Antimony Potassium Tartrate Stabilizes Wide-Bandgap Perovskites for Inverted 4-T All-Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells with Efficiencies over 26.

ABSTRACT: Wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites have been attracting much attention because of their immense potential as a front light-absorber for tandem solar cells. However, WBG perovskite solar cells (PSCs) generally exhibit undesired large open-circuit voltage (V_OC) loss due to light-induced phase segregation and severe non-radiative recombination loss. Herein, antimony potassium tartrate (APTA) is added to perovskite precursor as a multifunctional additive that not only coordinates with unbonded lead but also inhibits the migration of halogen in perovskite, which results in suppressed non-radiative recombination, inhibited phase segregation and better band energy alignment. Therefore, a APTA auxiliary WBG PSC with a champion photoelectric conversion efficiency of 20.35% and less hysteresis is presented. They maintain 80% of their initial efficiencies under 100 mW cm^-2 white light illumination in nitrogen after 1,000 h. Furthermore, by combining a semi-transparent WBG perovskite front cell with a narrow-bandgap tin-lead PSC, a perovskite/perovskite four-terminal tandem solar cell with an efficiency over 26% is achieved. Our work provides a feasible approach for the fabrication of efficient tandem solar cells.
