Planar-heterojunction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have experienced rapid evolution in recent years because of the low-temperature processing, suitable alignment, and high mobility of the tin oxide buried contact layer. However, improper SnO 2 surface states and poor crystallinity of the top perovskite films are still the main obstacles for the planar PSCs in which performance always lags behind their mesoporous counterparts. Herein, a new buried contact is reported by introducing graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) into the commonly used SnO 2 which performs outstanding transmittance, conductivity, and surface states for a high-quality electron-transporting layer. Moreover, the vertical composition and crystallinity of the top perovskite film are manipulated by rich amino groups on the edge of the g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets which induce the prenucleation of the lead-rich species at the buried interface. Benefiting from the high-quality buried contacts and the optimized perovskite layers, the resultant PSCs achieve a champion efficiency of 21.5% with all photovoltaic parameters enhanced in comparison with their control counterparts (<20%).
