Photovoltaic parameters of MAPbBr 3 cells (except where formamidinium was used in place of methyl ammonium, in which case, Form. is added to the cell structure column) from previous literature. The references are ordered according to submission date (earliest at the top). In the Cell structure column, Ti and Al refer to TiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 and P shows the cell was planar (all other cells were mesoscopic). The full chemical names of the HTM acronyms are listed below. List of HTMs shown in Table 1. PTAA poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine] {5.2} PCBTDPP Poly[N-90-heptadecanyl-2,7carbazole-alt-3,6-bis(thiophen-5-yl)-2,5- dioctyl-2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4]pyrrole-1,4-dione] {3.9/5.4} PDI N,N -dialkyl perylenediimide{3.7/5.8} CBP 4,4 -bis(n-carbazolyl)-1,1 -biphenyl {5.7} PIF8-TAA poly-indenofluoren-8-triarylamine {5.51} Spiro spiro-ometad [2,2,7,7 -tetrakis-(n,n-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)- 9,9 -spiro-bifluorene] {5.0} The values in the curly brackets are the LUMO/HOMO values, respectively, of the HTMs taken from the literature. Where only one value is shown, it is the HOMO level.
