Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been demonstrated as one of the most promising candidates for solar energy harvesting. Here, for the first time, a functionalized nanographene (perthiolated trisulfur-annulated hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene, TSHBC) is employed as the hole transporting material (HTM) in PSCs to achieve efficient charge extraction from perovskite, yielding the best efficiency of 12.8% in pristine form. The efficiency is readily improved up to 14.0% by doping with graphene sheets into TSHBC to enhance the charge transfer. By the HOMO鈥揕UMO level engineering of TSHBC homologues, we demonstrate that the HOMO levels are critical for the performance of PSCs. Moreover, beneficial from the hydrophobic nature of TSHBC, the devices show the improved stability under AM 1.5 illumination in the humidity about 45% without encapsulation. These findings open the opportunities for efficient HTMs based on the functionalized nanographenes utilizing the strong interactions of their functional groups with perovskite.
