All-perovskite tandem solar cells (TSCs) hold the promise of surpassing the efficiency limits of single-junction solar cells. However, enhancing TSC efficiency faces the challenge of significant open-circuit voltage (VOC) loss in the wide-bandgap (WBG) subcell. In this study, we employed a bromine-s...
