Mesoscopic TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells with new hole-transporting materials containing butadiene derivatives†
Abstract
Two new triphenylamine-based hole-transporting materials (HTMs) containing butadiene derivatives are employed in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells. Up to 11.63% of power conversion efficiency (PCE) has been achieved. Advantages such as easy synthesis, low cost and relatively good cell performance exhibit a possibility for commercial applications in the future.
