• performances. So far, 2,2’,7,7’-tetrakis(N,N-di(p-methoxyphenyl)amino)-9,9-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) is regarded as the most conventional solid state hole transporter for the PSCs [6][7][8][9][10]. Despite the high PCEs conferred by this hole transporting layer, spiro-OMeTAD has several limitations, such
