Article Abstract
Controlling the perovskite morphology and defects at the buried perovskite-substrate interface is challenging for inverted perovskite solar cells. In this work, we report an amphiphilic molecular hole transporter, (2-(4-(bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)phenyl)-1-cyanovinyl)phosphonic acid, that features a multifunctional cyanovinyl phosphonic acid group and forms a superwetting underlayer for perovskite deposition, which enables high-quality perovskite films with minimized defects at the buried interface. The resulting perovskite film has a photoluminescence quantum yield of 17% and a Shockley-Read-Hall lifetime of nearly 7 microseconds and achieved a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.4% with an open-circuit voltage of 1.21 volts and a fill factor of 84.7%. In addition, 1-square centimeter cells and 10-square centimeter minimodules show PCEs of 23.4 and 22.0%, respectively. Encapsulated modules exhibited high stability under both operational and damp heat test conditions.

NiO is a p-type semiconductor widely used as a hole transport material in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), yet the impact of fabrication methods on its interfacial properties and the underlying mechanisms remains unclear. This study investigates how the fabrication process─nanoparticle precursor (NP NiO) and sputtering deposition (SP NiO)─and interfacial space charge effects influence charge transport and device performance in NiO/perovskite systems. SP NiO exhibits a higher Ni/Ni ratio and greater conductivity but induces significant hole depletion and band bending at the interface, leading to reduced open-circuit voltage and efficiency.

This study presents a systematic analysis of the impact of polymer hole transport layers (HTLs) in inverted MAPbI perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Devices were fully fabricated under regular atmospheric conditions (≈40% humidity) and low temperature (100 °C) by using Field's Metal (FM) as an alternative top electrode. The widely known π-conjugated polymers P3HT, PTB7-Th, PBDB-T, and MEH-PPV were used as HTLs, and all of them show suitable energy alignment to MAPbI, offering good moisture stability, solution processability, low cost, and attractiveness for large area and flexible PSCs.

Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) hold promise for next-generation photovoltaics but are restricted by suboptimal efficiency and poor long-term stability. In inverted PSC architectures, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely employed as hole-selective layers (HSLs) due to their favorable energy-level alignment and negligible parasitic absorption. However, traditional SAMs often exhibit weak intermolecular interactions, leading to film aggregation, poor interfacial contact, and severe nonradiative recombination.

A new, readily accessible inorganic hole transporting material (HTM), Cu doped SnCoO (Cu-SCO), is developed for inverted tin-perovskite solar modules (TPSMs). To overcome the intrinsic defect of inorganic solid-state material Cu-SCO and potential interfacial incompatibility with TPsk, an amphiphilic neutral donor-acceptor copolymer (PTSN) is rationally designed as a surface/interface modification agent. TPSMs based on Cu doped SnCoO HTLs integrated with PTSN surface/interface modification achieved the highest conversion efficiency of 10.

The uncontrolled rapid crystallization inherent in one-step solution process for perovskite films preparation often results in poor crystalline quality and compromised stability, presenting a major obstacle to achieving high-performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs). To overcome this challenge, we propose a multifunctional additive strategy employing Sulfalene (SL), a sulfonyl-based molecule with dual π-conjugated rings, to precisely regulate crystallization dynamics and produce a high-quality crystalline perovskite film. Experimental results show that the electron-rich oxygen atoms in SL form robust coordination bonds with undercoordinated Pb, effectively modulating crystallization dynamics and extending the crystallization process.
