Graphical Abstract

Scalable preparation of mixed two-dimensional (2D)-Dion–Jacobson (DJ)/three-dimensional (3D) Sn-Pb alloyed PSCs by using 1,4-butanediammonium diiodide (BDADI) as bulky organic cations of the DJ layered perovskites is first reported. It delivers a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.02% with an impressive fill factor of 80%. Its stability is enhanced due to the presence of 2D perovskites, which serves as a protection barrier for the 3D grains.

Abstract

Tin-lead (Sn-Pb) alloyed perovskites with tunable bandgaps hold great potential for constructing highly efficient single-junction and tandem photovoltaic devices. However, the efficiency and stability of Sn-Pb perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are greatly hampered by severe nonradiative recombination due to the easy oxidation of Sn(II). In this work, we report the construction of mixed dimensional two-dimensional (2D) Dion–Jacobson (DJ) and three-dimensional (3D) perovskites to improve the efficiency and stability of Sn-Pb alloyed PSCs. Introducing a small amount of 1,4-butanediammonium diiodide as spacer cations of DJ perovskites into precursor, the prepared mixed dimensional Sn-Pb alloyed perovskites exhibit reduced trap-state density due to the passivation of 2D DJ perovskites. As a result, nonradiative charge recombination is greatly suppressed. The prepared Sn-Pb alloyed PSCs based on 2D-DJ/3D heterojunction deliver a power conversion efficiency of 19.02% with an impressive fill factor of 80%. As well, improved device stability is realized due to the presence of DJ perovskites which serves as a protection barrier against oxidation and water invasion.
