摘要
A low-cost carbazole-based small-molecule material, 1,3,6,8-tetra(N,N-p-dimethoxyphenylamino)-9-ethylcarbazole, was designed and synthesized through a facile three-step synthetic route. The material was characterized and applied as a holetransport material (HTM) for low-temperature-processed planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Devices based on this new HTM exhibit a high power-conversion efficiency of 17.8% that is comparable to that of PSCs based on the costly 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl) amino]-9,9'-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD) (18.6%).
