Ternary Passivation for Enhanced Carrier Transport and Recombination Suppression in Highly Efficient Sn‐Based Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract

AbstractThe exploration of nontoxic Sn‐based perovskites as a viable alternative to their toxic Pb‐based counterparts has garnered increased attention. However, the power conversion efficiency of Sn‐based perovskite solar cells lags significantly behind their Pb‐based counterparts. This study presents a ternary passivation strategy aimed at enhancing device performance, employing [6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric‐acid‐methyl‐ester (PCBM), poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT), and indene C60 bisadduct (ICBA). These components play crucial roles in managing energy levels and enhancing carrier transportation, respectively. The results reveal that the introduction of the ternary system leads to improvements in carrier collection and transportation, accompanied by a suppression of the recombination process. Ultimately, the champion device achieves a remarkable performance with an efficiency of 14.64%. Notably, the device also exhibits robust operational and long‐term stored stability.
