“…Due to the intrinsic polycrystalline nature of perovskite, a considerable number of defects presence at grain boundaries and surfaces, especially the under-coordinated Pb 2+ ions, which tends to generate detrimental trap states and minimize V oc and FF as well as device PCE. , Furthermore, the volatile content of MA + inclines to separate from MAPbI 3 perovskite, leading to a deterioration of device stability. , Heteroatoms with unpaired electrons (i.e., sulfur (S), oxygen/carbonyl (CO), and nitrogen (N)) have been demonstrated to effectively passivate the under-coordinated Pb 2+ cation by forming strong noncovalent interaction. ,,,, In addition, the strong electronegativity of the F atom make it easy to associate with H atoms of MA + for perovskite via the N–H···F hydrogen bonds. ,, For p-iPSCs, the HTM layers were beneath the perovskite layer, the HTM films morphology significantly affects the subsequent crystallization of perovskite films. ,, Hence, the functional groups including “CO” and “F” atom were introduced into polymer BN-12. The interfacial interaction and passivation effect of HTMs with perovskite layer were investigated by the FTIR.…”
