Abstract [4‐(3,6‐dimethyl‐9H‐carbazol‐9‐yl)butyl]phosphonic acid (Me‐4PACz) consistently exhibits inhomogeneous distribution on the substrate, which makes it a challenge for growth of high‐quality perovskite film, resulting in undesired interfacial losses at buried interfaces. Moreover, flexible alkyl chains Me‐4PACz are not conducive to intermolecular interactions and hinder charge flow. Here, novel molecule with 4‐Methoxy‐N‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐N‐phenylaniline (TPA) carbazole backbone, named CzTPA is designed, constituted Co‐SAM Me‐4PACz.

Abstract Self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs), particularly those molecules composed of carbazole and phosphonic acid, are widely employed as effective hole‐selective layer (HSL) in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the insufficient chemical bond formation with metal oxides (ITO) self‐aggregation solvents acid SAM led to non‐uniform HSL, which turn affect power conversion efficiency (PCE) stability PSCs. Herein, a series benzoic materials (BAs), including p‐fluorobenzoic (FBA) p‐methylbenzoic (MBA), used post‐assembly effectively fill voids between [4‐(3,6‐dimethyl‐9H‐carbazole‐9‐yl)butyl]phosphonic (Me‐4PACz) form denser facilitates passivation buried interface. In addition, post‐assembled BAs different dipole moments can adjust work function Me‐4PACz facilitating transport extraction charge carriers. Consequently, PSCs based on Me‐4PACz/FBA HSL realize champion PCE 25.58%. Moreover, unencapsulated devices maintain 82% 94% after 800 h outdoor storage (RH≈60%) 2000 glove box, respectively.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of inverted lead-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) via vapor deposition has undergone significant enhancement through the incorporation a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) serving as hole transport layer. To achieve high-performance PSCs, SAM layer needs to maintain dense and high-coverage configuration during fabrication process. Our investigation revealed that solid-vapor reaction, conditions high temperature low pressure can potentially lead migration molecules, particularly those adsorbed on surface but have not yet formed covalent bonds. In this study, overcome limitation, we developed an impregnation process for mixed molecules with (4-(7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazol-7-yl)butyl)phosphonic acid (4PADCB) glycine hydrochloride (GH), which reduces agglomeration enhances their strong anchoring ability substrate, thereby maintaining extremely coverage rate even in high-temperature low-pressure environment reactions. Consequently, champion efficiencies 22.15% (0.16 cm2) 19.18% (5 cm × 5 module) are achieved, is highest record PSCs based deposition. Moreover, advantages reusability, good uniformity, cost, very broad commercial prospects.

The inhomogeneity of hole-selective self-assembled molecular layers (SAMLs) often arises from the insufficient bonding between anchors and metal oxide, particularly on textured silicon surfaces when fabricating monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (P/S-TSCs) hydrophobic carbazole complicates fabrication high-quality perovskite films. To address this, we developed a novel bidentate-anchored superwetting aromatic SAM based an upside-down core as layer (HSL), denoted ((9H-carbazole-3,6-diyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(phosphonic acid) (2PhPA-CzH). bisphosphonate-anchored exhibited enhanced adsorption capabilities efficient hole extraction/transport, reversely substituted ring contributed friendly super wetting underlayer that enabled films with minimized energetic mismatches, which 2PhPA-CzH played pivotal role in dual interfacial energy regulation.
