Abstract Hole‐transporting materials (HTMs) play an important role in transporting photogenerated holes, tuning the perovskite crystallization process, and passivating uncoordinated Pb 2+ defects for high‐performance inverted solar cells (PSCs). Herein, a unique cost‐effective small molecule‐type HTM based on triarylamine core bearing chloro‐assisted chelating moiety (named TPA‐CAA) is synthesized, which has excellent affinity to precursor solution leading smooth uniform films. In comparison with structurally similar molecule TPA‐AA absence of chloro‐substituent, TPA‐CAA can form chelate structure via carbonyl adjacent chloro‐atom, efficiently tunes crystallization, passivates defects, enhances hole at perovskite/HTL interface. Eventually, TPA‐CAA‐based PSC achieves champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) 21.56% (19.64% 18.84% poly[bis(4‐phenyl)(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA) ones, respectively) high open‐circuit voltage ( V OC ) 1.113 V. Moreover, stability device notably improved, PCE maintains over 80% its initial value 1000 h storage ambient air (25 °C, relative humidity 30–40%) without encapsulation, that PTAA (only 50% left h).

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 that improve stabilize NiOx/perovskite interface. The energetic alignment favorable contact binding between NiOx/MeO-4PADBC reduced voltage deficit various compositions led strong interface toughening effects under thermal stress. resulting 1.53-electron-volt devices achieved 25.6% certified power conversion efficiency maintained >90% their initial after continuously operating at 65 degrees Celsius for 1200 hours 1-sun illumination.
