Abstract
The photovoltaic performance of inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) still lags behind the organic-inorganic hybrid PSCs due to limited light absorption of wide bandgap CsPbI<sub>3-x</sub>Br<sub><i>x</i></sub> under solar illumination. Constructing tandem devices with organic solar cells can effectively extend light absorption toward the long-wavelength region and reduce radiative photovoltage loss. Herein, we utilize wide-bandgap CsPbI<sub>2</sub>Br semiconductor and narrow-bandgap PM6:Y6-BO blend to fabricate perovskite/organic tandem solar cells with an efficiency of 21.1% and a very small tandem open-circuit voltage loss of 0.06 V. We demonstrate that the hole transport material of the interconnecting layers plays a critical role in determining efficiency, with polyTPD being superior to PBDB-T-Si and D18 due to its low parasitic absorption, sufficient hole mobility and quasi-Ohmic contact to suppress charge accumulation and voltage loss within the tandem device. These perovskite/organic tandem devices also display superior storage, thermal and ultraviolet stabilities.
