摘要

The thermal stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) remains a critical challenge for their integration into power grid applications. Here, we report the thermally stable PSCs by employing heteroaryl additives in the Spiro-OMeTAD. These additives effectively control void formation in the hole-transport layer and minimize reactivity with the perovskite layer, significantly improving the thermal stability of PSCs at 85 °C. As a result, PSCs with 3-phenylpyridine and 2-phenylpyridine maintained 101% and 104% of their initial photoconversion efficiency after 2400 hours of 85 °C test, respectively. As an added benefit, photovoltaic performance achieved a photoconversion efficiency of 25%. Also, the outdoor test shows 90% of the initial power point voltage after 1570 hours with maximum-power point tracking, showing remarkable light and cycle stability. We revealed the mechanism of how the additive can improve the thermal stability of PSCs by comparing 36 heteroaryl derivatives and 60 additive combinations.
