Summary: Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is widely used as a hole transport layer (HTL) in organic solar cells (OSCs) due to its solution processability and compatibility. However, it has limitations such as moderate conductivity and transparency, acidity, and reactivity. This study doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) into PEDOT:PSS, improving the performance and stability of OSCs. The TiO2 doping strategy is generalizable and could enhance the development of high-performance HTL for commercialization of OSCs.

Summary: PEDOT: PSS is widely used in perovskite solar cells as a hole transport layer due to its processability, scalability, and commercialization potential. However, PSCs utilizing PEDOT: PSS suffer from recombination losses. In this study, dedoping PEDOT: PSS and optimizing its layer thickness improved the device's performance by reducing recombination losses at the interface.
