 Two-dimensional van der Waals layered materials possess strong Coulomb interactions, giving rise to large exciton binding energies, and weak exciton-phonon coupling, allowing lower carrier cooling rates. Tuning the interface is paramount to pushing the device's performance including its optoelectrical properties. Engineering the interface with various 2D-materials (Transition Metal Dichalcogenides, carbon nitride, and Mxenes) at hole transport layers and perovskite, can eliminate defective charge build-up and suppress the charge carrier recombination rate to induce accelerated photo-induced charge transfer. This in turn minimizes voltage deficit. In some cases, where inorganic hole transport layers are used it also avoids direct contact with metal oxide (eg. NiOx with perovskite, overcoming the possible instability of the active layer via iodide oxidation and deprotonation of cationic amines). The use of 2D materials will serve as an effective interfacial layer for reliability in photovoltaics. We will show examples to optimize the interface and band alignment for efficient charge extraction, push the performance and reliability of the perovskite solar cells, and will decipher device kinetics.
