The bottom interface between perovskite and electron-transporting layer is critical for realizing efficient flexible perovskite solar cells. Here, the authors intercalate liquid crystal elastomer interlayer for aligned mesogenic assembly and achieve maximum efficiency of 23.26% with T 80 over 1570 h.
