Low-bandgap
tin–lead mixed perovskites (PVKs) are necessary
for all-perovskite tandem solar cells. This work proposes a multifunctional
sandwich structure with 2-chloroethylamine (CEA) as the top and bottom
interface layer and perovskite as the core layer. The sandwich structured
CEA allows large ClCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>NH<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup> and small Cl<sup>–</sup> to diffuse into the crystal
lattice and grain boundaries of perovskites, endowing an excellent
antioxidation property by forming Sn(0), coordinating with SnI<sub>2</sub>, and controlling the perovskite crystallization process.
Moreover, the energy level alignment at the interface of the perovskite
and transport layer becomes more matched. As a result, the CEA-modified
champion device acquires a power conversion efficiency of 18.13% with
an open-circuit voltage of 0.82 V and a short-circuit current density
of 30.06 mA cm<sup>–2</sup>. Meanwhile, the environmental stability
of CEA-modified devices is substantially enhanced. This work introduces
a new strategy for improving the performance and stability of tin–lead
mixed perovskite solar cells.
