Abstract

The inverted perovskite solar cells have garnered significant attention due to their high stability, ease of large-scale fabrication, and suitability for tandem structures. The hole transport layer, as a crucial component of perovskite solar cells, plays a vital role in hole extraction and transport, surface passivation, perovskite crystallization, and device stability. To explore efficient, stable, highly transparent, and low-cost hole transport layers that can facilitate the commercialization of perovskite solar cells, this article reports on recent advancements in inorganic and organic hole transport materials utilized in this field. It also outlines the corresponding preparation methods with the aim of achieving high-performance, high-stability, and cost-effective perovskite solar cells.
