摘要

The high-performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs) demand more advanced interfacial modification materials. This study presents a low-cost but highly efficient screening methodology for interface modification materials based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The effectiveness of this screen method is verified by experiments. Methyl 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate (TZMC) is screened as a superior interface modification molecule. It passivates defects in perovskite and suppresses ion migration simultaneously through the synergistic effect mechanism. Experimental results also verify the interactions between TZMC and Pb/I ions. TZMC-modified PSCs achieve a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.44% and the operational stability under continuous illumination and the stability against water/oxygen has been significantly enhanced. This work demonstrates the success of the DFT-guided design of advanced interfacial modification materials to improve the performance of PSCs.
