Compositional and Interface Engineering of Organic-Inorganic Lead Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

Power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has remark-ably been increased from 3.1% to 25.2%. The fast expansion of the PSCs has been along with the development of compositional and interface engineering, which has been playing a critical role. For the PSCs with record high-efficiency and sta-bility, the perovskite absorber layer has been changed from the initial MAPbI(3)- to FAPbI(3)-based compositions. Owing to the enormous engineering works, perov-skite absorber layers with monolithic grains could be achieved, in which the interior defects are negligible compared with the surface defects. Therefore, interface engineering, which can passivate the surface defects and/or isolate the perovskite from the environmental moistures, has been playing a more and more important role to further boost the PCE and stability of the PSCs. Herein, a compact review study of the compositional and interface engineering is pre-sented and promising strategies and directions of the PSCs are discussed.
