Article Abstract
PSS is one of the most widely used hole transport materials in tin-based perovskite solar cells. However, the acid residues in PEDOT:PSS cause chemical/physical reactions with the ITO electrode. In this study, we utilized [2-(3,6-dimethoxy-9-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl]phosphonic acid (MeO-2PACz) and [4-(3,6-dimethyl-9-carbazol-9-yl)butyl] phosphonic acid (Me-4PACz) as buffer layers between PEDOT:PSS and ITO. The charge carrier transport ability of the SAM/PEDOT:PSS layer was significantly improved compared to that of the pure PEDOT:PSS layer. With SAM/PEDOT:PSS as the bottom layer, the tin-based perovskite films showed an improved morphology, suppressed Sn/Sn oxidation, and a prolonged carrier lifetime; meanwhile, the perovskite film showed a reduced defect density, especially deep-level defect densities. Consequently, the champion tin-based devices achieved an increase in PCE from 5.7% (control device) to 7.3% (Me-4PACz/PEDOT:PSS device), while also retaining 80% of the initial PCE after 750 hours of storage in a N environment.

Ion adsorption at the solid-liquid interface of two-dimensional (2D) materials is ubiquitous and plays a pivotal role in interfacial physicochemical interactions. In practical applications, 2D materials are typically supported on solid substrates. Understanding the role of the supporting substrate is therefore critical for advancing our fundamental knowledge of interfacial interactions and downstream application success.

We show that the ground state of a weakly charged two-dimensional electron-hole fluid in a strong magnetic field is a broken translation symmetry state with interpenetrating lattices of localized vortices and antivortices in the electron-hole-pair field. The vortices and antivortices carry fractional charges of equal sign but unequal magnitude and have a honeycomb-lattice structure that contrasts with the triangular lattices of superconducting electron-electron-pair vortex lattices. We predict that increasing charge density or a weakening magnetic field drives a vortex delocalization transition that would be signaled experimentally by an abrupt increase in counterflow transport resistance.

Inverted quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) show great promise for next-generation displays due to their compatibility with integrated circuit architectures. However, their development has been hindered by inefficient exciton utilization and charge transport imbalance. Here, we present a strategy for regulating charge-exciton dynamics through the rational design of a multifunctional hole transport layer (HTL), incorporating polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE) as a protective interlayer in fully-solution-processed inverted red QLEDs.

This study presents a novel carbazole derivative functionalized with hydroxy diphosphonic acid groups (HDPACz) as an efficient annealing-free hole transport layer (HTL) through strong bidentate anchoring to indium tin oxide (ITO). Compared to conventional mono-phosphonic acid counterparts, HDPACz demonstrates superior ITO surface coverage and interfacial dipole, effectively modulating the work function of ITO. Theoretical calculations reveal enhanced adsorption energy (-3.

[1]Benzothieno[3,2-][1]benzothiophene (BTBT)-based molecules exhibit remarkably high hole mobility, sparking interest in their charge transport mechanisms. However, for thin films, the theoretically proposed mixed-orbital charge transport (MOCT) mechanism, which involves the hybridization of different frontier orbitals between neighboring molecules in the bulk, remains unexplored both experimentally and theoretically. In this study, we prepared a monolayer of 2,7-diphenyl-BTBT (DPh-BTBT) with a unique one-dimensional structure and investigated its molecular-level structure and electronic state.
