Advances In Hole Transport Materials Engineering For Stable And Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells

This article reviews the various hole transporting materials (HTMs) used in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in achieving high photo-conversion efficiency (PCE) and operational stability. The PSCs are the latest development in solution processable solar cells offering PCE (~22%) on a par with that of p...
