Monolithic perovskite–organic tandem solar cells (POTSCs) have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their compatible fabrication routes and advances in single-cell efficiencies. To further boost the performance of POTSCs, reducing the voltage losses that mainly arise from wide bandgap (WBG, >1.7 eV) perovskite subcells and interconnecting layers (ICLs) is critical. Here, a new ICL with a configuration of C<sub>60</sub>/YbO<sub><i>x</i></sub>/Au/MoO<sub><i>x</i></sub> is demonstrated for constructing the monolithic POTSC. The YbO<sub><i>x</i></sub>-based ICL benefits from an ohmic contact and high transparency, resulting in improved POSTC performance. The champion device presents a PCE of 23.2% owing to a high <i>V</i><sub>OC</sub> of 2.11 V (approximately equal to the sum of individual <i>V</i><sub>OC</sub>’s of the subcells) without compromising the short-circuit current density and fill factors. This work opens an avenue for developing efficient ICLs in POTSCs.
