Source abstract
Abstract
The stability of perovskite solar cell has been a problem which prevents the commercialization process. Herein, the perovskite solar cells with CuInS2 and PH1000 films as hole transport materials are fabricated and the device performances are compared with each other in ambient atmosphere with air and 55% relative humidity. The results show that the perovskite solar cell with CuInS2 as hole transport material have better stability and higher energy conversion efficiency compared to the cell with the PH1000, indicating that CuInS2 is a better hole-transporting material which can keep the stability of the perovskite solar cells.
