“…In general, hole transport materials (HTMs) can be categorized into organic and inorganic materials. Compared with organic HTMs [such as 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis[ N , N -di(4-methoxyphenyl)amine]-9,9′-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD), 12 (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), 13,14 poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA), 15 triphenylamine (TPA), spiro-OMeTAD derivatives and others], 16–19 inorganic HTMs [such as copper oxides (CuO X ), nickel oxides (NiO X ), 20 copper iodide (CuI), 21,22 copper thiocyanate (CuSCN), 23–26 and copper selenocyanate (CuSeCN) 27–29 ] exhibit excellent chemical stability, high hole mobility, and high optical transparency. 30,31 Moreover, the facile and low-cost preparation of inorganic HTMs has emerged as a cost-effective substitute for organic HTMs which have low transparency, high cost and usually a difficult synthetic route.…”
