Abstract

A new class of hole-transport materials (HTMs) based on the bimesitylene core designed for mesoporous perovskite solar cells is introduced. Devices fabricated using two of these derivatives yield higher open-circuit voltage values than the commonly used spiro-OMeTAD. Power conversion efficiency (PCE) values of up to 12.11 % are obtained in perovskite-based devices using these new HTMs. The stability of the device made using the highest performing HTM (P1) is improved compared with spiro-OMeTAD as evidenced through long-term stability tests over 1000h.
