Perovskite solar cells have demonstrated remarkable potential with power conversion efficiencies exceeding 25%, yet their operational stability remains a critical limitation. Under standard environmental conditions, these cells typically degrade within weeks or months due to moisture infiltration, ion migration, and interface deterioration, while commercial silicon cells maintain performance for 25+ years.

The fundamental challenge lies in preserving the exceptional optoelectronic properties of perovskites while protecting their inherently unstable crystal structure from environmental and operational stressors.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including cellulose ester derivative passivation layers, morpholine-modified interfaces, silane-based functional groups for defect control, and thiol-based surface modifications. These and other approaches focus on practical methods to extend device lifetime while maintaining high power conversion efficiency.

48. Perovskite Solar Cell with Hydrophobic Interface Layer for Water Resistance

UNIV WUHAN TECH, 2018

A stable perovskite solar cell with improved water resistance and durability. The cell incorporates a hydrophobic interface layer between the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the electron-transporting layer, which prevents water-induced degradation. This hydrophobic interface layer is formed through a novel process involving the synthesis of perovskite materials with incorporated hydrophobic components. The resulting solar cell exhibits enhanced stability in air compared to conventional perovskite solar cells, with improved performance characteristics.

49. Perovskite Solar Cells with Long Alkyl Chain Hydrophobic Molecule Incorporation

WUHAN UNIVERSITY, Wuhan University, 2018

Hydrophobic perovskite solar cells with enhanced stability through the incorporation of long alkyl chain hydrophobic molecules in the perovskite precursor solution. The method involves adding n-octyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS) to the perovskite precursor solution, which significantly improves the hydrophobicity and water resistance of the perovskite film. This results in improved film-forming quality, enhanced stability, and increased efficiency of the perovskite solar cells under controlled humidity conditions.

50. Perovskite Solar Cell with Long-Chain Alkylsilane Modified Interface Between Methylamine Lead Iodide and Titanium Dioxide Films

NINGBO UNIVERSITY, Ningbo University, 2017

A perovskite solar cell with enhanced stability in humid environments through interface modification. The cell incorporates a conductive glass layer, dense titanium dioxide film, porous titanium dioxide film, methylamine lead iodide polycrystalline film, and a hole transport layer. The interface between the methylamine lead iodide polycrystalline film and the titanium dioxide film is modified with a long-chain alkylsilane coupling agent, which forms a hydrophobic layer that prevents perovskite degradation while maintaining electron transmission. This dual-function interface modification improves the cell's stability and efficiency under humid conditions.
