Our research group focuses on the development of functional polymer materials and hybrid perovskite materials for various kinds of optoelectronic devices, including thin-film transistor (TFT), (photo-)memory, light-emitting diode (LED), and solar cell devices. We are particularly interested in exploring the structure-performance relationships of polymers and hybrid perovskites. In addition to advances in the controlled synthesis of organic semiconductors, we also explore innovative interfacial and device engineering to optimize the device performance. In this presentation, we will highlight our works in the past few years on interface engineering for organic, perovskite and perovskite/organic tandem solar cells. An integrated study of combining material synthesis, interface engineering, and morphology analyses will be introduced and discussed to explore the full promise of the devices, with a particular focus on long-term device stability (see Figure 1).[1-3] We will start with our recent interface engineering works on organic solar cells and extend to single-junction perovksite solar cells and perovksite-organic tandem cells.
