Abstract

The employment of self-assembled molecular hybrid could improve buried interface in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the interplay among hybrid self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) during the deposition process has not been well-studied. Herein, we study the interaction between co-adsorbents and commonly used SAM material, [4-(3,6-dimethyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)butyl]phosphonic acid (Me-4PACz) for wide-bandgap (WBG) PSCs. It is found that the co-adsorbent, 6-aminohexane-1-sulfonic acid (SA) tends to fill the uncovered sites without interference with Me-4PACz, ensuring the formation of a dense hole selective layer. Moreover, the use of SA/Me-4PACz mixed SAMs could effectively reduce the interfacial non-radiative…
