Organic/inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are among the most promising photovoltaic technologies; with their low fabrication costs and high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). They have great potential for use as alternatives to silicon-based solar cells. In this work, we discusses a series of triphenylamine dibenzofulvene–based hole transporting materials (HTMs) featuring different numbers of MeO groups (none for YC-1, four for YC-2, and six for YC-3) and their use in p–i–n perovskite solar cells (PSCs). We investigated the optoelectronic properties of these HTMs and found that the PSC devices incorporating YC-1 as HTMs exhibited power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 15.78 ± 0.61% which is outperformed the corresponding PEDOT:PSS–based device (12.80 ± 1.31%) under similar testing conditions. In addition, the stability of the YC-1–based cell was superior to that of the reference device. That is, the PCE remained at 97.3% of its original efficiency after approximately 1300 h, outperforming that (75.1%) of the PEDOT:PSS-based device. This study suggests a new approach for designing the high-performance stable p–i–n PSCs.
