A star-shaped cyclopentadithiophene-based dopant-free hole-transport material for high-performance perovskite solar cells†
Abstract
A new cyclopentadithiophene (CPDT)-based organic small molecule serves as an efficient dopant-free hole transport material (HTM) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Upon incorporation of two carbazole groups, the resulting CPDT-based HTM (C-CPDT) shows an impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.68% with better stability compared with those of spiro-OMeTAD.
