• Over the past five years, a rapid progress in organometal‐halide perovskite solar cells has greatly influenced emerging solar energy science and technology. In perovksite solar cells, the overlying hole transporting material (HTM) is critical for achieving high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and for protecting the air‐sensitive perovskite active layer. This study reports the synthesis and implementation of a new polymeric HTM series based on semiconducting 4,8‐dithien‐2‐yl‐benzo[1,2‐d;4,5‐d′]bistriazole‐alt‐benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b′]dithiophenes (pBBTa‐BDTs), yielding high PCEs and environmentally‐stable perovskite cells. These intrinsic (dopant‐free) HTMs achieve a stabilized PCE of 12.3% in simple planar heterojunction cells—the highest value to date for a polymeric intrinsic HTM. This high performance is attributed to efficient hole extraction/collection (the most efficient pBBTa‐BDT is highly ordered and orients π‐face‐down on the perovskite surface) and balanced electron/hole transport. The smooth, conformal polymer coatings suppress aerobic perovskite film degradation, significantly enhancing the solar cell 85 °C/65% RH PCE stability versus typical molecular HTMs. New in‐chain donor–acceptor semiconducting copolymers are designed and synthesized as dopant‐free perovskite solar cell hole transport materials. Combining the BDT donor and the BBTa acceptor building blocks yields pBBTa‐BDT copolymers with strong interchain interactions, substantial quinoidal π‐character, preferential π‐face‐on orientation, and therefore efficient hole extraction/collection and balanced electron/hole transport. Significant enhancement of solar cell performance and environmental stability are achieved.
