Abstract
Chemically modifiable self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-based hole transport layers are crucial for achieving high-efficiency inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, designing molecular structures that simultaneously ensure strong binding affinity, interfacial stability, and optimized energy level alignment remains challenging. Here, we introduce TPA2P ((2-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-1-phosphonovinyl)phosphonic acid), a novel SAM material featuring a conjugated bisphosphonic acid anchoring group. This dual phosphonic acid configuration enhances substrate binding on indium tin oxide (ITO), improves SAM uniformity, and increases interfacial stability. Furthermore, the ethylene bridge facilitates efficient…
