Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have displayed unpredictable potential in efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Yet most of SAMs are largely suitable for pure Pb-based devices, precisely developing promising hole-selective contacts (HSCs) Sn-based PSCs and exploring the underlying general mechanism fundamentally desired. Here, based on prototypical donor-acceptor SAM MPA-BT-BA (BT), oligoether side chains with different length (i.e., methoxy, 2-methoxyethoxy, 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy group) were custom-introduced benzothiadiazole unit to produce target acronyms MPA-MBT-BA (MBT), MPA-EBT-BA (EBT), MPA-MEBT-BA (MEBT), respectively, acting as HSCs Sn-Pb all-perovskite tandems. The introduction enables effectively accelerate hole extraction, regulate crystal growth passivate surface defects perovskites. In particular, benefiting from enhanced film quality suppressed interfacial non-radiative recombination losses, EBT-tailored LBG devices yield a champion efficiency 23.54%, enabling 28.61% monolithic tandems an impressive VOC 2.155 V excellent operational stability well 28.22%-efficiency 4-T development is highly desirable. authors report self-assembled achieve operationally stable

Abstract Inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a current research hotspot due to their advantages such as low‐temperature preparation, low hysteresis, and compatibility with stacked other cells. NiO x , metal oxide hole transport layer material, is widely used in inverted PSCs. However, challenges high defect density, intrinsic conductivity, unfavorable valence band mismatch at the /perovskite interface hinder further improvement of device performance. Therefore, enhancing buried between layers crucial for optimizing This review systematically categorizes materials based on types, including organic small molecules, self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs), polymers, salts.

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. This technique enhances both device, blazing simple pathway for further development

Inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved great development, contributed by the advance of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) hole-transporting layers (HTLs) due to their distinctive molecular designability. However, SAM HTLs still present challenges achieving a compact and ordered surface, resulting in vacancies defects at interface as well adversely affecting growth perovskites. In this work, we propose micromolecule postdeposition process design HTL form high-quality perovskites achieve highly efficient inverted PSCs. We introduce etidronic acid (EA) fill reduce improve growing The EA can anchor substrate through P-OH anchors, occupying left MeO-4PACz, simultaneously create interaction with P═O C-OH functional groups. effectively fills reduces interface, passivates perovskites, facilitates carrier transport. Consequently, champion PCE 24.42% is for target PSCs, which much higher than efficiency (20.08%) control. This research provides guided widely applicable strategy development further advances performance

Abstract Semi‐transparent perovskite solar cells (STPSCs) have shown great potential in Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPVs). Inverted STPSCs with nickel oxide (NiO x ) hole transport layer are preferred for BIPVs due to their excellent stability and transparency. However, performance is limited poor NiO /perovskite interface leading non‐radiative recombination degradation. Here, the study uses different fluorinated benzoic acids viz. 4‐fluorobenzoic acid, 3,4‐di‐fluorobenzoic 3,4,5‐tri‐fluorobenzoic improve effect of fluorine substitution on acid. Chemical interaction between these molecules can remove hydroxyl groups from surface, mitigating defect states which results reduced recombination. modified acid demonstrate a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) 15.12% an average visible transmittance (AVT) ≈30%. Modified unencapsulated device maintains 90% its initial PCE after 1500 hours, stored 30–35% humidity, demonstrating superior stability. This emphasizes role buried interfacial passivation development building facades, windows, or skylights.

Abstract Self‐assembled monolayers (SAM) as hole transport layers have been widely used in high‐efficiency inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) exceeded 26 %. However, the poor coverage and non‐uniform distribution on substrate of SAM further restrict improvement device performance. Herein, we utilize mixed strategy via MeO‐2PACz along with perfluorotripropylamine (FC‐3283) to improve coverage, aiming accelerate carrier transport, promote growth, regulate surface energy levels suppress nonradiative recombination. The champion mixed‐SAM achieves an efficiency 25.70 % (certified 25.6 %) long‐term stability (maintained initial 90 after 1000 h 180 under ISOS‐L‐1 ISOS‐L‐2).
