A Simple and Cost-Effective Thiophene-Benzene-Thiophene Based Hole Transporting Material for Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Key Points

To develop a cost-effective hole transporting material (HTM) that enhances the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.
Synthesis of thiophene-benzene-thiophene based HTM
Performance evaluation of the new HTM in PSCs
Comparison with conventional HTM (Spiro-OMeTAD)
The new HTM showed improved intrinsic conductivity compared to Spiro-OMeTAD
Enhanced thermal stability was observed in solar cells using the new material
Perovskite solar cells exhibited higher overall efficiency with the thiophene-benzene-thiophene HTM

Abstract

The efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are often constrained by the limitations of the conventional hole transporting material (HTM), Spiro-OMeTAD, which exhibits low intrinsic conductivity, poor thermal...
