All-perovskite tandem solar cells show great potential to enable the highest
performance at reasonable costs for a viable market entry in the near future.
In particular, wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites with higher open-circuit
voltage (VOC) are essential to further improve the tandem solar cells’
performance. Here, a new 1.8 eV bandgap triple-halide perovskite
composition in conjunction with a piperazinium iodide (PI) surface treatment
is developed. With structural analysis, it is found that the PI modifies the
surface through a reduction of excess lead iodide in the perovskite and
additionally penetrates the bulk. Constant light-induced magneto-transport
measurements are applied to separately resolve charge carrier properties of
electrons and holes. These measurements reveal a reduced deep trap state
density, and improved steady-state carrier lifetime (factor 2.6) and diffusion
lengths (factor 1.6). As a result, WBG PSCs achieve 1.36 V VOC, reaching 90%
of the radiative limit. Combined with a 1.26 eV narrow bandgap (NBG)
perovskite with a rubidium iodide additive, this enables a tandem cell with a
certified scan efficiency of 27.5%.

1. Introduction
Metal-halide perovskites have raised great
interest for the application in tandem
solar cells since they offer the ability to
greatly exceed the efficiency of today’s in-
cumbent photovoltaics (PVs) technologies,
which are based on single junctions of
silicon (Si), or thin-film semiconductors.
One of the key features of perovskites is
that the bandgap can be tuned through
composition engineering.[1–3]Choosing
an optimum combination of bandgaps
allows to efficiently utilize sunlight in
two (or more) absorber layers, such as
in the combination of perovskite/Si,[4–6]
perovskite/CIGS (copper indium gallium
selenide),[7–9]perovskite/organic,[10–12]and
perovskite/perovskite[13–30]tandem solar
cells. Particularly, all-perovskite tandems
are of great interest since they have the

potential to be manufactured at lower costs and CO2emis-
sions than silicon-containing tandem technologies.[31]Typically,
an all-perovskite tandem solar cell (APTSC) combines a narrow-
bandgap (NBG, ≈1.25 eV) mixed tin-lead (Sn-Pb) perovskite for
the bottom cell, and a wide-bandgap (WBG, ≈1.8 eV) lead (Pb)
perovskite for the top cell.[13–15,19,26,27,29,32–35]The highest certified
power conversion efficiency (PCE) of APTSC is 29.1%, which
largely surpasses the best single-junction perovskite solar cells
(PSCs, 26.1% PCE).[36,37]In addition, the PCE of all-perovskite
tandems increased rapidly over the last years due to significant
improvements in the NBG Sn-Pb perovskite subcell. This orig-
inates from combined research efforts to improve crystallinity,
suppress the oxidation of Sn2+, increase carrier lifetime and
diffusion length, and reduce trap density by employing a close-
space annealing strategy,[16]passivating molecules,[25,38]and
additives’ application.[14,26,27,32,39–44]
On the other hand, the performance of WBG top cells has to
be improved, as these cells face significant recombination losses
due to halide-segregation, composition- and bromide (Br)-related
defects, and non-ideal contact layers.[2,45,46]In addition, there are
pronounced non-radiative recombination losses at the interface
of the perovskite with electron transport materials (ETMs, such
as fullerene-C60) that can reduce the VOC of WBG PSCs even
further, especially for bandgaps above 1.7 eV.[47]Post-treatment
of perovskite surfaces has been demonstrated as an effective ap-
proach to reduce non-radiative recombination losses and achieve
higher VOC.[21,48,49]Despite these efforts, most reported VOCsof
WBG PSCs are still below 90% of the radiative limit for bandgaps
≈1.80 eV, lagging behind the performance of perovskites with
bandgaps of 1.5–1.6 eV, which reach over 95% of the radiative
limit.[50]

2. Results and Discussion
In this work, we developed a 1.80 eV triple-halide WBG-
perovskite with piperazinium iodide (PI) as a surface
treatment.[50]Our study expands on our recent work[51]on
PI applied to perovskite in perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells
and deepens the understanding of the PI working mechanism.
We find that PI is also exceptionally well suited to reduce non-
radiative recombination losses for perovskites with a bandgap
of 1.8 eV. With this approach, we reduced excessive lead iodide
in the perovskite film, achieved lower non-radiative recombi-
nation losses, and increased carrier lifetime. In addition, we
study the charge carrier dynamics, with constant light-induced
magneto-transport (CLIMAT)[52,53]measurements to resolve
fingerprints of free electrons and holes separately and find that
the PI treatment increases the steady-state carrier lifetime and
diffusion lengths under one-sun illumination by a factor of 2.6
and 1.6, respectively. Quasi-Fermi level splitting (QFLS) analysis
demonstrated that PI entirely eliminated recombination losses
at the modified perovskite/C60 interface, reaching 1.45 eV, which
marks a significant improvement over the reference (1.37 eV).
The PI-modified PSC achieved a maximum PCE of 20.3% (VOC:
1.34 V) and a maximum VOC of 1.36 V (PCE: 20.0%), which is
equal to 90% of the radiative limit, being among the highest
VOC for a WBG perovskite that can be integrated as the top cell
in APTSCs. Combining this superior WBG PSC with an NBG
Sn-Pb perovskite which utilizes rubidium iodide additive, we
achieved a tandem cell with a certified efficiency of 27.5% and
27.2% maximum power point (MPP) tracked efficiency. Further-
more, as evidenced through absolute PL measurements, the
potential PCE of these tandems was 30.4% with a VOC potential
of 2.18 V.k.
2.1. Wide-Bandgap Perovskite Study
We developed a triple halide WBG perovskite composition with
a bandgap of 1.80 eV, suitable for integration into all-perovskite
tandem solar cells.[55,56]For this, we determined bandgap, pho-
tovoltaic performance, and QFLS for different variations of Br
(15% to 30%), and Cl contents (5% to 10%). As reported by Xu
et al., perovskite compositions comprising I, Br, and Cl show
a non-monotonous development of the bandgap in response to
variations at the X-site[56]and therefore require a careful opti-
mization, as detailed in Note I and Figures S1–S3 (Supporting
Information). In all cases, a self-assembled monolayer (2-(9H-
cabazol-9-yl)ethyl)phosphonic acid (2PACz) was employed as the
hole transport material (HTM). After optimization, we selected
triple-halide perovskite with a bandgap of 1.80 eV and a compo-
sition of FA0.78Cs0.22Pb(Br0.3I0.7)3+10%MAPbCl3.
To further improve the VOC of the WBG PSCs, we post-treated
the annealed WBG perovskite with the spin-coated ionic liq-
uid piperazinium iodide (PI), following a previously reported
procedure.[50,51]This leads to a significant alteration of the per-
ovskite surface and of the selected film properties as we describe
below. In addition, the PI molecule may interact with the per-
ovskite surface via its different surface terminating ends, po-
tentially passivating different defects such as vacancy defects
(such as VIand VMA/VFA) forming undercoordinated Pb2+and
halide sites.[50,57]Different PI concentrations, ranging from 0.5

strong changes in signals at the near-surface region are due to surface artifacts inherent to SIMS data until surface contamination is removed and sputter
equilibrium is achieved. Additional ionic traces determined from the TO-SIMS measurements are displayed in Figure S7 (Supporting Information). c)

to 2.0 mg mL−1, were employed to determine the optimum con-
ditions for the best performance, as detailed in Figures S4, S5
(Supporting Information). Solar cells employing 1 mg ml−1PI
showed the highest PCE, which can mostly be attributed to an in-
crease. This suggests that, for multiple perovskite compositions,
PI seems to be a very promising and unique molecule for surface
treatment in high-efficiency top cells for tandem applications. In
this study, we attempt to investigate the working mechanism of
PI on the WBG perovskite and expand the understanding of its
influence on structural properties, defect density, and charge car-
rier dynamics of the perovskite.
First, we investigated the influence of PI on the structural
properties of the WBG perovskite. For this, we performed atten-
uated total reflection Fourier-transformed infrared (ATR-FTIR,
Figure S6, Supporting Information) spectroscopy and time-of-
flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS, Figure 1a,b)
measurements to prove the existence of PI after treatment. Figure
S6 (Supporting Information) displays the vibrational spectra of
PI powder, perovskite, and PI-modified perovskite. The PI modi-
fication leads to a reduction of transmission in the fingerprint re-
gion (1050–1350 cm−1), which is challenging to deconvolute, due
to the multitude of different vibrational modes at low wavenum-
bers, which can also be observed in the spectrum of PI powder.
Yet, no clear change in the amidic (N-H) vibration mode (≈3000–
3500 cm−1)[59]could be observed, possibly due to the low concen-
tration of PI and the occurrence of N-H bonds in the perovskite
itself. These measurements indicate the presence of the piper-
azinium cation on the perovskite surface, without evidence of
strong interaction with the organic framework of the perovskite.
To further explore the integration of PI into the perovskite, ToF-
SIMS measurements were performed. As expected, the ionized
mass corresponding to piperazinium is in the noise level for the
reference (Figure 1a), while for the PI-modified sample, the trace
of a piperazinium cation expanding well into the perovskite was
detected (Figure 1b). These results also demonstrate that the PI
treatment does not alter the concentration of other constituents
in the perovskite such as methylamine or formamidinium. A set
of more device-relevant ionic species is displayed in Figure S7
(Supporting Information).
To understand the influence of PI on the WBG perovskite’s
crystal structure X-ray diffraction (XRD) in Bragg–Brentano and,
grazing incidence (GIXRD, 0.2°GI angle) configuration, and
grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) have
been employed, with results shown in Figure 1c,FiguresS8, S9
(Supporting Information). As seen in Figure S8a (Supporting
Information), the crystal structure of perovskite films was not
changed before and after PI modification. The GIXRD showed
the changed diffraction intensity of PbI2at the surface of the
PI-modified sample compared to the reference (Figure S8b,Sup-
porting Information). To quantify the reduction of PbI2, the GI-
WAXS measurements were employed by tuning the incidence
angles between 0°and 0.3°, enabling us to collect signals from

various integrating depths in GIWAXS, as shown in Figure 1c.
The PbI2content decreased from 28.7% to 19.3% on average af-
ter PI modification at the surface, which remains to influence the
integrated signal over the whole considered probing depth.
The decrease of PbI2upon PI treatment and surface features of
perovskite films were further confirmed by scanning electron mi-
croscopy cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) with 500 nm CL emis-
sion and 500 ±50 nm band pass filter, and SEM images. The
PbI2-to-perovskite coverage ratio reduced (i.e., 12.6% for the ref-
erence, and 8.1% for the PI-modified samples) upon PI modifi-
cation, as evident from the overlay of the SEM secondary electron
image (grey) with an SEM-CL intensity image (yellow), as shown
in Figure 1d,e and Table S1 (Supporting Information). To exclude
the solvent effect, we also conducted a control experiment, in
which we rinsed the surface with IPA only. As expected, the SEM-
CL analysis (Figure S10, Supporting Information) only shows a
minor reduction of PbI2which is further confirmed by top-view
and cross-sectional SEM images (Figure S11, Supporting Infor-
mation). The role of surficial PbI2and its influence on optoelec-
tronic properties was extensively investigated in previous studies
and is still under debate.[60]Typically, it is found that an optimum
surface coverage of PbI2enhances the device’s performance.[55]
Macroscopically, the PI treatment does not alter the optical prop-
erties of the perovskite absorber as evidenced by reflection and
transmission measurements (Figure S12, Supporting Informa-
tion).
Time-dependent steady-state PL spectra of the neat perovskite
on quartz revealed that the PI-modified perovskite featured an
improved photostability when compared with the reference sam-
ple (Figure 2a,b). The PI-modified sample showed a slight light
soaking effect with increasing PL intensity over time, while it
declined over time and suffered from the emergence of a sec-
ond PL emission feature for the reference, possibly due to halide
segregation.[10,61,62]To evaluate the initial non-radiative recom-
bination losses, absolute PL measurements were conducted to
determine the QFLS values (Figure S10b,c, Supporting Informa-
tion). The QFLS constitutes the upper limit for the VOC and can
thus enable valuable insights into the optoelectronic quality of
a photovoltaic absorber. The best QFLS of the PI-modified per-
ovskite reached 1.45 eV and was therefore slightly higher than
for the untreated reference (1.42 eV, see inset of Figure 2a,b).
This indicates that the PI modification reduced the perovskite’s
non-radiative recombination losses, suggesting a passivation of
the surface by, for example, a reduced defect density. This is dif-
ferent from our previous study, where even a decrease in QFLS
after PI treatment of the absorber layer was found and hence no
indication of a chemical passivation.[51]A detailed analysis of the
influence of the charge transport materials (CTM) on QFLS fol-
lows below.
Transient PL (trPL) characterizations were conducted at one-
sun equivalent charge carrier generation to evaluate the carrier
lifetime (𝜏) and recombination losses, as shown in Figure 2c
and Table S2 (Supporting Information). The carrier lifetime of
the neat perovskite film on quartz improved significantly up to
3.32 μs after PI modification compared to 0.96 μs of the reference
sample.
To further study the influence of the PI on the surface prop-
erties of the, we conducted near-UV photoelectron spectroscopy
(PES) measurements with varying excitation energy in constant
final state mode (CFSYS) for the perovskite with a layer stack
of glass/ITO/2PACz/perovskite (without/with PI). Under the as-
sumption of a constant dipole matrix element, CFSYS allows us
to trace the density of occupied states over a large dynamic range
in the valence band region and bandgap up to the Fermi edge.
The CFSYS spectra shown in Figure 2d are aligned at the mod-
eled valence band maximum (VBM) to allow for a direct compari-
son of the density of occupied defects in units of the internal pho-
toelectron yield.[63]The integrated density of defect states of the
PI-modified perovskite was significantly decreased compared to
the reference sample as indicated by the grey arrow in Figure 2d.
This supports our results obtained by PL, suggesting chemical
passivation as the origin of the increased charge carrier lifetime
and enhanced QFLS of the PI-modified sample. Interestingly, a
reduced defect density and increase in QFLS were not found for
the PI-treated perovskite absorber in our above-mentioned study
on a different perovskite composition.[51]The herein-found de-
fect states are likely to be attributed to PbI2on the surface,[63]and
their decrease is in line with the reduced PbI2concentration as
discussed in the structural analysis above. Our results agree well
with the chemical working mechanism of PI recently described
by Li et al. as acting as both, an electron donor and acceptor while
interacting with PbI2on the perovskite surface.[50]
Besides the influence of the defect density at the perovskite
surface, also the energy level alignment with the CTMs can play
a crucial role in the device’s performance. The energetic posi-
tions of the VBM and work function (WF) with respect to the
surface Fermi level (EF*) were determined from the CFSYS and
UPS (h𝜈=6.5 eV) spectra as shown in Figure S14 (Supporting
Information) and summarized in Figure 2e according to our pre-
viously established fitting procedure.[64]We found that the Fermi-
level of the PI-modified sample shifted slightly further away from
the VBM as compared to the reference: EV−EF* increased from
−1.45 to −1.55 eV. Considering the optical bandgap of the per-
ovskite (1.8 eV), the conduction band minimum (CBM) of the
reference and PI-modified perovskites was determined to 0.35
and 0.25 eV above the Fermi-level, respectively, indicating an in-
creased electron concentration at the perovskite surface after PI
treatment. The WF of the reference and PI-modified samples is
found to be very similar with 4.45 and 4.48 eV (Figure S14c,Sup-
porting Information), respectively. Hence, the ionization energy
of the PI-modified perovskite was increased by ≈130 meV com-
pared to the reference, which might be due to the formation of
a positive dipole on the surface. A downward offset between the
perovskite conduction band minimum and the C60 LUMO can be
reduced by such a dipole and thereby lead to a beneficial energy
level alignment.[51,64]
The dipole obtained here is roughly half the size of the dipole
found in our previous study, which might be caused by the dif-
ferent perovskite composition and/or PI concentration. To fully
reveal the chemical and physical mechanisms, a broader survey
study is required. Here, our results suggest that both the dipole
and decrease in surface defects contribute to the improved inter-
face.
To gain more insight into the defect physics, we applied a
unique version of four-point probe photo-Hall measurements,
based on a combination of light illumination with magnetic field:
CLIMAT (Figure S15a,b, Supporting Information, see the Exper-
imental Section, Supporting Information for more details).[52,53]

concentrations of the reference (Ref.) and PI-modified perovskites as simulated from the CLIMAT results.
This method allows to disentangle concentrations, lifetimes, and
diffusion lengths of electrons and holes and ultimately deter-
mines the bulk defect density by probing charge transport in
the plane parallel to the substrate. Illumination parameters in
a steady-state regime closely resembling “one sun” conditions,
reveal charge carrier transport that is essential to solar cell oper-
ation conditions.
First, we investigate the conductivity, Hall coefficient, and
Hall mobility under various steady-state illumination conditions
(Figure S15d,e, Supporting Information), which can be extracted
by measuring the longitudinal voltage induced by the electrical
current without applied magnetic field and transverse Hall volt-
age under oscillating the magnetic field. With this, the electron
and hole concentration (nand p), mobilities (μeand μh), lifetimes
(𝜏eand 𝜏h), and diffusion lengths (Leand Lh) can be determined.
The reference sample showed a significant p-type conductivity
for low generation rates, whereas the PI-modified sample ex-
hibited n-type conductivity (Figure 2f; Figure S15f, Supporting

Information). This trend toward higher electron concentration
for PI-modified layers is consistent with the Fermi level ap-
proaching the CBM as observed by CFSYS. Note, that the ab-
solute values are however very different, which is reasonable to
be expected. We attribute this to first, the different probing at-
mospheres and second, the different probing depths of the mea-
surement techniques. The probing atmosphere has been found
to strongly impact the sample work function with typically much
lower work function under UHV conditions for PES as compared
to ambient or inert atmosphere (for CLIMAT).[65]Furthermore,
PES measurements are highly surface sensitive and only probe
the topmost few nm, while CLIMAT measurements are bulk sen-
sitive and hence over all much less sensitive to surface defects
or band bending. As the reference and PI-modified perovskites
are p-orn-type, respectively, the free hole (μh) and electron (μe)
mobilities (0.53 and 0.55 cm2V−1s−1) can be directly assigned
to the dominant carrier type at low illumination conditions (see
Equation SH3, Figure S15d,f, Supporting Information). With in-
creased illumination, the Hall mobility decreased to the differ-
ence of electron and hole mobilities, as predicted by Equation
SH3 (Supporting Information). Note that Hall mobility includes
the contribution of both free electrons and holes (𝜇2
ppand 𝜇2
enin
Equation SH3, Supporting Information) and thus can decrease
when μhand μebecome similar.
Electron and hole concentrations (nand p) can be calculated by
solving the equations for semiconductor conductivity (Equation
SH1, Supporting Information) and for the Hall coefficient (Equa-
tion SH2, Supporting Information) with mobilities found in the
low illumination regime. The charge carrier lifetimes and diffu-
sion lengths as functions of the generation rate were calculated
according to Equations SH4–SH7 (Supporting Information) and
are visualized in Figure 2g,h. The lifetimes of electron and hole
become similar as the illumination intensity is increased while
they are distinctly different at low and moderate illumination con-
ditions, as shown in Figure S15g,h (Supporting Information). To
the best of our knowledge, such a difference between hole and
electron lifetimes was not revealed previously by other methods
due to natural limitations (e.g., in photoluminescence and pho-
toconductivity transient methods only one type of carrier is de-
tected) or unjustified simplifications (𝜏e=𝜏h).[66–68]
For device-relevant illumination conditions, one sun inten-
sity was considered. Since high injection conditions are reached
at this intensity, both densities and lifetimes of electrons and
holes become equal. For the PI-modified sample, the charge car-
rier lifetimes, and consequently the diffusion lengths of holes
and electrons significantly increased compared to the reference
(Figure 2g,h). The charge carrier lifetime was increased from 0.48
to 1.24 μs and the diffusion length from 0.81 to 1.30 μm (Table S3,
Supporting Information). These lifetimes show the same trend
as determined by trPL but are slightly lower in absolute num-
bers, which might be due to different measurement conditions
(steady-state vs pulsed illumination). To the best of our knowl-
edge, these steady-state diffusion lengths of the electrons and
holes are among the longest values compared with previous re-
ports on polycrystalline metal-halide perovskites.[66–68]
The knowledge of hole and electron concentration as a func-
tion of intensity allows us to develop charge transport simula-
tions (more details in Note II, Supporting Information) with the
theoretical model considering non-radiative and radiative recom-
bination. Performing our simulations in a steady-state condition
allows us to further understand the charge losses (more details
in Note II, Supporting Information). For reproducing the exper-
imental CLIMAT data, different models with various trap state
characteristics (deep vs shallow) were tested. Only the model with
deep trap states could explain the measured data for the transport
of electrons and holes (Table S4, Supporting Information), hence
they dominate the charge recombination processes. By this mod-
eling, we find that the deep trap concentration is reduced from
24 ×1013 cm−3to 4.2 ×1013 cm−3by the PI treatment (Figure 2i;
Figure S15g,h, Table S4, Supporting Information). The observed
decrease of deep trap concentration is consistent with the ToF-
SIMS results above, which proved the penetration of the piper-
azinium cation well into the bulk and can thereby chemically pas-
sivate the perovskite.
Next, we study the photovoltaic performance of single-junction
WBG solar cells with a layer stack of glass/ITO/2PACz/WBG
perovskite/C60/SnO2/Cu (Figure 3a). Prior to the analysis of full
solar cells, we performed a layer-by-layer loss analysis with abso-
lute PL measurements adding none, one, or both CTMs but leav-
ing out the SnO2buffer layer and Cu electrode. The calculated
QFLS values (Figure 3b) show that the neat perovskite reached
1.45 eV after PI modification with 2.2% PL quantum yield (Figure
S17, Supporting Information), which marked an improvement
over the reference sample (1.42 eV). When only adding C60 on top
of the perovskite, the QFLS of the reference sample was strongly
reduced to 1.37 eV, while the PI-treated sample retained its high
QFLS of 1.45 eV. This indicates that the PI modification success-
fully inhibited non-radiative recombination losses that occurred
at the perovskite/C60 interface. Upon the addition of 2PACz,
the QFLS of the reference and PI-modified samples were only
slightly reduced, which indicated low recombination losses at
that interface.[4,9]When combined with both, 2PACz and C60, the
PI-modified perovskite achieved a QFLS of 1.42 eV as compared
to 1.32 eV for the reference (Figure 3b;FiguresS13, S17,Sup-
porting Information).
Analogous to the analysis of the absolute PL, we studied
the recombination of charge carriers with transient PL (Figure
S18a–c, Supporting Information) and computed differential life-
times to separate the charge transfer process from trap-assisted
recombination,[69]asshowninFigureS18d–f (Supporting In-
formation). After depositing C60, trPL transients indicated a
much longer decay time for the PI-modified perovskite com-
pared to the reference sample on quartz substrates (8.78 μsvs
0.89 μs, Figure S18a, Table S2, Supporting Information). Fur-
thermore, on a glass/ITO/2PACz substrate, the PI-modified per-
ovskite also had a longer trPL transient compared to the reference
sample, as shown in Figure S18b (Supporting Information). In
the complete layer stack (glass/ITO/2PACz/perovskite/C60), the
trPL transients of the PI-modified perovskite, yield a remarkable
mono-exponential decay lifetime >10 μs compared to <1μsfor
the reference sample, as shown in Figure S18c (Supporting Infor-
mation). These remarkable improvements in the trPL decay life-
time of the PI-modified perovskites, both with and without C60
can be attributed to the significant reduction of the non-radiative
recombination losses and likely to the reduction of trap states.
This analysis revealed a significantly improved interface between

the perovskite and CTMs with PI modification by reducing non-
radiative recombination losses.
Subsequently, we carried out J–V measurements to determine
the photovoltaic performance. Figure 3c displays J–V character-
istics of the best PI-modified and reference device. The PV per-
formance parameters of PSCs with and without PI modification
were characterized and are shown in Figure 3d,e and Table 1.The
best PI-modified PSC achieved a VOC of 1.34 V, an FF of 83.9%,
and a PCE of 20.3%, which is a clear improvement over the ref-
erence device (VOC: 1.20 V, FF: 77.6%, PCE:16.6%). To the best
of our knowledge, this result marks one of the first PSC with
a bandgap of ≈1.8 eV surpassing a PCE of 20%.[34,35,40,45,47,70,71]
The photogenerated current densities (Jph) calculated from exter-
nal quantum efficiency (EQE) spectra (Figure S19a, Supporting
Information) agree well with the JSCs determined from J–V char-
acterization.
The MPP tracking (inset of Figure 3c) demonstrates that the PI
modification strongly improved the steady-state operational sta-
bility of the PSC. This is in line with the improved photostability
discussed above and the suppression of degradation in grain mor-
phology as evidenced by SEM images before and after anneal-
ing (Figure S20, Supporting Information). In addition, the PSCs
stability was also improved in longer MPP tracking and shelf-
storage in the glovebox (Figure S19b,c, Supporting Information).
The PI-modified PSCs exhibited a significantly improved per-
formance compared to reference samples, with mean values of
1.33 V (VOC), 82.7 % (FF), 19.6% (PCE), and 17.8 mA cm−2(JSC),

PI-modified PSC reached 1.36 V with a 20.0% PCE (Figure S19d,
Supporting Information). This marks an Eg/q−VOC deficit of
only 0.44 V, which marks the highest PCE at a bandgap of 1.80 eV
and the highest VOC achieved for a PSC with a bandgap <1.85 eV
(Figure S19e,f, Supporting Information).[10,15,21,34,35,54,72,73]The

QFLS still surpasses the best VOC, of which the possible reason
will be discussed below.
Additionally, light-intensity-dependent J–V curves reveal a re-
duction of the ideality factor from 1.48 to 1.35 after PI modi-
fication (Figure S21, Supporting Information), which is indica-
tive of reduced non-radiative recombination and thus in good
agreement with the findings presented above. To further eval-
uate the performance potential of the WBG perovskite, a layer-
by-layer analysis analogous to the results above (Figure 3b)was
performed by means of intensity-dependent absolute PL mea-
surements (Figure S22, Table S5, Supporting Information). With
the PI-modification, the drop of the pseudo-FF (pFF) invoked
by the CTMs is less (from 88.1 to 87.4%) than for the refer-
ence sample (88.4% to 86.4%). As a result of the improved
pVOC and pFF, the pseudo-PCE (pPCE) of the PI-modified sam-
ple reached 21.8% as compared to 19.4% for the reference de-
vice (assuming a JSC of 17.8 mA cm−2from the EQE opti-
mized device as above). In view of previous studies on different
compositions[50,51]our results demonstrate that the PI treatment
can enhance the VOC for a wide range of triple halide perovskite
compositions.
2.2. Tandem Integration
To realize all-perovskite tandems, a bottom cell with an
NBG tin-lead (Sn-Pb) perovskite was developed. For this, the
performance of an NBG perovskite with the composition
Cs0.1FA0.6MA0.3Pb0.5Sn0.5I3[43]was optimized with rubidium io-
dide (RbI) additive according to our previous report for a different
composition.[74]The details of the optimization process and so-
lar cell results are described in Note III, Figures S23–S26,and
Table S6 (Supporting Information). The RbI-optimized NBG so-
lar cells achieved a VOC of 0.85 V, which resulted in an improved
PCE of 20.6% (reference: 18.3%), as shown in Table 1and Figure
S26b (Supporting Information). This demonstrates that RbI is
an efficient additive for various NBG perovskite compositions for
bottom-cell utilization.
We combined the optimized WBG and NBG single junctions
into APTSC. The schematic layout of the monolithic tandem cell
is displayed in Figure 4a. The tandem cell consists of the op-
timized WBG top cell with PI modification, which was electri-
cally coupled to the optimized NBG bottom cell with RbI addi-
tive through a 100 nm thick ITO recombination contact, which
protects the WBG subcell from damage during fabrication of the
NBG subcell and reduces reflection losses (see Figure S27,Sup-
porting Information). To improve the optical performance of the
device, an anti-reflection foil was glued to the substrate glass. A
detailed optical analysis is shown in Note IV, Figures S28, S29 and
Table S7 (Supporting Information). The cross-sectional morphol-
ogy of the tandem device in Figure 4b shows layer thicknesses
of ≈400 nm (WBG) and ≈1000 nm (NBG), respectively, both
demonstrating good crystallinity in the final tandem stack.
Figure 4c displays the J–V curves and 5 min MPP tracking
(inset figure) of a tandem cell that was certified at the Japan
Electrical Safety & Environmental Technology Laboratories (JET,
the full set of certification measurements is displayed in Figure
S30, Supporting Information). The certified cell exhibits a VOC
of 2.11 V (2.11 V), an FF of 80.9% (81.4%), and a PCE of 27.5%
(27.4%) in the forward (reverse) scan. The certified device sus-
tained a PCE of 27.2% over 5 min MPP tracking. The certi-
fied values for the integrated photogenerated current density for
the top and bottom subcell (Jph, WBG,andJph, NBG) reached 16.2
and 16.1 mA cm−2, which are consistent with integrated val-
ues extracted from EQE spectra measured in-house, as shown
in Figure 4d. The tandem cell exhibited a low current loss in the
top cell, while the bottom cell still suffered from relatively high
internal and reflection losses due to the lower absorption coef-
ficients in the band-edge region as compared to Pb-based per-
ovskites (for a summary of optical losses, refer to Table S7,Sup-
porting Information).[13,75]The thickness of our NBG perovskite
layer is limiting the absorption of infrared photons compared
with a previous report.[27]The PV parameters of this certified
tandem sample were also measured in-house before certification
(see Figure S31a,b, Supporting Information), and agree well with
the certified values. The best VOC of all fabricated tandem de-
vices was measured to be >2.15 V with a negligible hysteresis,
as shown in Figure S27c and Table S8 (Supporting Information).
This tandem VOC value is better or comparable to values reported
for the best APTSCs.[14–16,20,22,27,28,34,35,42,58,76]The statistical distri-
bution of the performance parameters is displayed in Figure 4e
and Figure S31d–f (Supporting Information). They show a nar-
row distribution with an average VOC of 2.11 ±0.02 V and PCE
of 27.2%. To evaluate the stability of our tandem cells, a long-term
MPP track under atmospheric conditions and room temperature
was performed after encapsulation (Figure 4f). The tandem de-
vice showed a rise in efficiency during the first 50 h, which is
in line with the PL results also showing enhanced emission over
time (Figure 2b). After 264 h of MPP tracking, the tandem sus-
tained 88.5% of its initial PCE, which is comparable to the stabil-
ity reported for an APTSC with a similar PCE.[30]
To further study the efficiency potential of our tandem
cells, pseudo J–Vcurves were acquired from illumination-
intensity dependent J–V measurements,[55]absolute-injection
dependent electroluminescence (EL),[4,5,58,77–79]and absolute-
intensity-dependent PL.[58,77,78]For this purpose, a structurally
identical tandem cell with a PCE of 27.5%, (performance param-
eters in Table S9) was used. As shown in Figure 4g and Table
S9 (Supporting Information), the pseudo J–V parameters of this
cell achieved a pFF of 83.4% and 28.7% pPCE (assuming JSC of
16.3 mA cm−2) when extracting values from intensity-dependent
J–V curves (suns-VOC), which agrees well with the pseudo J–V
generated by EL (inset table of Figure 4g). A pVOC of 0.815 V
for the NBG subcell was lower than expected from the single-
junction J–V characterization, which could be due to the adapted
annealing temperature of PEDOT: PSS in the tandem applica-
tion to reduce the thermal load for the WBG perovskite (120 °C
for 10 min vs 150 °C for 20 min). Interestingly, the pVOC of
the NBG perovskite determined from absolute PL measurements
was 52 mV higher than that obtained from EL. According to pre-
vious reports, this significant discrepancy could be evoked by
an energetic mismatch in the band structure of perovskite and
CTMs[58,78]or more generally due to a poor selectivity of a CTM
(i.e., a low majority/minority carrier conductivity ratio next to the
limiting interface).[80]In contrast, the pVOC of the WBG from PL
was 1.31 V and thus only slightly higher than the 1.29 V deter-
mined from EL. As a result, the pVOC of the tandem device ex-
tracted from PL achieved 2.18 V with a pseudo PCE of 30.4%,

which sets a realistic limit, if the series resistance losses could
be further reduced. To understand the losses in more detail, the
single-junction J–V and pseudo J–V curves (PL and EL) of the
NBG and WBG PSCs were also measured (Figure 4h,i). Similar
to the results obtained for the tandem cell, also the characteriza-
tion of the subcells shows lower pVOCs from EL than PL (NBG:
40 mV, WBG: 30 mV; see inset tables of Figure 4h,i). We thus
conclude that for further improvements of the performance, it is
necessary to develop new HTMs with better energetic alignment
to the NBG perovskite. Overall, the results from the pseudo J–V
measurements highlight that the PCE of the all-perovskite tan-
dem solar cells could surpass 30%. In addition, improvements in
the thermal stability are another key to further increase the VOC
of the WBG PSCs (see Note V and Figure S32, Supporting Infor-
mation) and enable >30% efficient all-perovskite tandem solar
cells.
3. Conclusion
We developed a new triple-halide perovskite with a bandgap of
1.80 eV and implemented a piperazinium iodide (PI) surface
treatment, which virtually eliminated all non-radiative recombi-
nation losses at the perovskite/C60 interface. This study for the
first time demonstrates the successful application of PI to WBG
triple-halide perovskite absorbers and thereby shows the versa-
tility of PI to improve the interface properties of different metal-

halide perovskites. Moreover, this study combines detailed struc-
tural analysis with optoelectronic investigations and modeling to
further understand the influence of PI on device performance.
The structural analysis with ATR-FTIR and ToF-SIMS proved
the presence of PI at the surface and its penetration into the
bulk. Furthermore, XRD measurements demonstrated that the
PI modification decreases the PbI2fraction at the surface. Subse-
quently, near-UV PES measurements with varying excitation en-
ergy in constant final state mode (CFSYS) were employed to char-
acterize the surface energetics. Here, we found that both chem-
ical passivation by the decrease of surface and bulk defect states
and an electrostatic dipole contribute to reduced non-radiative
recombination and potentially improved energy level alignment
to the ETM, which is distinctively different from earlier stud-
ies. Moreover, we use CLIMAT measurements to further under-
stand the PI’s effect on charge transport by separately resolving
and quantifying electron and hole charge transport properties
under varying illumination conditions. These measurements re-
vealed that the PI modification significantly increased the steady-
state carrier lifetime and diffusion length compared to the ref-
erence samples. We devised a model to simulate charge trans-
port, which suggested that the PI treatment decreases the de-
fect concentration and thus leads to better charge transport and a
boostinPCE.ArecordVOC of 1.36 V of WBG-PSCs was achieved
with 20% PCE after PI modification. Combining this superior
WBG-PSCs with a narrow bandgap perovskite for monolithic all-
perovskite tandems, we achieved certified PCEs of 27.5% and
27.2% from J–V scans and MPP tracking, respectively. Encapsu-
lated tandem cells sustained >88% of the initial efficiency after
264 h of continuous MPP tracking in air. To estimate the PCE
potential, intensity-dependent absolute photoluminescence mea-
surements were performed and demonstrated that our tandem
design can potentially achieve >30% PCE. Overall, our study pro-
vides important scientific insights to accelerate the development
toward commercialization of this technology.
