Hole transport materials (HTMs) play an essential role in obtaining efficient and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In particular, PSCs based on dopant-free small molecule hole transport materials (SM-HTMs) have the unique advantages of reproducibility and long-term stability. In this work, we design and synthesis a small molecule, FIMPA-C11, with a D-A-D structure, to serve as a HTM. The corresponding inverted planar PSCs achieve a satisfying efficiency of 17.60%, equivalent to 17.01% of the NiO counterpart, with superior stability and much lower processing temperature. The property and morphology of FIMPA-C11 film make it a better substrate for the crystallization of perovskite absorbing layer. The work enriches the category of HTMs and provides innovation for high-performance dopant-free SM-HTMs in PSCs. [Display omitted] • A small-molecule with D-A-D structure and long alkyl chains was designed and synthesized as a dopant-free HTM for inverted PSCs. • FIMPA-C11 film can reduce the trap density at the HTL/perovskite interface, enhance the carrier migration and improve both efficiency and stability of device. • The device with lower process temperature shows higher PCE and better stability compared to the control device with NiO HTL.
