Molecularly Engineered Interfaces in Metal Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

摘要

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation thin-film photovoltaic technology owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties and cost-effectiveness. To gain the full potential of device performance, an in-depth understanding of the surface/interface science is an urgent need. Here, we present a review of molecularly engineered studies on interface modifications of PSCs. We elaborate a systematic classification of the existing optimization techniques employed in molecularly engineered perovskite and interface materials and analyze the insights underlying the reliability issues and functional behaviors. The achievements allow us to highlight the crucial strengths of molecular design for further tailoring of the interfacial properties, mitigating the nonradiative losses, optimizing the device performance, and retarding the degradation process of PSCs. Finally, the remaining challenges and potential development directions of molecularly engineered interfaces for high-performance and stable PSCs are also proposed.
