Abstract
Hole transporting materials (HTMs) are a vital component for both conventional and indoor perovskite solar cells. Spiro-OMeTAD has become one of the most widely studied HTM; however, its high molecular symmetry tends to give rise to nonuniform films that are not conducive to good photovoltaic device stability and large-area processing. Moreover, other issues relating to Spiro-OMeTAD, such as high cost, have spurred investigations into the development of new HTMs. Here, we report two spirobisindane-based HTMs (AS-135 and AS-179) for conventional and indoor perovskite solar cells. The lower symmetry and ability to synthesize from cheap, readily accessible precursors provides obvious advantages over Spiro-OMeTAD. We show that spirobisindane-based HTMs are effective HTMs under both 1 Sun and indoor illumination upon doping with LiTFSi and power conversion efficiency ≈11% were demonstrated under 1 Sun and over 20% under 1000 lx indoor illuminance.

期刊介绍:
Solar RRL, formerly known as Rapid Research Letters, has evolved to embrace a broader and more encompassing format. We publish Research Articles and Reviews covering all facets of solar energy conversion. This includes, but is not limited to, photovoltaics and solar cells (both established and emerging systems), as well as the development, characterization, and optimization of materials and devices. Additionally, we cover topics such as photovoltaic modules and systems, their installation and deployment, photocatalysis, solar fuels, photothermal and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion, energy distribution, grid issues, and other relevant aspects. Join us in exploring the latest advancements in solar energy conversion research.
