This accelerates battery aging and reduces device efficiency, which has always been a key issue affecting battery efficiency and lifespan. Furthermore, current commonly used perovskite surface passivation strategies primarily rely on functional groups and intermolecular interactions to improve perovskite surface defects, but C... 60 The nonradiative recombination loss of charge carriers caused by poor contact quality between the agglomeration layer and the perovskite surface was not improved.
[0005] Therefore, how to effectively improve C 60 The poor contact quality between the electron transport layer and the perovskite surface is a key technical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed in order to improve the efficiency and lifespan of inverted perovskite solar cells.
