3D–2D–0D Interface Profiling for Record Efficiency All‐Inorganic CsPbBrI₂ Perovskite Solar Cells with Superior Stability

Abstract All‐inorganic CsPbBrI₂ perovskite has great advantages in terms of ambient phase stability and suitable band gap (1.91 eV) for photovoltaic applications. However, the typically used structure causes reduced device performance, primarily due to the large recombination at the interface between the perovskite, and the hole‐extraction layer (HEL). In this paper, an efficient CsPbBrI₂ perovskite solar cell (PSC) with a dimensionally graded heterojunction is reported, in which the CsPbBrI₂ material is distributed within bulk–nanosheet–quantum dots or 3D–2D–0D dimension‐profiled interface structure so that the energy alignment is optimized in between the valence and conduction bands of both CsPbBrI₂ and the HEL layers. Specifically, the valence‐/conduction‐band edge is leveraged to bend with synergistic advantages: the graded combination enhances the hole extraction and conduction efficiency with effectively decreased recombination loss during the hole‐transfer process, leading to an enhanced built‐in electric field, hence a high V_OC of as much as 1.19 V. The profiled structure induces continuously upshifted energy levels, resulting in a higher J_SC of as much as 12.93 mA cm⁻² and fill factor as high as 80.5%, and therefore record power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 12.39%. As far as it is known, this is the highest PCE for CsPbBrI₂ perovskite‐based PSC.
