[0002] Photovoltaic technology is advancing rapidly and has become a crucial pillar of the global energy transition. To overcome the technical bottlenecks of high energy consumption and low efficiency of traditional silicon-based solar cells and achieve leapfrog development in the photovoltaic industry, new-generation photovoltaic technologies, represented by perovskite solar cells, are becoming a research focus in academia and industry. These novel photovoltaic devices not only offer significant advantages such as high theoretical efficiency and low fabrication costs, but also, due to their solution-processability, enable the realization of flexible and lightweight photovoltaic modules, presenting promising applications that are unattainable with traditional silicon-based technologies.

[0003] Perovskite solar cells, a representative example of third-generation photovoltaic technology, have achieved a dramatic improvement in photoelectric conversion efficiency from 3.8% to 27% in just over a decade thanks to their superior photoelectric performance and simple fabrication process, demonstrating enormous commercial potential. However, the technology still faces numerous challenges: non-radiative recombination caused by interface defects severely restricts effective carrier collection; device performance degradation caused by ion migration affects long-term stability; and energy level mismatches between functional layers result in significant energy losses.
