The challenge is to improve UV stability without sacrificing efficiency. Here, we demonstrate the reduction of UV light-related negative effects from the perspective of spectral modification. By simultaneously introducing UV–visible downshifting and light trapping, perovskite solar cells can achieve a comparable efficiency of over 21% to that of an unmodified device. The optimized device obtains increased UV stability due to UV–visible downshifting. Different from other strategies, spectral modification externally alters the composition of incident light and improves UV stability without changing the internal device architecture, which is broadly applicable to perovskite solar cells with different structures. The present work may also find applications in other types of solar cells to boost the stability of devices exposed to UV light.展开更多
