Halogen-Bonded Hole-Transport Material Suppresses Charge Recombination and Enhances Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells

Laura Canil et al.

Summary: This study investigates the advantages of using a hole-transport material (HTM) that can anchor to the perovskite surface through halogen bonding (XB) to improve the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The interaction between the halogen-functionalized HTM and perovskite is supported by simulations and experiments, leading to an improved interface and energy level alignment. The compact and ordered interface enhances resistance to solvent exposure, suppresses nonradiative recombination, reduces hysteresis, and results in a remarkable stability of the PSCs.
