Although inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising in thermal stability, their large open-circuit voltage (VOC ) deficit and difficulty in large-area preparation still limit their development toward commercialization. The present work tailors C60 via a codoping strategy to construct an efficient electron-transporting layer (ETL), leading to a significant improvement in VOC of the inverted inorganic CsPbI2 Br PSC. Specifically, tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (TPFPB) is introduced as a dopant to lower the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of the C60 layer by forming a Lewis acidic adduct. The enlarged free energy difference provides a favorable enhancement in electron injection and thereby reduces charge recombination. Subsequently, a nonhygroscopic lithium salt (LiClO4 ) is added to increase electron mobility and conductivity of the film, leading to a reduction in the device hysteresis and facilitating the fabrication of a large-area device. Finally, the as-optimized inorganic CsPbI2 Br PSCs gain a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.19%, with a stabilized power output (SPO) of 14.21% (0.09 cm2 ). More importantly, this work also demonstrates a record PCE of 14.44% for large-area inorganic CsPbI2 Br PSCs (1.0 cm2 ) and reports the first inorganic perovskite solar module with the excellent efficiency exceeding 12% (10.92 cm2 ) by a self-developed quasi-curved heating method.© 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
