Abstract

Poly(triarylamine) (PTAA)-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functioned in a dual role as an efficient hole-transporting layer and electrode in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Thanks to the well-matched energy level, increased hole-transporting mobility, and hydrophobicity rendered by dopant-free PTAA, this dual-role SWCNTs electrode applied-PSCs using dopant-free PTAA achieved a better efficiency and stability than reference standards using LiTFSI-doped Spiro-OMeTAD. This dopant-free PTAA-applied SWCNTs electrode is expected to not only give a solution for efficiently using the SWCNTs electrode in PSCs, but also unveil the mechanism of the interaction between the hole-transporting layer and SWCNTs.
