Here, zinc cations(Zn^2+) were used as a dopant to passivate defects of the CsPbI2Br perovskite leading to Zn^2+-doped CsPbI2Br film with fewer trap states, improved charge transportation, and enhanced light-harvesting ability. Thus, the best-performance PVSC based on CsPbI2 Br with the optimal Zn^2+doping shows a higher PCE of 12.16% with a larger open-circuit voltage(VOC) of 1.236 V, an improved shortcircuit current(JSC) of 15.61 mA cm^-2 in comparison with the control device based on the pure CsPbI2Br which exhibits a PCE of 10.21% with a VOCof 1.123 V, a JSCof 13.27 mA cm^-2. Time-resolved photoluminescence results show that the Zn^2+doping leads to perovskite film with extended photoluminescence lifetime which means a longer diffusion length and subsequently enhanced photocurrent and open circuit voltage. This work provides a simple strategy to boost the performance of PVSCs through Zn^2+doping.展开更多
