The
quality of wide-band-gap (WBG) perovskite films plays an important
role in tandem solar cells. Therefore, it is necessary to improve
the performance of WBG perovskite films for the development of tandem
solar cells. Here, we employ F-type pseudo-halogen additives (PF6– or BF4–)
into perovskite precursors. The perovskite films with F-type pseudo-halogen
additives have a larger grain size and higher crystal quality with
lower defect density. At the same time, the perovskite lattice increases
due to substitution of F-type pseudo-halogen anions for I–/Br–, and the stress distortion in the film is
released, which effectively suppresses the recombination of carriers,
reduces the charge transfer loss, and inhibits the phase separation.
Finally, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the inverted 1.67
eV perovskite devices is significantly improved to over 20% with an
impressive fill factor of 84.02% and excellent device stability. In
addition, the PCE of the four-terminal (4T) perovskite/silicon tandem
solar cells reached 27.35% (PF6–) and
27.11% (BF4–), respectively. This provides
important guidance for further improving WBG perovskite solar cell
performance.
