Abstract
AbstractSuffering from sluggish charge transfer kinetics, carbon‐based perovskite solar cells (C‐PSCs) lag far behind the Ag/Au‐based normal PSCs in power conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, the use of defective multi‐walled CNT (D‐MWCNT) is demonstrated to tune the charge transfer kinetics regarding hole transport layer (HTL) and the interface between HTL and carbon electrode. Benefiting from the electrostatic dipole moment interaction between the terminal oxygen‐containing groups of D‐MWCNT and 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrakis(N,N‐di‐p‐methoxyphenylamine)‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene, an interface coupling at molecular level is established and in turn, allows rapid charge transfer by edge effect induced electron redistribution and 1D hyper‐channels. Meanwhile, a seamless connection between HTL and carbon electrode is achieved in a novel modular C‐PSCs due to D‐MWCNT induced interface coupling with graphene at nanometer scale. Based on this strategy, high PCEs up to 22.07% (with a certified record PCE of 21.9% to date for C‐PSCs) and excellent operational stability have been achieved.
