Abstract

The presence of defects formed during the growth and crystallization of perovskite films is a limiting factor to achieve high efficiency and stability in perovskite solar cells. Here, we present a robust route to passivate bulk and surface defects in perovskite films by using an amino-functionalized BODIPY fluorophore. The addition of amino-BODIPY into the prototype methyl ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI ₃) perovskite solution significantly altered the nanomorphology of the perovskite film and alleviated the defect formation leading to efficiency enhancement and prolonged stability of perovskite solar cells with a regular structure. Similar results were obtained when using the BODIPY fluorophore in chlorobenzene (CB)-based antisolvent treatment of spin-coated perovskite films in inverted perovskite solar cells. In addition, reduction in the electron extraction barrier was evidenced. Our approach represents a universal passivation methodology for boosting the efficiency and stability in both regular and inverted perovskite solar cells.
