Summary: By introducing the humidity-assisted polymerizable additive MMDS, efficient CsPbI3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be fabricated in common air without humidity control. MMDS molecules can react with water in the air and self-polymerize to form a water-resistant polymer at grain boundaries, preventing further moisture invasion. The -SH group in MMDS can passivate under-coordinated Pb2+ and reduce trap density in CsPbI3 films. As a result, high efficiencies of >18% are achieved in inverted CsPbI3 PSCs regardless of the relative humidity between 40% and 80%.

Summary: The fabrication of perovskite solar cells through blade coating often leads to more defective films. In this study, a bifunctional molecule, p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), was used to enhance the barrier to ion migration and promote the formation of defect-reduced, homogeneous films. The PSCs with PABA achieved impressive power conversion efficiencies and maintained high stability under extreme conditions.

Summary: A series of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) and layer-by-layer (LbL) all-polymer solar cells (APSCs) were prepared with PM6 as donor and PY-DT as acceptor in conventional and inverted configurations. The traditional LbL APSCs exhibited the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.24%, attributed to efficient charge transport and exciton utilization with energy transfer from PM6 to PY-DT and self-absorption effect of PM6 playing crucial roles.

Summary: Energy shortage is a global issue as fossil fuels deplete and energy consumption increases. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a promising technology with comparable efficiency to traditional solar cells but lower fabrication costs. However, most PSCs research uses hazardous solvents unsuitable for large-scale production. This study successfully deposited PSC layers using a non-toxic solvent and ambient conditions, achieving high power conversion efficiencies.
