A novel side-chain polymer was designed and synthesized by integrating a methoxytriphenylamine-conjugated-thiophene moiety as the hole transporting material (HTM) unit on a polystyrene side-chain (HTM–P1) by the radical polymerization of its relevant monomer (HTM–M1).

Boron subphthalocyanine (SubPc) has special physical and chemical properties, originating from its non-centrosymmetric, near-planar taper structure and large conjugated system; it can act as an alternative to the small molecule hole-transporting material 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis-( N , N -di- p -methoxyphenylamine)-9,9′-spirobifluorene in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). To achieve a higher solubility in common organic solvents and a more suitable highest occupied molecular orbital energy level that aligns with the valence band of the perovskite material, a SubPc molecule with a hexamethyl substitution at its peripheral position (Me 6 -SubPc) was successfully designed and synthesized in a one-step method. Completely solution processed PSCs were fabricated with only a small hysteresis, a power conversion efficiency of 6.96% and V oc of 0.986 V.

Hole transport materials are indispensable to high efficiency perovskite solar cells. Two new hole transporting materials (HTMs), named 4,4′-(9-nonyl-9H-carbazole-3,6-diyl)bis (N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline) (CZTPA-1) and 4,4′-(9-methyl-9H-carbazole-3,6-diyl)bis (N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline)(CZTPA-2), were developed by different alkyl substitution methods. The two compounds, containing a carbazole core and triphenylamine (TPA) groups with different lengths of the alkyl chain, were designed and synthesized through a two-step synthesis approach. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) was found to be affected by the length of the alkyl chain, reaching 7% for CZTPA-1 and 11% for CZTPA-2. Furthermore, the CZTPA-2 still maintained 89.7% of its original performance after 400 h. The proposed results demonstrate the effect of carbon chain substituents on the efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs).

We report three PEDOT derivatives, namely P6, P10, and P14, by tailoring the length of the alkyl side-chains, and apply them as dopant-free HTMs in mesoscopic n–i–p structured PSCs. The devices with P10 afford the best efficiency of 16.2% together with excellent ambient stability.
