Abstract:
A low-cost and efficient hole transport layer (HTL) material (TPE-CZ) with the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect has been synthesized. Due to the AIE effect, perovskite solar cells with TPE-CZ as the HTL deliver a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18% with better stability than those with the reference HTL (Spiro-OMeTAD).

Pore Transport and Ion-Pair Transport
Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct...
