摘要

The development of molecular engineering has substantially increased the power conversion efficiency of inverted p-i-n perovskite solar cells (PSCs) over the past five years, surpassing that of regular n-i-p PSCs. The strategic design of symmetric molecules to alleviate steric hindrance, thereby facilitating long-range-ordered ππ stacking on substrates, offers an effective approach for enhancing the structural organization in molecular self-assembly. Here we synthesize an axially symmetric molecule with homogeneous electron delocalization, (2-(pyren-2-yl)ethyl)phosphonic acid (pPy), which can form a long-range-ordered ππ stacking assembly on indium tin oxide substrates. Additionally, the pPy thin film demonstrates an intense and integrated Debye–Scherrer ring at q = 0.27 Å−1 with a highly ordered face-on orientation and displays more spatial uniform distribution, which effectively facilitates charge transport. The as-fabricated pPy-based PSCs achieve a power conversion efficiency of 26.6% and maintain 94% of the initial efficiency after 3,000 h of continuous simulated solar illumination following the ISOS-L-1I protocol.
