Phase‐Pure 2D Interfacial Perovskite Passivation for Stable and Efficient Photovoltaics

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Phase‐pure 2D interfacial passivation eliminates mixed‐phase energetic disorder, establishes favorable band alignment, and suppresses interfacial non‐radiative recombination. This review elucidates deterministic phase‐purity control, defect and lattice reconstruction mechanisms, and scalable manufacturing strategies, highlighting how phase‐pure 2D/3D ...
