Aggregation‐induced Emission Materials for High‐efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells

The perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with high efficiency and stability are in great demand for commercial applications. Although the remarkable photovoltaic feature of perovskite layer plays a great role in improving the PCE of PSCs, the inevitable defects and poor stability of perovskite, etc. are the bottleneck and restrict the commercialization of PSCs. Herein, a review provides a strategy of applying aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) molecules, containing passivation functional groups and distinct AIE character, which serves as the alternative materials for fabricating high‐efficiency and high‐stability PSCs. The methods of introducing AIE molecules to PSCs are also summarized, including additive engineering, interfacial engineering, hole transport materials and so on. In addition, the functions of AIE molecule are discussed, such as defects passivation, morphology modulation, well‐matched energy level, enhanced stability, hole transport ability, carrier recombination suppression. Finally, the detailed functions of AIE molecules are offered and further research trend for high performance PSCs based on AIE materials is proposed. Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) molecules contain functional groups and distinct AIE character, which serves as the alternative materials for fabricating high‐efficiency and well‐stability PSCs. This review summarized the way of introducing AIE molecules to PSCs and the functions of AIE molecule. Finally, the conclusions are offered and further research trend for high performance PSCs based on AIE materials is proposed.
