solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perovskite-polymer composite cross-linker approach for highly-stable and efficient perovskite solar cells.

TL;DR: Here Han et al. choose a polymer with proper molecular structure to crosslink the perovskite grains to greatly improve the device stability, and all photovoltaic parameters are significantly enhanced in the solar cells and the devices also show excellent stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interface and Defect Engineering for Metal Halide Perovskite Optoelectronic Devices.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of various strategies that attempt to modify the interfacial characteristics, control the crystal growth, and understand the defect physics in metal halide perovskites, for both solar cell and LED applications, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Polymerization-Assisted Grain Growth Strategy for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

TL;DR: Starting from the addition of small monomers in the PbI2 precursor, a polymerization-assisted grain growth strategy is introduced in the sequential deposition method, and a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.0% is obtained.
