Abstract

Alternate CuO instead of Novel low-cost Polyaniline (PANI)-single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT or SWCNT) nanocomposite – as a hole transport materials, substitutes by thin film of CuO designed as HTM in applications of Perovskite solar cells. The HTMs were prepared by a facile steps reaction from cheap starting material. These HTMs exhibit good solubility and charge-transport ability but it has big issue regarding temperature due to degrade the conductive polymer, in the same time using ZnO NW as ETM. The perovskite based on PANI-SWNTs achieved power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5 % under air conditions. For perovskite , we found that the solar cells synthesized based on vertical ZnO nanowire arrays by using perovskite organic materials of CH3NH3PbI3 as active absorber materials ,Pani- SWNT enable better photovoltaic performance than  using CuO as HTM theoretical study by using simulator SCAPS solar cells    . These results show that using CuO instead of  PANI-SWNTs- HTMs have great prospect to replace the Pani-SWCNTs  which is the most widely used HTM to obtain high –stability devices with temperature
