近日，昆明理工大学材料科学与工程学院陈江照教授团队在国际材料与能源权威期刊ACS Energy Letters（IF=22）上以题为“Synergistically stabilizing hole transport layer and dual interface enables high-performance perovskite solar cells”发表最新研究成果，该研究工作得到国家自然科学基金面上、兵团重点领域科技攻关计划等项目的资助。
高效率的n-i-p型钙钛矿太阳能电池（PSCs）通常依赖于掺杂Li-TFSI和tBP的有机空穴传输层（HTL）。然而，Li+和卤素离子的迁移和扩散以及tBP的挥发严重制约PSCs的长期运行稳定性。鉴于此，陈江照教授团队采用l -谷氨酸二苄基酯- 4甲苯磺酸盐（GADET）同时调控HTL和埋底界面，通过固定Li+、tBP和卤素离子及钝化双界面缺陷，稳定HTL，减少界面能损失。GADET通过苯磺酸阴离子与Li+的离子键相互作用抑制了Li+离子的扩散，而-NH3+与tBP形成氢键可以抑制tBP的挥发。此外，通过钝化未配位Pb2+和卤素空位缺陷，能够有效抑制卤素离子迁移和界面陷阱诱导的非辐射复合。协同优化的器件实现了25.06%的冠军功率转换效率（认证PCE为24.08%）。目标器件分别在35-45%相对湿度条件下老化3000 h、65℃热老化2000 h、一个太阳模拟光连续照射1200 h后分别保持了原始效率的95.02%、91.21%和80.23%。
