초록

Vapor-assisted hybrid two-step deposition, which combines thermally evaporated inorganic layers with solution-processed organic halides to form halide perovskites, has emerged as a scalable and industry-compatible route for textured tandem photovoltaics. However, this process is often hindered by reaction-limited phase formation, particularly when compact, non-porous, and highly crystalline inorganic layers formed by thermal evaporation restrict subsequent conversion, resulting in incomplete reaction and pronounced depth-dependent heterogeneity. In this study, we introduce a strategy to regulate the inorganic precursor layer by incorporating localized heterogeneous nucleation sites. Sparsely distributed hydrophilic metal oxide species serve as effective nucleation centers during vapor deposition, enabling effective control over film morphology and crystal orientation from the early stages of growth. This tailored inorganic framework facilitates the subsequent incorporation of organic halides, alleviating reaction limitations and suppressing residual unreacted precursors. Consequently, the perovskite films exhibit improved stoichiometric uniformity and enhanced optoelectronic quality, enabling wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells with markedly improved performance and operational stability. This work provides important mechanistic insight into crystal growth engineering of vapor-deposited perovskite thin films.
