Good selective contacts are necessary for efficient solar cells with long-term stability. Solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have used Spiro-OMeTAD as the hole-transporting material since 1998, and since then, most hybrid molecular solar cells have spiro-OMeTAD as standard. The SAMs allowed for higher efficiency and stability in the p-i-n configuration of perovskite solar cells. However, the source of this significant improvement is still unknown and requires extensive research. We will review our research group's significant contribution in designing selective contacts with SAMs. We will show different ways to make chemical groups that help us understand the perovskite surface. The last part of our presentation will cover the relationship between device function and SAM structure. Charge transfer and charge carrier dynamics will be presented using advanced transient techniques to understand the interfacial kinetics. The device photocurrent and photovoltage response can be explained by understanding the chemical structure of the molecules, including carbazole, spiro-group, and phenyl amine moieties.
