We report here a novel electron rich small molecule (H101) which is synthesized based on 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene . H101 shows similar absorption and emission spectra and thermal properties, compared to 2,2’,7,7’-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenyl-amine)-9,9’-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD). Employed as the hole transporting layer in perovskite-based solar cell, H101 showed very promising results with highest current density  of 20.5mA/cm2, highest voltage of 1.06V and thus, the power-conversion-efficiency (PCE, ŋ) reached 13.8 % under AM 1.5G solar simulation. Chemical doping by Cobalt-dopant is employed to improve the fill factor. This device performance is comparable with that obtained using the well-known spiro-OMeTAD, with good repeatability. Stability data results of the device over high temperature storage conditions suggest that H101 outperforms spiro. This is the first reported heterocycle containing material achieving >13 % efficiency in perovskite based solar cell devices. It demonstrates great potential for H101 as a replacement candidate to spiro-OMeTAD considering its much simpler chemical structure and synthesis process.
