This study establishes a quantitative link between potential degradation—specifically open-circuit voltage (VOC) and quasi-Fermi level splitting (QFLS)—and the photo-thermal stability of PSCs. It is highlighted that an increase in non-radiative recombination losses induces the seemingly negligible decrease in VOC and QFLS, though it causes a significant decrease in fill factor (FF) and/or short circuit current (JSC) instead, leading to an overall performance decline. By combining non-destructive photoluminescence imaging and drift-diffusion simulations, it is revealed that during photo-thermal ageing, unstable low-dimensional passivation fails within tens of hours, generating bulk defects, while unstable hole-transport-layer contacts induce interface defects within hours. Building on these findings, a robust hole-transport-layer polymer interface is employed and enhanced perovskite crystal quality to suppress both interface and bulk defect generation during ageing, achieving a T80 lifetime exceeding 1000 h under accelerated ageing conditions (85 °C and two-sun illumination).}, cin = {IET-2}, ddc = {050}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IET-2-20140314}, pnm = {1213 - Cell Design and Development (POF4-121) / 1214 - Modules, stability, performance and specific applications (POF4-121)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-1213 / G:(DE-HGF)POF4-1214}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:001524906500001}, doi = {10.1002/aenm.202502787}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1044673}, }
