Abstract

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) offer advantages like low cost and high efficiency but suffer from stability and robustness issues. This research presents a holistic design using an interpenetrating perovskite/electron-transporting-layer (ETL) interface formed by reacting a tin dioxide (SnO2) layer with excess organic halide and a perovskite layer with excess lead halide. PSCs with this interface achieve efficiencies up to 22.2% (rigid) and 20.1% (flexible), maintaining 82% and 85% of initial efficiency after 1000 hours of operation and 2500 bending cycles, respectively. Advanced characterizations reveal the enhanced performance is due to improved interface integrity.
