A π-conjugated small molecule N, N'-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N, N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine (NPB) was introduced into poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a hole transport layer (HTL) in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The NPB doping induces a better perovskite crystal growth, resulting in perovskite with a larger grain size and less defect density. Thus, the VOC, JSC, and FF of the PSC were all enhanced. Experimental results show that it can be ascribed to the reduction of surface roughness and improved hydrophilicity of the HTL. The effect of NPB on the aggregation of PVK was also discussed. This work demonstrates the great potential of PVK as the HTL of PSCs and provides an attractive alternative for HTL to realize high-efficiency PSCs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
