Enlarging moment and regulating orientation of buried interfacial dipole for efficient inverted perovskite solar cells by Yang Peng, Yu Chen, Jing Zhou, Chuan Luo, Weijian Tang, Yuwei Duan, Yihui Wu, Qiang Peng

“…Herein, an interfacial dipolar chemical bridge strategy to address this issue is presented. 2-(Diphenylphosphino) acetic acid (2DPAA) is selected as the linker to reconstruct the interfacial dipole, which effectively enlarges the interfacial dipole moment to 5.10 D and optimizes to a positive dipole orientation, thereby accelerating vertical hole transport, suppressing nonradiative recombination and promoting the perovskite crystallization. The champion inverted device yields a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26.53% (certified 26.02%). …”
