Abstract

Abstract Wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskite sub‐cells in all‐perovskite tandem solar cells (AP‐TSCs) suffer from severe open‐circuit voltage loss and poor light stability. The formation of 3D/2D or 3D/quasi‐2D perovskite heterojunctions can effectively passivate interface defects and optimize energy level alignments at the 3D perovskite/C 60 interface, thereby enhancing both the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Herein, a combined evaporation/solution technique is employed to construct Dion‐Jacobson (DJ) 2D or quasi‐2D perovskites with uniform‐phase distribution on wide‐bandgap 3D perovskite substrates. By tuning the n values of the DJ phase perovskites, well‐refined WBG 3D/2D or quasi‐2D perovskite heterostructures are achieved, which exhibit tunable energy levels and mitigate the non‐radiative recombination losses at the WBG 3D perovskite/C 60 interface. The devices with the WBG (1.78 eV) 3D/quasi‐2D n = 3 perovskite heterostructures achieve the champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.71% (certified 20.53%). When combined with narrow‐bandgap (NBG) perovskite sub‐cells, the fabricated 2‐terminal AP‐TSCs achieve a PCE of 28.99% (certified 28.81%). The tandem device maintains 80% of its initial PCE after 501 h of operation at maximum power point.
