Abstract
Integrated perovskite/organic solar cells (IPOSCs) have shown great potential in broadening the light absorption range and improving the photovoltaic performance. However, the severe interface charge recombination and unmatched energy levels between perovskite and organic photoactive layers hinder their performance improvement. Here, an efficient interface passivation strategy for IPOSCs based on a layered Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) perovskite and high photovoltaic performance is successfully demonstrated. It is found that an ultrathin conjugated polymer (PM6) layer could passivate the surface defects of perovskite film, tuning the energy level and suppress the nonradiative recombination loss, leading to efficient interface contact between RP perovskite and organic photoactive layers, boosting the open‐circuit voltage from 1.06 to 1.12 V and the efficiency from 17.23% to 19.15%. Importantly, the optimized device shows extended photocurrent response to 930 nm with a peak intensity close to 50% from 800 to 931 nm. The results indicate that interface passivation using a functionalized polymer could be an efficient strategy to improve the photovoltaic performance of integrated devices.
