Dopant‐Free Polymer HTM‐Based CsPbI2Br Solar Cells with Efficiency Over 17% in Sunlight and 34% in Indoor Light

A new polymer, PDTDT, is developed as hole-transporting material for CsPbI2Br solar cells. Using PDTDT, an ultra-high efficiency of 17.36% with V OC of 1.42 V under one sun and 34.20% with V OC of 1.14 V under 200 lux indoor light are achieved. PDTDT based cells also show superior/comparable stability to dopant-free P3HT reference. Abstract...
