	abstract = {Photovoltaic devices based on organic semiconductors and organo-metal halide perovskites have not yet reached the theoretically predicted power conversion efficiencies while they still exhibit poor environmental stability. Interfacial engineering using suitable materials has been recognized as an attractive approach to tackle the above issues. We introduce here a zinc porphyrin-triazine-bodipy donor-πbridge-acceptor dye as a universal electron transfer mediator in both organic and perovskite solar cells. Thanks to its "push-pull" character, this dye enhances electron transfer from the absorber layer toward the electron-selective contact, thus improving the device{\textquoteright}s photocurrent and efficiency. The direct result is more than 10\% average power conversion efficiency enhancement in both fullerene-based (from 8.65 to 9.80\%) and non-fullerene-based (from 7.71 to 8.73\%) organic solar cells as well as in perovskite ones (from 14.56 to 15.67\%), proving the universality of our approach. Concurrently, by forming a hydrophobic network on the surface of metal oxide substrates, it improves the nanomorphology of the photoactive overlayer and contributes to efficiency stabilization. The fabricated devices of both kinds preserved more than 85\% of their efficiency upon exposure to ambient conditions for more than 600 h without any encapsulation. {\textcopyright} 2019 American Chemical Society.},
