Abstract
A silver-based organic salt, silver bis(trifluoromethane-sulfonyl)imide (AgTFSI), was employed as an effective p-type dopant for the triarylamine-based organic hole-transport material Spiro-MeOTAD, which has been successfully applied in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of AgTFSI-doped devices improved by 20%, as compared to the device based on the commonly used oxygen doping both for ssDSCs and PSCs. Moreover, the solid-state dye-sensitized devices exposed to AgTFSI as dopant showed considerably better stability than those of oxygen doped, qualifying this p-type dopant as a promising alterative for the preparation of highly efficient as well as stable ssDSCs and PSCs for the future.
