Polymer/crosslinker protection
While the strategic deployment of targeted functional groups successfully mitigates localized interfacial
defects through strong chemical coordination, these discrete small-molecule modifiers frequently encounter
intrinsic limitations in long-term mechanical stability and thermal robustness, as their isolated operation
across the boundary renders them susceptible to desorption or unwanted diffusion under continuous
operational stress. To address these limitations, current research has advanced toward incorporating
polymeric and crosslinking agents to construct protective architectures at the perovskite interfaces.
