Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="aenm201402340-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A low‐cost, chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent, 1, 1, 2, 2‐tetrachloroethane (TeCA), </bold> is used as an effective additive for the triarylamine‐based organic hole‐transport material, Spiro‐OMeTAD, which is successfully applied in highly efficient solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cells. A record power conversion efficiency of 7.7% is obtained by using the donor (D)‐π‐acceptor (A)‐dye, LEG4, in combination with the new method of TeCA‐doping of the hole‐transporting material Spiro‐OMeTAD. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjnfxtbcj" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
