In this study, we present interface modification of lead halide perovskite solar cells in normal configuration by means of deposition of functionalized Mxene (Ti3C2) nanosheets. H3PP ligand as used as functionalizing and passivation agent molecule at the interface of perovskite-Spiro OMeTAD layers. MXene nanosheets were prepared by delamination of MXene bulk powers with a novel method then dispersed in a pre-dissolved H3pp (0.5 mg/ml) solution. JV measurements showed a PCE of 20.03% for modified device while the reference device PCE was 19.63%. Impedance Spectroscopy analyses and Mott-Schottky analysis revealed the increase of recombination resistance and reduction of trap state densities, respectively, for modified device. Stability studies by means of MPP tracking under N2 atmosphere for 1000 h showed enhanced stability for devices modified by pure MXene nanosheets and H3PP modified MXene nanosheets devices. In addition to that, MPP tracking of encapsulated devices under outdoor conditions  showed clear indication of higher stability in performance of H3PP/Mxene modified devices.In this study, we present interface modification of lead halide perovskite solar cells in normal configuration by means of deposition of functionalized Mxene (Ti3C2) nanosheets.
