Abstract

In principle, conjugated polymers can work as electron donors and thus as low-cost p-type organic semiconductors to transport holes in photovoltaic devices. With the booming interests in high-efficiency and low-cost solar cells to tackle global climate change and energy shortage, hole transporting materials (HTMs) based on conjugated polymers have received increasing attention in the past decade. In this perspective, recent advances in HTMs for a range of photovoltaic devices including dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and silicon (Si)/organic heterojunction solar cells (HSCs) are summarized and perspectives on their future development are also presented.
