Abstract:
The hole transport materials that interact with the indium tin oxide (ITO) surface can be processed into monomolecular layers (MLs), which often exhibit different surface and electronic properties than their thin‐film counterparts. Herein, it is found that poly[bis(4‐phenyl)(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA) films (R‐PTAA) can be easily processed into ML (M‐PTAA) due to the van der Waals interaction between ITO and PTAA. However, compared with R‐PTAA, the work function (WF) and conductivity of M‐PTAA are simultaneously reduced by the charge transfer at the ITO/PTAA interface. To address this issue, a modified monomolecular layer strategy (m‐MLS) is developed, where a small amount of 2,3,5,6‐tetrafluoro‐7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) is introduced to enhance the interaction force between ITO and PTAA. PTAA treated by m‐MLS (F‐PTAA) has a hydrophilic physical surface, closely matching electronic energy level with the perovskite layer and smaller bulk resistance. As a result, the efficiency and reproducibility of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are substantially improved. PSCs based on F‐PTAA demonstrated the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.7% with a fill factor of over 80%. This study inspires the development of novel interface modification materials, and provides a simple and convenient direction for the fabrication of high‐performance and reproducible inverted PSCs with high fill factors.
