Abstract

A π-conjugated small molecule N,N′-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N’+-bis(phenyl)benzidine (NPB) is introduced into a poly (bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine) (PTAA) hole transport layer in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The NPB doping induces better perovskite crystal growth owing to a str...
