Abstract

In conventional perovskite solar cell, hole transport material is very expensive and account for a large proportion of battery cost. In order to reduce the cost of the battery, finding a cheap substitute for traditional hole transport materials has attracted extensive attention from researchers. A lot of research results show that the carbon materials should be one of the most likely replacing traditional hole transport materials at their low price, stable chemical properties, work function matching perovskite materials, good charge mobility, conductivity and hole collection ability. At the same time, the efficiency of perovskite solar cells with carbon as the hole transport layer is also increasing year by year, and there is room for further improvement. The application progress of various carbon materials in the hole transport layer of perovskite solar cells is reviewed. The limitations of existing research work are pointed out, and the future research directions are briefly described.
