In inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the fullerene derivative [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is a widely used electron transport material. However, a high degree of energy disorder and inadequate passivation of PCBM limit the efficiency of devices, and severe self-aggregation and unstable morphology limit the lifespan of devices. Here, we design a series of fullerene dyads FP-Cn (n = 4, 8, 12) to replace PCBM as an electron transport layer, where [60]­fullerene is linked with a terpyridine chelating group via a flexible alkyl chain of different lengths as a spacer. Among three fullerene dyads, FP-C8 shows the most enhanced molecule ordering and adhesion with the perovskite surface due to the balanced decoupling between the chelation effect from terpyridine and the self-assembly of fullerene, leading to lower energy disorder and higher morphological stability relative to PCBM. The FP-C8/C60-based devices using Cs0.05FA0.90MA0.05PbI2.85Br0.15 as a light absorber show a power conversion efficiency of 21.69%, higher than that of PCBM/C60 (20.09%), benefiting from improved electron extraction and transport as well as reduced charge recombination loss. When employing FAPbI3 as a light absorber, the FP-C8/C60-based devices exhibit an efficiency of 23.08%, which is the champion value of inverted PSCs with solution-processed fullerene derivatives. Moreover, the FP-C8/C60-based devices show better moisture and thermal stability than PCBM/C60-based devices and maintain 96% of their original efficiency after 1200 h of operation, while their counterpart PCBM/C60 maintains 60% after 670 h.

The first single-diamond cubic phase in al iquid crystal is reported. This skeletal structure with the Fd " 3mspace group is formed by self-assembly of bolaamphiphiles with swallow-tailed lateral chains.I tc onsists of bundles of pconjugated p-terphenyl rods fused into an infinite network by hydrogen-bonded spheres at tetrahedral four-way junctions. We also present aq uantitative model relating molecular architecture to the space-filling requirements of six possible bicontinuous cubic phases,t hat is,t he single-and doublenetwork versions of gyroid, diamond, and "plumber'sn ightmare".Among the most intriguing self-assembled nano-and mesoscale soft-matter structures are the cubic phases formed by lyotropic and thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs), by block copolymers, [1,2] and by nanoparticle arrays. [3][4][5] Tw o classes of cubic phases can be distinguished, the "bicontinuous" and the "micellar" types. [6,7] Them icellar phases represent periodic arrays of spheres on ac ubic lattice, whereas the bicontinuous phases are more complex and usually formed by two networks divided by aminimal surface with aconstant mean curvature.Depending on the symmetry, the double gyroid (DG, Ia " 3d,Q 230 ), the double diamond (DD; Pn " 3m,Q 224 ), and the body-centered plumber'sn ightmare ("double primitive") cubic phases (DP; Im3 m,Q 229 )w ith junction valencies of n = 3, 4, and 6, respectively,c an be distinguished (Figure 1a-c).
