## Description

- description: "In the past few years, significant work has been dedicated to developing
    novel perovskite materials and improving device structures, leading to an increase
    in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) from
    3.8% to over 27%.1,2 In the highly efficient PSCs, triple cation\r\nperovskites
    (CsFAMA) are primarily utilized due to their greater thermal and phase stability
    in comparison to single cation perovskites.3,4 The PSC features two types of configurations:
    the conventional (n-i-p) and inverted (p-i-n) structures. Currently, the PCE of
    PSCs in both n-i-p and p-i-n configurations is almost the same.5 Despite this,
    the rise in the popularity of the inverted structure PSCs has been growing due
    to their distinct benefits, such as processing at low temperatures, reduced hysteresis,
    enhanced stability, and compatibility with perovskite tandem solar cells.2,6−10
    The selection or design of the hole transport layer (HTL) is particularly important
    to the performance and stability of the inverted PSCs, since it greatly affects
    the quality of the perovskite film.7,11,12 Additionally, because it is located
    at the light incident side of this device architecture, it should be quite robust.
    In the inverted PSCs, various materials have been studied as an HTL, including
    nickel oxide (NiOx),13 selfassembled monolayers (SAMs),14 poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene)
    polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS),15 and poly [bis (4-phenyl) (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)
    amine] (PTAA).16 NiOx is being investigated as an HTL in inverted PSCs due to
    its wide band gap (3.6−4.0 eV), excellent hole mobility, low cost, and easy solution
    processability."
