The rapid improvements of perovskite solar cells since its inception has been associated the advancements in the perovskite layer itself and the efficiency of the hole transport materials (HTM). As a potential for future energy applications, recording high power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has instigated the search for a more scalable production method with the usage of cheap and nontoxic precursors. By applying the insights from dye-sensitized solar cells fabrications methods, perovskite solar cells possess the ability to improve at a remarkable pace and the potential to be applied directly into the current systems without requiring new arrangements. Deposition of the perovskite layer onto the substrate has been a struggle particularly in the crystallinity, surface defects, toxicity and stability issues. Prerequisite to HTM includes high conductivity, diffusion length and compatibility with neighbouring …
