A partially-planarised hole-transporting quart-p-phenylene for perovskite solar cells

abstract

Herein, we describe the synthesis of a hole transporting material based on a partially planarised quart-p-phenylene core incorporating tetraketal and diphenylamine substituents that show optimal energy levels and solubility for perovskite solar cell applications. The triple-cation perovskite devices incorporating such quart-p-phenylene derivatives show power-conversion efficiencies, short circuit currents, open circuit voltages, and fill factors that are comparable to those of spiro-OMeTAD.
