Abstract:
Herein three polymeric hole extraction materials (HEMs), poly(benzene‐dithiophene) (PB2T)‐O, PB2T‐S, and PB2T‐SO are presented for p–i–n perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). This study reveals that the perovskite device hysteresis and performance heavily rely on the perovskite grain boundary conditions. More specifically, they are predetermined through the molecular interaction between Lewis base atoms of HEMs and perovskites. It is revealed that only changing the side chain terminals (OCH 3 , SCH 3 , and SOCH 3 ) of HEMs results in effective modulating PVSC performance and hysteresis, due to the effective tune of interaction strength between HEM and perovskite. With an in situ grown perovskite‐HEM bulk heterojunction structure, PB2T‐O with weak binding group (OCH 3 , −78.9 kcal mol −1 bonding energy) to lead ions allows delivering hysteresis‐free and efficient devices, which is sharp contrast to the strong binding PB2T‐SO (−119.3 kcal mol −1 bonding energy). Overall, this work provides new insights on PVSC hysteresis and the related curing methods via multifunctional HEM design in PVSCs.
