Effects of polysilane‐doped 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrakis‐(N,N‐di‐p‐methoxyphenylamino)‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene (spiro‐OMeTAD) hole transport layers on photovoltaic properties were investigated by measuring current density–voltage characteristics and incident photon‐to‐current conversion efficiency of CH3NH3PbI3‐based photovoltaic devices. Three kinds of polysilanes were used as the dopants. Due to the polysilane doping, conversion efficiencies of the CH3NH3PbI3 devices using the polysilane‐doped hole transport layers were improved. Microstructures of the CH3NH3PbI3 devices were also investigated. Based on the results of the microstructure analysis, impact of silicon in the polysilanes doped into spiro‐OMeTAD layer on photovoltaic properties were discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
