Impact of Electron‐Withdrawing Passivating Molecules on Perovskite Solar Cells

2025

Abstract

Interfacial instability—originating from defects, ion migration, and uncontrolled crystallization—remains a critical challenge for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Electron‐withdrawing materials (EWMs) have emerged as promising candidates for interface engineering due to their distinctive coordination capability and favorable charge extraction properties. This review outlines the fundamental characteristics of EWMs and the underlying mechanisms by which they enhance photovoltaic performance and device stability. Recent advances in incorporating such materials across key interface layers are systematically summarized, offering mechanistic insights and design strategies toward the development of efficient and stable PSCs.

Perovskite solar cell

A perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a type of solar cell that includes a perovskite-structured compound, most commonly a hybrid organic–inorganic lead or tin halide-based material as the light-harvesting active layer. Perovskite materials, such as methylammonium lead halides and all-inorganic cesium lead halide, are cheap to produce and simple to manufacture. Solar-cell efficiencies of laboratory-scale devices using these materials have increased from 3.8% in 2009 to 25.

Solar cell

A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical phenomenon. It is a form of photoelectric cell, defined as a device whose electrical characteristics, such as current, voltage, or resistance, vary when exposed to light. Individual solar cell devices are often the electrical building blocks of photovoltaic modules, known colloquially as solar panels.

Organic solar cell

An organic solar cell (OSC) or plastic solar cell is a type of photovoltaic that uses organic electronics, a branch of electronics that deals with conductive organic polymers or small organic molecules, for light absorption and charge transport to produce electricity from sunlight by the photovoltaic effect. Most organic photovoltaic cells are polymer solar cells. The molecules used in organic solar cells are solution-processable at high throughput and are cheap, resulting in low production costs to fabricate a large volume.
