Abstract

Abstract Narrow‐bandgap (NBG) mixed tin‐lead (Sn‐Pb) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) serve as crucial top subcells in all‐perovskite tandem solar cells (TSCs). However, the prevalent use of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) hole transport layers (HTLs) in NBG PSCs compromises device efficiency and stability. To address this, the study proposes a revitalizing strategy for the buried interface of Sn‐Pb perovskites by directly immersing acetylcholine chloride (ACh) into PEDOT: PSS. ACh acts as a proficient “diver,” not only modulating the bottom PEDOT: PSS HTLs but also facilitating the reconstruction of the buried interface and significantly enhancing the quality of the top perovskite layers. This intervention with ACh prevents Sn2+ oxidation, mitigates buried defects, and encourages the growth of large, densely packed grains within Sn‐Pb perovskites. Consequently, the optimized NBG PSCs exhibit significantly improved hole transport and reduced carrier recombination, achieving a steady‐state efficiency of 22.98% with enhanced stability. Furthermore, these optimized NBG Sn‐Pb cells enable highly efficient two‐terminal and four‐terminal all‐perovskite TSCs, boasting steady‐state efficiencies of 27.54% (certified at 26.41%) and 28.01%, respectively. This study emphasizes the importance of optimizing NBG PSCs through buried interface reconstruction, propelling the advancement of all‐perovskite TSCs.
