Inorganic CsPb1−xSnxIBr2 for Efficient Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells

Recently, the stability of organic–inorganic perovskite thin films under thermal, photo, and moisture stresses has become a major concern for further commercialization due to the high volatility of the organic cations in the prototype perovskite composition (CH₃NH₃PbI₃). All inorganic cesium (Cs) based perovskite is an alternative to avoid the release or decomposition of organic cations. Moreover, substituting Pb with Sn in the organic–inorganic lead halide perovskites has been demonstrated to narrow the bandgap to 1.2–1.4 eV for high‐performance perovskite solar cells. In this work, a series of CsPb_1?xSn_xIBr₂ perovskite alloys via one‐step antisolvent method is demonstrated. These perovskite films present tunable bandgaps from 2.04 to 1.64 eV. Consequently, the CsPb_0.75Sn_0.25IBr₂ with homogeneous and densely crystallized morphology shows a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 11.53% and a high V_oc of 1.21 V with a much improved phase stability and illumination stability. This work provides a possibility for designing and synthesizing novel inorganic halide perovskites as the next generation of photovoltaic materials.     

Benzylamine‐Treated Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite with High Thermal‐Photostability and Photovoltaic Performance

Mixed iodide‐bromide organolead perovskites with a bandgap of 1.70–1.80 eV have great potential to boost the efficiency of current silicon solar cells by forming a perovskite‐silicon tandem structure. Yet, the stability of the perovskites under various application conditions, and in particular combined light and heat stress, is not well studied. Here, FA_0.15Cs_0.85Pb(I_0.73Br_0.27)₃, with an optical bandgap of ≈1.72 eV, is used as a model system to investigate the thermal‐photostability of wide‐bandgap mixed halide perovskites. It is found that the concerted effect of heat and light can induce both phase segregation and decomposition in a pristine perovskite film. On the other hand, through a postdeposition film treatment with benzylamine (BA) molecules, the highly defective regions (e.g., film surface and grain boundaries) of the film can be well passivated, thus preventing the progression of decomposition or phase segregation in the film. Besides the stability improvement, the BA‐modified perovskite solar cells also exhibit excellent photovoltaic performance, with the champion device reaching a power conversion efficiency of 18.1%, a stabilized power output efficiency of 17.1% and an open‐circuit voltage (V _oc) of 1.24 V.     

Record Open‐Circuit Voltage Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells Utilizing 2D/3D Perovskite Heterostructure

In this work, the authors realize stable and highly efficient wide‐bandgap perovskite solar cells that promise high power conversion efficiencies (PCE) and are likely to play a key role in next generation multi‐junction photovoltaics (PV). This work reports on wide‐bandgap (≈1.72 eV) perovskite solar cells exhibiting stable PCEs of up to 19.4% and a remarkably high open‐circuit voltage (V_OC) of 1.31 V. The V_OC‐to‐bandgap ratio is the highest reported for wide‐bandgap organic?inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells and the V_OC also exceeds 90% of the theoretical maximum, defined by the Shockley–Queisser limit. This advance is based on creating a hybrid 2D/3D perovskite heterostructure. By spin coating n‐butylammonium bromide on the double‐cation perovskite absorber layer, a thin 2D Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite layer of intermediate phases is formed, which mitigates nonradiative recombination in the perovskite absorber layer. As a result, V_OC is enhanced by 80 mV.     

Stabilizing the Efficiency Beyond 20% with a Mixed Cation Perovskite Solar Cell Fabricated in Ambient Air under Controlled Humidity

Perovskite solar cells have evolved to have compatible high efficiency and stability by employing mixed cation/halide type perovskite crystals as pinhole‐free large grain absorbers. The cesium (Cs)–formamidium–methylammonium triple cation‐based perovskite device fabricated in a glove box enables reproducible high‐voltage performance. This study explores the method to reproduce stable and high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of a triple cation perovskite prepared using a one‐step solution deposition and low‐temperature annealing fully conducted in controlled ambient humidity conditions. Optimizing the perovskite grain size by Cs concentration and solution processes, a route is created to obtain highly uniform, pinhole‐free large grain perovskite films that work with reproducible PCE up to 20.8% and high preservation stability without cell encapsulation for more than 18 weeks. This study further investigates the light intensity characteristics of open‐circuit voltage (V_oc) of small (5 × 5 mm², PCE > 20%) and large (10 × 10 mm², PCE of 18%) devices. Intensity dependence of V_oc shows an ideality factor in the range of 1.7‐1.9 for both devices, implying that the triple cation perovskite involves trap‐assisted recombination loss at the hetero junction interfaces that influences V_oc. Despite relatively high ideality factor, perovskite device is capable of supplying high power conversion efficiency under low light intensity (0.01 Sun) whereas maintaining V_oc over 0.9 V.     

Vacuum‐Assisted Growth of Low‐Bandgap Thin Films (FA0.8MA0.2Sn0.5Pb0.5I3) for All‐Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells

All‐perovskite multijunction photovoltaics, combining a wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskite top solar cell (E_G ≈1.6–1.8 eV) with a low‐bandgap (LBG) perovskite bottom solar cell (E_G < 1.3 eV), promise power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) >33%. While the research on WBG perovskite solar cells has advanced rapidly over the past decade, LBG perovskite solar cells lack PCE as well as stability. In this work, vacuum‐assisted growth control (VAGC) of solution‐processed LBG perovskite thin films based on mixed Sn–Pb perovskite compositions is reported. The reported perovskite thin films processed by VAGC exhibit large columnar crystals. Compared to the well‐established processing of LBG perovskites via antisolvent deposition, the VAGC approach results in a significantly enhanced charge‐carrier lifetime. The improved optoelectronic characteristics enable high‐performance LBG perovskite solar cells (1.27 eV) with PCEs up to 18.2% as well as very efficient four‐terminal all‐perovskite tandem solar cells with PCEs up to 23%. Moreover, VAGC leads to promising reproducibility and potential in the fabrication of larger active‐area solar cells up to 1 cm².     

Hybrid Perovskite‐Organic Flexible Tandem Solar Cell Enabling Highly Efficient Electrocatalysis Overall Water Splitting

Perovskite‐organic tandem solar cells are attracting more attention due to their potential for highly efficient and flexible photovoltaic device. In this work, efficient perovskite‐organic monolithic tandem solar cells integrating the wide bandgap perovskite (1.74 eV) and low bandgap organic active PBDB‐T:SN6IC‐4F (1.30 eV) layer, which serve as the top and bottom subcell, respectively, are developed. The resulting perovskite‐organic tandem solar cells with passivated wide‐bandgap perovskite show a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.13%, with an open‐circuit voltage (V_oc) of 1.85 V, a short‐circuit photocurrent (J_sc) of 11.52 mA cm^?2, and a fill factor (FF) of 70.98%. Thanks to the advantages of low temperature fabrication processes and the flexibility properties of the device, a flexible tandem solar cell which obtain a PCE of 13.61%, with V_oc of 1.80 V, J_sc of 11.07 mA cm^?2, and FF of 68.31% is fabricated. Moreover, to demonstrate the achieved high V_oc in the tandem solar cells for potential applications, a photovoltaic (PV)‐driven electrolysis system combing the tandem solar cell and water splitting electrocatalysis is assembled. The integrated device demonstrates a solar‐to‐hydrogen efficiency of 12.30% and 11.21% for rigid, and flexible perovskite‐organic tandem solar cell based PV‐driven electrolysis systems, respectively.     

Tailoring Triple‐Anion Perovskite Material for Indoor Light Harvesting with Restrained Halide Segregation and Record High Efficiency Beyond 36%

Indoor photovoltaics are promising to enable self‐powered electronic devices for the Internet of Things. Here, reported is a triple‐anion CH₃NH₃PbI_2?xBrCl_x perovskite film, of which the bandgap is specially designed for indoor light harvesting to achieve a record high efficiency of 36.2% with distinctive high open circuit voltage (V_oc) of 1.028 V under standard 1000 lux fluorescent light. The involvement of both bromide and chloride suppresses the trap‐states and nonradiative recombination loss, exhibiting a remarkable ideality factor of 1.097. The introduction of chloride successfully restrains the halide segregation of iodide and bromide, stabilizing the triple‐anion perovskite film. The devices show an excellent long‐term performance, sustaining over 95% of original efficiency under continuous light soaking over 2000 h. These findings show the importance and potential of I/Br/Cl triple‐anion perovskite with tailored bandgap and suppressed trap‐states in stable and efficient indoor light recycling.     

Understanding the Role of Cesium and Rubidium Additives in Perovskite Solar Cells: Trap States,Charge Transport,and Recombination

Adding cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) cations to FA_0.83MA_0.17Pb(I_0.83Br_0.17)₃ hybrid lead halide perovskites results in a remarkable improvement in solar cell performance, but the origin of the enhancement has not been fully understood yet. In this work, time‐of‐flight, time‐resolved microwave conductivity, and thermally stimulated current measurements are performed to elucidate the impact of the inorganic cation additives on the trap landscape and charge transport properties within perovskite solar cells. These complementary techniques allow for the assessment of both local features within the perovskite crystals and macroscopic properties of films and full devices. Strikingly, Cs‐incorporation is shown to reduce the trap density and charge recombination rates in the perovskite layer. This is consistent with the significant improvements in the open‐circuit voltage and fill factor of Cs‐containing devices. By comparison, Rb‐addition results in an increased charge carrier mobility, which is accompanied by a minor increase in device efficiency and reduced current–voltage hysteresis. By mixing Cs and Rb in quadruple cation (Cs‐Rb‐FA‐MA) perovskites, the advantages of both inorganic cations can be combined. This study provides valuable insights into the role of these additives in multiple‐cation perovskite solar cells, which are essential for the design of high‐performance devices.     

Energetics and Energy Loss in 2D Ruddlesden–Popper Perovskite Solar Cells

2D Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites (RPPs) are emerging as potential challengers to their 3D counterpart due to superior stability and competitive efficiency. However, the fundamental questions on energetics of the 2D RPPs are not well understood. Here, the energetics at (PEA)₂(MA)_n?1Pb_nI_3n+1/[6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) interfaces with varying n values of 1, 3, 5, 40, and ∞ are systematically investigated. It is found that n–n junctions form at the 2D RPP interfaces (n = 3, 5, and 40), instead of p–n junctions in the pure 2D and 3D scenarios (n = 1 and ∞). The potential gradient across phenethylammonium iodide ligands that significantly decreases surface work function, promotes separation of the photogenerated charge carriers with electron transferring from perovskite crystal to ligand at the interface, reducing charge recombination, which contributes to the smallest energy loss and the highest open‐circuit voltage (V_oc) in the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on the 2D RPP (n = 5)/PCBM. The mechanism is further verified by inserting a thin 2D RPP capping layer between pure 3D perovskite and PCBM in PSCs, causing the V_oc to evidently increase by 94 mV. Capacitance–voltage measurements with Mott–Schottky analysis demonstrate that such V_oc improvement is attributed to the enhanced potential at the interface.     

Understanding Film Formation Morphology and Orientation in High Member 2D Ruddlesden–Popper Perovskites for High‐Efficiency Solar Cells

2D Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) perovskites have recently emerged as promising candidates for hybrid perovskite photovoltaic cells, realizing power‐conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of over 10% with technologically relevant stability. To achieve solar cell performance comparable to the state‐of‐the‐art 3D perovskite cells, it is highly desirable to increase the conductivity and lower the optical bandgap for enhanced near‐IR region absorption by increasing the perovskite slab thickness. Here, the use of the 2D higher member (n = 5) RP perovskite (n‐butyl‐NH₃)₂(MeNH₃)₄Pb₅I₁₆ in depositing highly oriented thin films from dimethylformamide/dimethylsulfoxide mixtures using the hot‐casting method is reported. In addition, they exhibit superior environmental stability over thin films of their 3D counterpart. These films are assembled into high‐efficiency solar cells with an open‐circuit voltage of ≈1 V and PCE of up to 10%. This is achieved by fine‐tuning the solvent ratio, crystal growth orientation, and grain size in the thin films. The enhanced performance of the optimized devices is ascribed to the growth of micrometer‐sized grains as opposed to more typically obtained nanometer grain size and highly crystalline, densely packed microstructures with the majority of the inorganic slabs preferentially aligned out of plane to the substrate, as confirmed by X‐ray diffraction and grazing‐incidence wide‐angle X‐ray scattering mapping.     

Efficient Organic Solar Cells with Extremely High Open‐Circuit Voltages and Low Voltage Losses by Suppressing Nonradiative Recombination Losses

One of the most important factors that limits the efficiencies of bulk‐heterojunction organic solar cells (OSCs) is the modest open‐circuit voltage (V_oc) due to their large voltage loss (V_loss) caused by significant nonradiative recombination loss. To boost the performance of OSCs toward their theoretical limit, developing high‐performance donor: acceptor systems featuring low V_loss with suppressed nonradiative recombination losses (<0.30 V) is desired. Herein, high performance OSCs based on a polymer donor benzodithiophene‐difluorobenzoxadiazole‐2‐decyltetradecyl (BDT‐ffBX‐DT) and perylenediimide‐based acceptors (PDI dimer with spirofluorene linker (SFPDI), PDI4, and PDI6) are reported which offer a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 7.5%, 56% external quantum efficiency associated with very high V_oc (>1.10 V) and low V_loss (<0.60 V). A high V_oc up to 1.23 V is achieved, which is among the highest values reported for OSCs with a PCE beyond 6%, to date. These attractive results are benefit from the suppressed nonradiative recombination voltage loss, which is as low as 0.20 V. This value is the lowest value for OSCs so far and is comparable to high performance crystalline silicon and perovskite solar cells. These results show that OSCs have the potential to achieve comparable V_oc and voltage loss as inorganic photovoltaic technologies.     

2‐Thiopheneformamidinium‐Based 2D Ruddlesden–Popper Perovskite Solar Cells with Efficiency of 16.72% and Negligible Hysteresis

Formamidinium (FA)‐based 3D perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been widely studied and they show reduced bandgap, enhanced stability, and improved efficiency compared to MAPbI₃‐based devices. Nevertheless, the FA‐based spacers have rarely been studied for 2D Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) perovskites, which have drawn wide attention due to their enormous potential for fabricating efficient and stable photovoltaic devices. Here, for the first time, FA‐based derivative, 2‐thiopheneformamidinium (ThFA), is successfully synthesized and employed as an organic spacer for 2D RP PSCs. A precursor organic salts‐assisted crystal growth technique is further developed to prepare high quality 2D (ThFA)₂(MA)_n?1Pb_nI_3n+1 (nominal n = 3) perovskite films, which shows preferential vertical growth orientations, high charge carrier mobilities, and reduced trap density. As a result, the 2D RP PSCs with an inverted planar p‐i‐n structure exhibit a dramatically improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 7.23% to 16.72% with negligible hysteresis, which is among the highest PCE in 2D RP PSCs with low nominal n‐value of 3. Importantly, the optimized 2D PSCs exhibit a dramatically improved stability with less than 1% degradation after storage in N₂ for 3000 h without encapsulation. These findings provide an effective strategy for developing FA‐based organic spacers toward highly efficient and stable 2D PSCs.     

Carbon Nanoparticles in High‐Performance Perovskite Solar Cells

In the past few years, organic–inorganic metal halide ABX₃ perovskites (A = Rb, Cs, methylammonium, formamidinium (FA); B = Pb, Sn; X = Cl, Br, I) have rapidly emerged as promising materials for photovoltaic applications. Tuning the film morphology by various deposition techniques and additives is crucial to achieve solar cells with high performance and long‐term stability. In this work, carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) containing functional groups are added to the perovskite precursor solution for fabrication of fluorine‐doped tin oxide/TiO₂/perovskite/spiro‐OMeTAD/gold devices. With the addition of CNPs, the perovskite films are thermally more stable, contain larger grains, and become more hydrophobic. NMR experiments provide strong evidence that the functional groups of the CNPs interact with FA cations already in the precursor solution. The fabricated solar cells show a power‐conversion efficiency of 18% and negligible hysteresis.     

Understanding the Film Formation Kinetics of Sequential Deposited Narrow‐Bandgap Pb–Sn Hybrid Perovskite Films

Developing efficient narrow bandgap Pb–Sn hybrid perovskite solar cells with high Sn‐content is crucial for perovskite‐based tandem devices. Film properties such as crystallinity, morphology, surface roughness, and homogeneity dictate photovoltaic performance. However, compared to Pb‐based analogs, controlling the formation of Sn‐containing perovskite films is much more challenging. A deeper understanding of the growth mechanisms in Pb–Sn hybrid perovskites is needed to improve power conversion efficiencies. Here, in situ optical spectroscopy is performed during sequential deposition of Pb–Sn hybrid perovskite films and combined with ex situ characterization techniques to reveal the temporal evolution of crystallization in Pb–Sn hybrid perovskite films. Using a two‐step deposition method, homogeneous crystallization of mixed Pb–Sn perovskites can be achieved. Solar cells based on the narrow bandgap (1.23 eV) FA_0.66MA_0.34Pb_0.5Sn_0.5I₃ perovskite absorber exhibit the highest efficiency among mixed Pb–Sn perovskites and feature a relatively low dark carrier density compared to Sn‐rich devices. By passivating defect sites on the perovskite surface, the device achieves a power conversion efficiency of 16.1%, which is the highest efficiency reported for sequential solution‐processed narrow bandgap perovskite solar cells with 50% Sn‐content.     

Modified PEDOT Layer Makes a 1.52 V Voc for Perovskite/PCBM Solar Cells

The work functions for charge transport layers in perovskite solar cells affect device performance significantly. In this work, the regular poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is modified by adding a polymer electrolyte PSS‐Na to improve its HTL function in perovskite solar cells. The modified PEDOT:PSS films (called m‐PEDOT:PSS) possess higher work function than the regular one. Its energy level matches the valence band of perovskite very well, leading to enhanced V_oc and PCE (power conversion efficiency). When CH₃NH₃PbI₃ is used as the light absorber, the cell with PEDOT:PSS HTL gives a V_oc of 0.96 V and a PCE of 12.35%, while the cell with m‐PEDOT:PSS layer gives a V_oc of 1.11 V and a PCE of 15.56%. Enhanced V_oc and PCE are also achieved when CH₃NH₃PbI₂Br or CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ is used as the light absorber. The m‐PEDOT:PSS/CH₃NH₃PbBr₃/PC₆₁BM solar cells demonstrate an outstanding V_oc of 1.52 V.     

Reverse‐Graded 2D Ruddlesden–Popper Perovskites for Efficient Air‐Stable Solar Cells

2D Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites (RPPs) have emerged as a promising solar cell material. A group of novel RPPs with cyclohexane methylamine (CMA) as a spacer cation is presented. Unlike previously reported RPPs, the deposited films of (CMA)₂(MA)_n?1Pb_nI_3n+1 (MA is CH₃NH₃⁺, n = 1, 2, 3, …) exhibit multiple phases with reverse‐graded quantum well (QW) distribution; small n (n = 2) RPPs are located at the surface and large n (n ≥ 10) RPPs at the bottom. This has three advantages: (a) The outer, more moisture resistant, small n RPPs create a stable barrier that protects the vulnerable large n RPP lattice from being attacked by water molecules. (b) It forms a type‐II band alignment between different phases, which favors self‐driven charge transport. (c) The natural structure of graded QWs expands the range of photon collection. Attributed to these properties, the best efficiency of 15.05%, with high open‐circuit voltage (V_oc) of 1.10 V for a first‐generation solar cell containing (CMA)₂(MA)₈Pb₉I₂₈, is achieved. A notable enhancement in short wavelength is observed in the Incident photon‐to‐current conversion efficiency spectra. This device shows significantly improved long‐term stability, retaining ≈95% of the initial efficiency after 4600 h exposure in ambient conditions with 40–70% relative humidity.     

From Pb to Bi: A Promising Family of Pb‐Free Optoelectronic Materials and Devices

Lead‐based organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite materials are widely used in optoelectronic devices due to their excellent photophysical properties. However, the main issues which hinder its commercialization are the toxicity caused by lead and the intrinsic instability of the material. Recently, many lead‐free halide materials with good intrinsic stability have been reported, among which bismuth‐based halide materials have attracted extensive research due to their structure and promising optoelectronic properties. In this review, bismuth‐based materials are divided into binary BiX₃ (X = I, Br, Cl), ternary A_aBi_bX_a+3b (A = Cs, Rb, MA, Ag, etc.), and quaternary A₂AgBiX₆ (A = Cs, Rb, MA, etc.) according to its elemental composition. The structure and optoelectronic properties of bismuth‐based halide materials, which may be helpful for the development of bismuth‐based halide materials and lead‐free perovskites in the future, are summarized and highlighted.     

Supramolecular Engineering for Formamidinium‐Based Layered 2D Perovskite Solar Cells: Structural Complexity and Dynamics Revealed by Solid‐State NMR Spectroscopy

Perovskite solar cells are one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies, although their molecular level design and stability toward environmental factors remain a challenge. Layered 2D Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite phases feature an organic spacer bilayer that enhances their environmental stability. Here, the concept of supramolecular engineering of 2D perovskite materials is demonstrated in the case of formamidinium (FA) containing A₂FA_n?1Pb_nI_3n+1 formulations by employing (adamantan‐1‐yl)methanammonium (A) spacers exhibiting propensity for strong Van der Waals interactions complemented by structural adaptability. The molecular design translates into desirable structural features and phases with different compositions and dimensionalities, identified uniquely at the atomic level by solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. For A₂FA₂Pb₃I₁₀, efficiencies exceeding 7% in mesoscopic device architectures without any additional treatment or use of antisolvents for ambient temperature film deposition are achieved. This performance improvement over the state‐of‐the‐art FA‐based 2D perovskites is accompanied by high operational stability under humid ambient conditions, which illustrates the utility of the approach in perovskite solar cells and sets the basis for advanced supramolecular design in the future.     

Spontaneously Self‐Assembly of a 2D/3D Heterostructure Enhances the Efficiency and Stability in Printed Perovskite Solar Cells

As perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are highly efficient, demonstration of high‐performance printed devices becomes important. 2D/3D heterostructures have recently emerged as an attractive way to relieving the film inhomogeneity and instability in perovskite devices. In this work, a 2D/3D ensemble with 2D perovskites self‐assembled atop 3D methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI₃) via a one‐step printing process is shown. A clean and flat interface is observed in the 2D/3D bilayer heterostructure for the first time. The 2D perovskite capping layer significantly suppresses nonradiative charge recombination, resulting in a marked increase in open‐circuit voltage (V_OC) of the devices by up to 100 mV. An ultrahigh V_OC of 1.20 V is achieved for MAPbI₃ PSCs, corresponding to 91% of the Shockley–Queisser limit. Moreover, notable enhancement in light, thermal, and moisture stability is obtained as a result of the protective barrier of the 2D perovskites. These results suggest a viable approach for scalable fabrication of highly efficient perovskite solar cells with enhanced environmental stability.     

Impact of Monovalent Cation Halide Additives on the Structural and Optoelectronic Properties of CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite

The influence of monovalent cation halide additives on the optical, excitonic, and electrical properties of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite is reported. Monovalent cation halide with similar ionic radii to Pb²⁺, including Cu⁺, Na⁺, and Ag⁺, have been added to explore the possibility of doping. Significant reduction of sub‐bandgap optical absorption and lower energetic disorder along with a shift in the Fermi level of the perovskite in the presence of these cations has been observed. The bulk hole mobility of the additive‐based perovskites as estimated using the space charge limited current method exhibits an increase of up to an order of magnitude compared to the pristine perovskites with a significant decrease in the activation energy. Consequentially, enhancement in the photovoltaic parameters of additive‐based solar cells is achieved. An increase in open circuit voltage for AgI (≈1.02 vs 0.95 V for the pristine) and photocurrent density for NaI‐ and CuBr‐based solar cells (≈23 vs 21 mA cm^?2 for the pristine) has been observed. This enhanced photovoltaic performance can be attributed to the formation of uniform and continuous perovskite film, better conversion, and loading of perovskite, as well as the enhancement in the bulk charge transport along with a minimization of disorder, pointing towards possible surface passivation.
