Abstract

We report a highly crystalline self-assembled multilayer (SAMUL) that is fundamentally different from the conventional monolayer or disordered bilayer used for hole-extraction in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The SAMUL can be easily formed on ITO substrate to establish better surface coverage to enhance the performance and stability of PSCs. A detailed structure-property-performance relationship of molecules used for SAMUL is established through a systematic study of their crystallinity, molecular packing, and hole-transporting properties. These SAMULs are rationally optimized by varying their molecular structures and deposition methods through thermal evaporation or spin-coating for fabricating PSCs. The CbzNaphPPA-based SAMUL was chosen for fabricating inverted PSCs due to it exhibiting the highest crystallinity and hole mobility which is derived from the ordered H-aggregation. This resulted in a remarkably high fill factor of 86.45 %, which enables a very impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26.07 % to be achieved along with excellent device stability (94 % of its initial PCE retained after continuous operation for 1200 h under 1-sun irradiation at maximum power point at 65 °C). Additionally, a record-high PCE of 23.50 % could be achieved by adopting a thermally evaporated SAMUL. This greatly simplifies and broadens the scope for SAM to be used for large-area devices on diverse substrates. © 2024 The Authors.
