摘要

Carbon-based hole transport layer-free (HTL-free) printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (p-MPSCs) are highly attractive for their low-cost and scalable fabrication. However, the intrinsically n-type nature of the perovskite, combined with the lack of an HTL, severely impedes hole extraction and limits device performance. In this work, we innovatively introduce a polymer with strong electron-withdrawing capability as an additive into p-MPSCs. Owing to its large molecular size, this polymer spontaneously forms a negative gradient distribution from top to bottom within the mesoporous scaffold during fabrication. This distribution creates a favorable gradient p-doping profile within p-MPSCs, which facilitates more efficient hole transport, a finding corroborated by combined device simulation and cross-sectional photoluminescence mapping. Consequently, the optimized p-MPSCs exhibit an average open-circuit voltage enhancement of over 50 mV, a steady-state power conversion efficiency of 21.56% and operational stability exceeding 1500 h at 55 °C under simulated 1-sun illumination using a halogen lamp without a UV filter.
