Herein, a cross-linkable small molecule of 2-mercaptoimidazole(2-MI) was introduced into the nickel oxide(NiO_(x))/2D perovskite interface. Experiments have confirmed the formation of Ni-N covalent bond by N atom in the 2-MI and Ni in the NiO_(x) and the coordinating between S atom of 2-MI and under-coordinated Pb^(2+) near to the NiO_(x)/perovskite interface, which contributes to creating a crosslinking between NiO_(x)/perovskite interface to restrain charge carrier recombination and enhance the extraction of hole carriers at the interface. Besides, the 2-MI modification layer is also beneficial for promoting the crystallinity of 2D perovskite. Consequently, the inverted 2D PSCs with 2-MI modification achieved the best power conversion efficiency of 15%. This paves a route to acquire highly efficient 2D PSCs by constructing a cross-linking at the NiO_(x)HTL/2D perovskite interface.展开更多
