Abstract:
The migration and volatilization of cations under environmental stress seriously affect the stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), hindering their large-scale deployment. In this study, a novel strategy of moisture-triggered in situ polymerization is first proposed for enhancing PSCs stability. Ethyl α-cyanoacrylate monomers are introduced into the perovskite layer, and the anionic polymerization is rapidly triggered by the moisture, forming a dense poly(ethyl α-cyanoacrylate) (PECA) layer that encapsulates grain boundaries. This effectively suppresses cation volatilization and mitigates defects at grain boundaries. As a result, PECA-encapsulated PSCs achieve a PCE of 24.12 %, maintaining exceptional phase stability during the photothermal aging tests. Unencapsulated devices retain over 90 % of their initial efficiency after 2000 h in the air. Thus, such a multifunctional internal encapsulation strategy can hold great potential for the development of environmentally stable PSCs. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
