X60 is cheaper alternative to Spiro-OMeTAD. X60 is a spiro[fluorene-9,9′-xanthene] (SFX) based organic hole transport material (HTM).Devices with X60 as HTM showed high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) amounting to 7.30% in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSCs) and 19.84% in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). These results are competitive with the reported record PCEs of ssDSC and PSC devices based on the well-known HTM Spiro-OMeTAD. In addition, almost no hysteretic behavior could be observed in the X60-based PSCs, and the photovoltaic parameters of the devices are not affected by the scan rates used.
