The Dual Use of SAM Molecules for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) hold significant promise as the next‐generation materials in photovoltaic markets, owing to their ability to achieve impressive power conversion efficiencies, streamlined fabrication processes, cost‐effective manufacturing, and numerous other advantages. The utilization of self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) molecules has proven to be a significant success in enhancing device efficiency and extending device stability. This review highlights the dual use of SAM molecules in the realm of PSCs, which can not only serve as charge transport materials but also act as interfacial modulators. These research endeavors encompass a wide range of applications for various SAM molecules in both n‐i‐p and p‐i‐n structured PSCs, providing a deep insight into the underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, this review proposes current research challenges for future investigations into SAM materials. This timely and thorough review seeks to provide direction and inspiration for current research efforts dedicated to the ongoing incorporation of SAMs in the field of perovskite photovoltaics.
