Amide‐Catalyzed Phase‐Selective Crystallization Reduces Defect Density in Wide‐Bandgap Perovskites
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Wide‐bandgap (WBG) formamidinium–cesium (FA‐Cs) lead iodide–bromide mixed perovskites are promising materials for front cells well‐matched with crystalline silicon to form tandem solar cells. They offer avenues to augment the performance of widely deployed commercial solar cells. However, phase instability, high open‐circuit voltage ( V oc ) deficit, and large hysteresis limit this otherwise promising technology. Here, by controlling the crystallization of FA‐Cs WBG perovskite with the aid of a formamide cosolvent, light‐induced phase segregation and hysteresis in perovskite solar cells are suppressed. The highly polar solvent additive formamide induces direct formation of the black perovskite phase, bypassing the yellow phases, thereby reducing the density of defects in films. As a result, the optimized WBG perovskite solar cells (PSCs) ( E g ≈ 1.75 eV) exhibit a high V oc of 1.23 V, reduced hysteresis, and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.8%. A PCE of 15.2% on 1.1 cm 2 solar cells, the highest among the reported efficiencies for large‐area PSCs having this bandgap is also demonstrated. These perovskites show excellent phase stability and thermal stability, as well as long‐term air stability. They maintain ≈95% of their initial PCE after 1300 h of storage in dry air without encapsulation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
