P-i-n geometry perovskite solar cells (PSCs) offer simplified fabrication, greater amenability to charge extraction layers, and low-temperature processing over n-i-p counterparts. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can enhance the performance of p-i-n PSCs but ultrathin SAMs be thermally unstable. We report a robust hole-selective layer comprised nickel oxide (NiOx) nanoparticle film with surface-anchored (4-(3,11-dimethoxy-7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazol-7-yl)butyl)phosphonic acid (MeO-4PADBC) SAM...
Abstract Currently, the performance improvement for inverted perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) is mainly limited by high open circuit voltage ( V OC ) loss caused detrimental non‐radiative recombination (NRR) processes.

Abstract The commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) urgently requires the development green‐solvent processable dopant‐free hole transporting materials (HTMs). However, strong intermolecular interactions that ensure high mobility always compromise solubility and film‐forming ability in green solvents.

To date, most of the prevailing organic hole-transporting materials (HTMs) used in perovskite solar cells (PVSCs), such as spiro-OMeTAD and PTAA, generally require a sophisticated doping process to ensure their reasonable properties. Unfortunately, employed dopants/additives associated oxidation reactions have been shown deteriorate long-term device stability seriously. The exploitation efficient stable dopant-free HTMs is thus strongly desired for PVSCs. However, effective molecular design...
