All‐round Passivation Strategy Yield Flexible Perovskite/CuInGaSe₂ Tandem Solar Cells with Efficiency Exceeding 26.5%

AbstractThe perovskite/Cu(InGa)Se2 (CIGS) tandem solar cells (TSCs) presents a compelling technological combination poised for the next generation of flexible and lightweight photovoltaic (PV) tandem devices, featuring a tunable bandgap, high power conversion efficiency (PCE), lightweight flexibility and enhanced stability and durability. Over the years, the imperative to enhance the performance of wide bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has grown significantly, particularly in the context of a flexible tandem device. In this study, we introduce an all‐round passivation (ARP) strategy known as Dual Passivation at Grains and Interfaces (DPGI) for WBG PSCs in perovskite/CIGS tandem structures. The implementation of DPGI is tailored to improve film crystallinity and passivate defects across the solar cell structure, leading to a substantial performance enhancement for WBG PSCs. Subsequently, both rigid and flexible tandem devices are assembled. Impressively, we successfully fabricated a fully flexible 4T perovskite/CIGS TSCs with a PCE of 26.57%, making it the highest value in this field and highlighting its potential applications in the next generation of flexible lightweight PV tandem devices.This article is protected by copyright.
