Multi-junction device architectures can increase the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of photovoltaic (PV) cells beyond the single-junction thermodynamic limit. However, these devices are challenging to produce by solution-based methods, where dissolution of underlying layers is problematic. By employing a highly volatile acetonitrile(CH3CN)/methylamine(CH3NH2) (ACN/MA) solvent-based perovskite solution, we demonstrate fully solution-processed absorber, transport and recombination layers for monolithic all-perovskite tandem and triple-junction solar cells. By combining FA0.83Cs0.17Pb(Br0.7I0.3)3 (1.94 eV) and MAPbI3 (1.57 eV) junctions, we reach two-terminal tandem PCEs of over 15 % (steady-state). We show that a MAPb0.75Sn0.25I3 (1.34 eV) narrow band gap perovskite can be processed via the ACN/MA solvent-based system, demonstrating the first, proof-of-concept, monolithic all-perovskite triple-junction solar cell with an open-circuit voltage reaching 2.83 V. Through optical and electronic modeling, we estimate the achievable PCE of a state-of-the-art triple-junction device architecture to be 26.7%. Our work opens new possibilities for large-scale, low-cost, printable perovskite multi-junction solar cells.
