Abstract
Spiro-OMeTAD has served as a crucial hole transporting material (HTM) in the advancement of efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the diminished thermal stability of lithium-doped Spiro-OMeTAD (Li-Spiro) has been a limiting factor, leading to a significant decline of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability, particularly at a temperature exceeding 65 °C. Here, we report an upgraded HTM, Spiro-OMeCzCl, by incorporating chloroethyl-modified carbazole units to expand the conjugated area of the donor group. This novel configuration significantly enhances the thermal stability and film quality. The resulting PSCs utilizing Spiro-OMeCzCl achieved a high PCE of 24.6%, coupled with exceptional long-term stability. The target cells maintained approximately 95% of their initial PCE after 57 days under a nitrogen atmosphere. Importantly, in subsequent thermal stability tests involving a gradual temperature increase, the cells sustained an average PCE of over 85% after 200 h at temperatures ranging from 60 to 90 °C.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
