Dimethyl Sulfoxide Mixed-Solvent Engineering for Efficient Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cell by Haifeng Zhang, Youling He, Qian Li, Hao Zhang, Yinqing Sun, Tengteng Yang, Yinyi Ma, Tian Yang, Xindi Zheng, Lin Mao

“…The CPCL hinders the diffusion of organic salts into the bottom precursor layer, leading to performance degradation and accelerated device aging. Herein, this study explores several polar solvents as additives to n-butanol (nBA) solvent in order to enhance the permeability of organic salts through the CPCL, and we demonstrate that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an additive solvent can effectively assist organic salts in rapidly diffusing through the precursor layer, thereby promoting the complete transformation of uniform perovskite crystals. …”
