Interfacial Dipole poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) Modification Triggers Simultaneous Band Alignment and Passivation for Air-Stable Perovskite Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: To promote the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), its theoretical power conversion efficiency (PCE) and high stability, elaborative defect passivation, and interfacial engineering at the molecular level are required to regulate the optoelectric properties and charge transporting process at the perovskite/hole transport layer (HTL) interfaces. Herein, we introduce for the first time a multifunctional dipole polymer poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOz) between the perovskite and Spiro-OMeTAD HTL in planar n-i-p PSCs, which advances the PSCs toward both high efficiency and excellent stability by stimulating three beneficial effects. First, the ether-oxygen unshared electron pairs in PEOz chemically react with unsaturated Pb²⁺ on the perovskite surfaces by forming a strong Pb
