    Abstract

    PAF-86 film is electropolymerized (EP) by targeted monomer M1 tethered bifunctional carbozolyl moieties which not only serve in electron donation but also provide effective electrochemical (EC) active sites. The resulting PAF-86 film possesses a fairly compact surface, remarkable stability, efficient hole extraction capacity, and hole-transporting materials (HTMs) for inverted heterojunction perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Likewise, our investigation shows that PAF-86 film based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) retained about 80% power conversion efficiency (PCE) without encapsulation in air, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) based PSCs devices reduce to 4% under the same conditions. More impressively, the electropolymerization approach is convenient, controlled, and operated at ambient conditions which elude post heat-treatments and are appropriate for industrial application.
