Abstract For the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), both high efficiency and long-term stability are required. In a typical n-i-p device configuration of PSCs, organic hole-transporting materials (HTMs) are widely used to transport holes into contact metal. Although a variety of new HTMs for PSCs have been developed so far, enhanced stability as well as enhanced efficiency of PSCs using new HTMs has been rarely reported. In this work, a novel spirobifluorene-based HTM, denoted as DM, was synthesized by altering the peripheries of the very famous Spiro-OMeTAD. At the peripheries of DM, dimethylfluorene was introduced instead of anisole. DM-based PSC device showed certified power conversion efficiencies of 22.6% (~ 0.092 cm2) and 20.9% (~ 1 cm2). As a result of energy level matching between perovskite and HTM, a significant reduction in voltage loss of the photovoltaic device could be obtained. Furthermore, the new HTM, DM, showed the higher glass transition temperature (Tg) than Spiro-OMeTAD, which also resulted in the better thermal stability than Spiro-OMeTAD-based device, maintaining almost ~95% of initial performance for more than 500 h after thermal annealing at 60 °C. Details of our strategy to develop high performance HTMs for PSCs will be discussed in the presentation.
