Repairing Interfacial Defects in Self-Assembled Monolayers for High-Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells and Organic Photovoltaics through the SAM@Pseudo-Planar Monolayer Strategy.

ABSTRACT: Lately, carbazole-based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely employed as effective hole-selective layers (HSLs) in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Nevertheless, these SAMs tend to aggregate in solvents due to their amphiphilic nature, hindering the formation of a monolayer on the ITO substrate and impeding effective passivation of deep defects in the perovskites. In this study, a series of new SAMs including DPA-B-PY, CBZ-B-PY, POZ-B-PY, POZ-PY, POZ-T-PY, and POZ-BT-PY are synthesized, which are employed as interfacial repairers and coated atop CNph SAM to form a robust CNph SAM@pseudo-planar monolayer as HSL in efficient inverted PSCs. The CNph SAM@pseudo-planar monolayer strategy enables a well-aligned interface with perovskites, synergistically promoting perovskite crysta
