The poor film conductivity and the low carrier mobility of organic small-molecule-based hole-transporting materials restrict their application in PSCs. This study develops an efficient and stable hole-transporting material, tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ)-doped copper phthalocyanine-3,4′,4′′,4′′′-tetra-sulfonated acid tetra sodium salt (TS-CuPc) via a solution process, in planar structure PSCs. The p-type-doped TS-CuPc film demonstrates improved film conductivity and hole mobility owing to the strong electron affinity of F4-TCNQ. By the F4-TCNQ tailoring, the composite film gives the highest occupied molecular orbital level as high as 5.3 eV, which is beneficial for hole extraction. In addition, the aqueous solution processed TS-CuPc:F4-TCNQ precursor is almost neutral with good stability for avoiding the electrode erosion. As a result, the fabricated PSCs employing TS-CuPc:F4-TCNQ as the hole-transporting material exhibit a power conversion efficiency of 16.14% in a p–i–n structure and 20.16% in an n–i–p structure, respectively. The developed organic small molecule of TS-CuPc provides the diversification of hole-transporting materials in planar PSCs.
