Open-circuit and short-circuit loss management in wide-gap perovskite p-i-n solar cells.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we couple theoretical and experimental approaches to understand and reduce the losses of wide bandgap Br-rich perovskite pin devices at open-circuit voltage (V_OC) and short-circuit current (J_SC) conditions. A mismatch between the internal quasi-Fermi level splitting (QFLS) and the external V_OC is detrimental for these devices. We demonstrate that modifying the perovskite top-surface with guanidinium-Br and imidazolium-Br forms a low-dimensional perovskite phase at the n-interface, suppressing the QFLS-V_OC mismatch, and boosting the V_OC. Concurrently, the use of an ionic interlayer or a self-assembled monolayer at the p-interface reduces the inferred field screening induced by mobile ions at J_SC, promoting charg
