In this work, we synthesized CuInSe 2 quantum dots (CISe QDs) and applied them to perovskite solar cells (PSCs) as an inorganic hole-transporting material (HTM). A power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 12.8% was achieved for the PSCs using CISe QDs as the HTM, which is the highest value reported to date for devices with a Cu-based chalcopyrite semiconductor as HTM. More importantly, the stability of PSCs with CISe QDs was significantly improved compared with that of the devices using spiro-OMeTAD as the HTM. These results demonstrate that CISe QDs are a promising inorganic HTM for PSCs with long-term stability and low cost.

X1 (MeO-TPD) is an inexpensive and easily synthesized π -conjugated molecule that has been used as a hole-transport material (HTM) in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSCs), achieving relatively high efficiency. In this paper, we characterize the physicochemical properties of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and show that it is a promising p-dopant in a spin-coating solution with X1 as the HTM. The doped ssDSSCs showed an increase in short-circuit current density from 5.38 mA cm –2 to 7.39 mA cm –2 , and their overall power conversion efficiency increased from 2.9% to 4.3%. Also, ssDSSCs with DDQ-doped X1 were more stable than the undoped samples, demonstrating that DDQ can act as a p-type dopant in X1 as an HTM for highly efficient, stable ssDSSCs.

Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskites have led to remarkable advancements in emerging photovoltaics. The rapid increase in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs has been mainly achieved by improving perovskite morphology and crystallinity. Herein, we report a simple and effective means to improve perovskite grain sizes using a porous hole transport layer (i.e., PEDOT:PSS in this work). We used polystyrene nanospheres as a sacrificial template to fabricate the porous-PEDOT:PSS. The growth of the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite film on the porous-PEDOT:PSS substrate yields a dramatic improvement in crystallinity and an enhancement in perovskite grain sizes. When the porous structure was applied as a hole transport layer in PSCs with planar heterojunction structures, the efficiency was significantly enhanced from 15.33% for the planar device to 17.32%. This simple method for enhancing perovskite morphology and crystallinity paves the way for its application to other device architectures for enhanced photovoltaic performance.

Wide-bandgap photovoltaics (WBPV) could not only provide electrical energy by photoelectronic conversion of the invisible part of the solar spectrum, but also usually had the unique advantage of high open circuit voltage ( V oc). In this work, we reported a novel HTM based on tetrakis (N-phenothiazine) Spirobifluorene (Spiro-PT), its HOMO energy level could be well matched with MAPbBr 3 perovskite HOMO energy level. This HTM could effectively suppress nonradiative recombination, which leads to an increase in the photovoltage of WBPV to more than 1.41 V. As a result, the n-i-p mesoscopic structured WBPV achieved a champion PCE of 7.36% as well as excellent operational stability exhibiting 91% of initial efficiency after 500 h continuous illumination without encapsulation. Based on the high V oc of the MAPbBr 3 /Spiro-PT device, the photovoltaic electrochromic device showed a response speed (the average coloring time was 40 s and the bleaching time was 272 s) and high average visible light transmittance contrast (about 37% in 450–780 nm), the corresponding electrochromic device with maximum dynamic contrast up to 46% at 600 nm between bleached and colored states. This WBPV-powered electrochromic system could provide a pathway towards stand-alone smart window technique for future energy-saving buildings.

The electron/hole transport layer plays a very important role in the planar structure of perovskite solar cells. Conjugated polymers have received considerable attention for use in perovskite solar cells as hole/electron transport layers and passivation layers. Although the devices based on conjugated polymer hole transport layers have achieved much progress, their performance is still inferior to that of devices based on the conventional spiro-OMeTAD hole transport layer. Here, we investigated the solvent vapor annealing (SVA) effect on conjugated polymers as well as the corresponding perovskite solar cell devices. It was found that SVA treatment could enhance the hole charge carrier mobility and thin film crystallinity. Meanwhile, the charge transfer efficiency was enhanced, and charge recombination was reduced. Hence, the conjugated polymer based device exhibited comparable or even better performance compared with the conventional spiro-OMeTAD based device. Moreover, the device stability was also improved.
