Abstract

Although the efficiencies of all-perovskite tandem solar cells have surpassed 26%, further advancement of device performance is constrained by the large photovoltage deficit in wide-band-gap perovskite subcells. Meanwhile, state-of-the-art charge recombination layers incorporate an additional thin metal film (Au or Ag), which not only complexes device fabrication but induces parasitic optical losses. Here, we first fabricate efficient wide-band-gap perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with by suppressing nonradiative losses both in bulk material and at interface. The prepared PSCs with a band gap of 1.71 eV yield an impressive open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.27 V, giving a small VOC deficit of 0.44 V and an efficiency of 20.8%. We then fabricate monolithic all-printed perovskite tandem devices by constructing a metal-free recombination layer, which yields an efficiency of 23.65% and a high VOC of 2.05 V. This work offers a simple yet effective charge recombination architecture for advancing the performance of all-perovskite tandem devices.
