Recent progress of buried interface in high-efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been rapidly developed in recent years due to their excellent photovoltaic performance, which has been actively promoted by many researchers. However, interfacial non-radiative compounding hinders further improvement of their device performance. Buried interface modification strategies can minimize the non-radiative compounding within the interface, resulting in highly efficient and stable PSCs. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the development of multiple classes of materials applied to buried interface engineering for the preparation of highly efficient and stable PSCs, including the development of organic, inorganic, and polymeric materials. The important role of buried interfaces in regulating energy alignment, passivating surface defects, modulating morphology, etc. have been discussed. Furthermore, we propose strategies to reduce nonradiative composites at interfaces. Finally, potential developments and challenges of buried interfaces for high performance stabilized PSCs are presented.
