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 ClCH2CH2NH3+ and small Cl to diffuse into the crystal lattice and grain boundaries of perovskites, endowing an excellent antioxidation property by forming Sn(0), coordinating with SnI2, 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–2. 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.
