Interfacial dipole engineering by self-assembled molecules in n-i-p and p-i-n perovskite solar cells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Self-assembled molecules are widely used as bottom interfacial layers in inverted perovskite solar cells, yet their application to perovskite top surfaces remains poorly understood. Here, we develop two self-assembled molecules for perovskite surface modification and interfacial optimization with the hole transport layer. Through solvent engineering, ordered and uniform molecular packing is achieved on the perovskite surface. These molecules optimize surface energetics and promote efficient hole transfer when coupled with a homologous hole transport layer. Their large molecular dipoles tune interfacial energy alignment and reduce energetic offsets, thereby accelerating charge extraction from the perovskite layer. This dipole-driven interfacial modulation is effective in both normal and inverted device architectures. As a result, a power conversion efficiency of 26.18% (certified 26.23%) is achieved in normal-structure devices, together with improved operational stability under maximum power point tracking. This work establishes a viable strategy for perovskite surface engineering using self-assembled molecules.
