Enhanced Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells through Corrosion-Free Pyridine Derivatives in Hole-Transporting Materials.

ABSTRACT

The molecular structure of pyridine derivatives is critical to perovskite solar cell performance, especially stability. Most of the pyridine additives easily form complexes with perovskite. A new pyridine additive with a long alkyl chain substituted at its o-position does not corrode perovskite. The stability of devices containing this additive is the highest among the investigated cells.
