Recently, scalability has also been well addressed by manipulating the perovskite crystal growth, investigation of device engineer as well as optimization of up-scaling techniques. However, the operational stability of the device is still not good enough to compete with other well-established PVs. It is reported that degradation of the device always starts from the interfaces. Therefore, we are dedicated in designing and investigating different passivation materials as well as solvent engineering at the interface between the perovskite and hole transporting layer, in order to improve the device performance and most importantly, their operational stability. As a result, our target devices treated by various interfacial passivation materials delivered PCEs approaching 24% with excellent long-term stabilities, especially under maximum power point tracking of over 1500 h with retaining more than 96% of their initial PCEs.[1-4] References:[1] Yang, B.*; Suo, J.; Mosconi, E.; Ricciarelli, D.; Tress, W.; De Angelis, F.; Kim, H.*; Hagfeldt, A.* Outstanding passivation effect by a mixed-salt interlayer with internal interactions in perovskite solar cells.
