Article Abstract
The MC-series porphyrins, incorporating a variety of thiophene- and dithiophene-containing donor groups, offer an effective passivation strategy to eliminate Sn defects on the surface of tin perovskite. Additionally, the C(15) position of the porphyrin core is linked to various electron-accepting groups, such as 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, 4-(2,3-diphenylquinoxalin-5-yl)benzoic acid and an indacenodithiophene unit connected to carboxylic acid or cyanoacrylic acid. These groups act as self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates for tin-based perovskite solar cells (TPSCs). This study is the first example to report the use of porphyrin as SAM for TPSCs. In the presence of SAMs, the devices achieved efficiencies in the following order: MC-4 (8.65%) > MC-3 (6.19%) > MC-2 (5.06%) > MC-1 (5.03%). The outstanding performance of the MC-4 device is attributed to its retarded charge recombination, increased hole mobility, and superior hole-extraction capability. This approach offers a promising pathway for further developing porphyrin-based TPSCs.

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.

Bifunctional integration of indoor organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and photodetectors (OPDs) faces fundamental challenges because of incompatible interfacial thermodynamics: indoor OPVs require unimpeded charge extraction under low-light conditions (200-1000 lx), whereas OPDs require stringent suppression of noise current. Conventional hole transport layers (HTLs) fail to satisfy these opposing charge-dynamic requirements concurrently with commercial practicality (large-area uniformity, photostability, and cost-effective manufacturability). This study introduces benzene-phosphonic acid (BPA)-a minimalist self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-based HTL with a benzene core and phosphonic acid anchoring group-enabling cost-effective synthesis and excellent ITO interfacial properties such as energy alignment, uniform monolayer, and stability.

Silatranization, a specialized variant of silanization using silatrane compounds, is emerging as a powerful strategy to functionalize material surfaces. Compared to conventional silane coupling agents, silatranes exhibit remarkable hydrolytic stability and enhanced resistance to self-condensation, enabling controllable, water-independent formation of a polysiloxane self-assembled monolayer. This review critically examines the unique structure of silatranyl cages, emphasizing how the intramolecular N->Si bond and chelate effect modulate the silicon center's reactivity toward hydroxyl-decorated surfaces.

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.
