Hydrazone-based hole transporting material prepared via condensation chemistry as alternative for cross-coupling chemistry for perovskite solar cells
We introduce a new class of HTMs that are based on a hydrazone-backbone to the field of perovskite solar cells. The simple synthesis allows these materials to be produced at a low-cost.
