Abstract

AbstractElectron transporting materials (ETMs) play vital roles in determining the efficiency and stability of inverted perovskite solar cells. The widely used PCBM is prone to undesirable aggregation and migration in a cell, thus impairing device stability. In this work, we develop a new type of ETMs by polymerizing C60 fullerene with an aromantic linker unit. The resultant polyfullerene (PFBS‐C12) not only maintains the good optoelectronic properties of fullerenes, but also can address the aforementioned aggregation problem of PCBM. The polyfullerene‐based blade‐coated cells exhibit a high efficiency of 23.2 % and good device stability that maintain 96 % of initial efficiency after >1300‐hour light soaking. An aperture efficiency of 18.9 % is also achieved on a 53.6‐cm2 perovskite mini‐module. This work provides a new strategy for designing ETMs that retain the key figure‐of‐merits of conventional fullerene molecules and enable more stable perovskite solar devices simultaneously.
