A Self‐Assembled 3D/0D Quasi‐Core–Shell Structure as Internal Encapsulation Layer for Stable and Efficient FAPbI₃ Perovskite Solar Cells and Modules

Abstract

FAPbI3 perovskites have garnered considerable interest owing to their outstanding thermal stability, along with near‐theoretical bandgap and efficiency. However, their inherent phase instability presents a substantial challenge to the long‐term stability of devices. Herein, this issue through a dual‐strategy of self‐assembly 3D/0D quasi‐core–shell structure is tackled as an internal encapsulation layer, and in situ introduction of excess PbI2 for surface and grain boundary defects passivating, therefore preventing moisture intrusion into FAPbI3 perovskite films. By utilizing this method alone, not only enhances the stability of the FAPbI3 film but also effectively passivates defects and minimizes non‐radiative recombination, ultimately yielding a champion device efficiency of 23.23%. Furthermore, the devices own better moisture resistance, exhibiting a T80 lifetime exceeding 3500 h at 40% relative humidity (RH). Meanwhile, a 19.51% PCE of mini‐module (5 × 5 cm2) is demonstrated. This research offers valuable insights and directions for the advancement of stable and highly efficient FAPbI3 perovskite solar cells.
