Popis: Molecular doping is an of significance approach to reduce defects density of perovskite and to improve interfacial charge extraction in perovskite solar cells. Here, we show a new strategy for chemical doping of perovskite via an organic small molecule, which features a fused tricyclic core, showing strong intermolecular π-Pb 2+ interactions with under-coordinated Pb 2+ in perovskite. This π-Pb 2+ interactions could reduce defects density of the perovskite and suppress the nonradiative recombination, which was also confirmed by the density functional theory calculations. In addition, this doping via π-Pb 2+ interactions could deepen the surface potential and downshift the work function of the doped perovskite film, facilitating the hole extraction to hole transport layer. As a result, the doped device showed excellent efficiency of 21.41% with ignorable hysteresis. This strategy of fused tricyclic core-based doping provides a new perspective for the design of new organic materials to improve the device performance.
