Abstract
Incorporating non-aqueous hole-transporting materials (HTMs) to replace the widely used PEDOT:PSS is favorable for improving the stability of tin-lead perovskite solar cells (Sn-Pb PSCs). Herein, hexaazatrinaphthylene (HATNA) is found to be a promising HTM building block for Sn-Pb PSCs. By introducing triphenylamine (TPA) and methoxy-triphenylamine into the HATNA core, molecular energy levels and surface wettability can be well regulated, and a high hole mobility and thermal stability can be maintained. Moreover, a homogeneous Sn-Pb perovskite film with low Sn4+ contents and vertically orientated grains can be prepared on the substrate TPA-HATNA. Compared with PEDOT:PSS, the optimal TPA-HATNA-based methylammonium-free device enables a 70 mV increase in VOC, delivering a remarkable PCE exceeding 18% (certified 16.4%). Impressively, the TPA-HATNA-based devices without encapsulation retain 90% efficiency after aging for 600 min under maximum-power-point tracking. Our work provides alternative HTMs for boosting the performance of Sn-Pb PSCs.
