Photo-doping of spiro-OMeTAD for highly stable and efficient perovskite solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Kai Zhu, Etienne Christophe Socie, George Cameron Fish, Aaron Tomas Terpstra

A widely used component of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is the molecular hole-transport material (HTM) spiro-OMeTAD. This organic solid needs to be p-doped to acquire sufficient hole conductivity. However, the conventional doping method us ...
