Methodology
Three-Pronged Engineering Approach
A. Composition Engineering
- A-site cation substitution (MA, FA, Cs)
- Mixed halide (I, Br, Cl) optimization
- Goldschmidt tolerance factor tuning (0.8–1.0)
- Target: Cs₀.₀₅(MA₀.₁₅FA₀.₈₅)Pb(I₀.₈₅Br₀.₁₅)₃
B. Additive Engineering
- Bulky/long-chain organic cation additives
- Passivation of multiple trap states
- Suppression of ion migration
- 2D/3D perovskite hybrid structures
C. Interface Engineering
- Surface defect passivation (PDMAI, PEAI)
- Band offset alignment optimization
- ETL/HTL interface quality improvement
- Carbon electrode interface enhancement
