Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are commonly employed as hole-selective layers in inverted perovskite solar cells. However, the widely used Me-4PACz (Me4) often faces issues such as solution aggregation, poor precursor wettability, insufficient interfacial contact, and suboptimal crystallinity at the perovskite buried interface, leading to non-radiative losses. This study proposes two newly designed donor-acceptor (D-A) SAMs, LYS-H and its fluorinated derivative LYS-F, and employs a co-assembly strategy with Me4 to overcome these limitations. The D-A structure enhances interfacial dipole moments to facilitate hole extraction, while distinct functional groups enable effective passivation at the perovskite buried interface. Additionally, the multi-directional phenyl rings of the triphenylamine (TPA) group in LYS-H and LYS-F can interact with the carbazole units of Me4 via π–π stacking. This interaction helps suppress Me4 aggregation and enhances the uniformity of SAM. This approach simultaneously improves precursor wettability and promotes enhanced perovskite crystallinity. Compared to LYS-H, fluorination of LYS-F deepens its highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and increases its effective work function, enabling better alignment with the perovskite valence band. The Me4+LYS-F-based device demonstrates superior interfacial energy level alignment and reduced interface defects, ultimately achieving a power conversion efficiency of 25.02% and a high fill factor of 83.64%. Furthermore, both unencapsulated Me4+LYS-H and Me4+LYS-F devices demonstrate substantially improved operational stability compared to the pristine Me4 device, when measured in air (RH ≈ 30%) under dark conditions at 25 oC.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
