Abstract
Organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have high solar power conversion efficiency due to the excellent opto-electronic properties of this class of perovskite materials. However, improving their long-term stability under continuous illumination is essential for future commercialization. To improve the stability of PSCs, a variety of possible degradation mechanisms have been studied in detail. For example, moisture, oxygen and UV-light induced extrinsic degradation mechanisms are well known, and it is possible to avoid these degradation modes by using appropriate encapsulation technology. On the other hand, intrinsic degradation mechanisms such as phase segregation and ion migration induced degradation processes are still under debate, and further studies are needed. In this presentation, we will demonstrate how the ion migration affects the degradation in PSCs. Furthermore, we propose a strategy to overcome this intrinsic degradation via interface engineering. As a result, we obtain highly stable PSCs that show no degradation after 1,000 hours of continuous illumination.
