Recently, CsPbBr₃ perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have garnered attention due to cost-effectiveness and reliability. However, hole transport limitations lead to charge recombination and lower power conversion efficiency (PCE). Defects in the CsPbBr₃ layer, poor hole transport at the interface with carbon electrodes, and energy level differences hinder performance. Optimizing the perovskite layer using electron-donating organic molecules containing -NH₂ groups enhances efficiency and stability by passivating defects and modulating lattice structure. In this work, tetra(4-aminophenyl)ethylene (TPE) and tetra(4-aminobiphenyl)ethylene (TPE-Ph) were employed to optimize the CsPbBr₃/carbon electrode interface. Their strong electron-donating properties and amino groups facilitate hole transfer and defect passivation, boosting PCE to 9.38% and enhancing stability.
