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.

Recently, perovskite solar cells have been in the spotlight due to several of their advantages. Among the components of PSCs, hole transporting materials (HTMs) re the most important factors for achieving high performance and a stable device. Here, we introduce a new D–π–D type hole transporting material incorporating Tips-anthracene as a π–conjugation part and dimethoxy-triphenylamine as a donor part (which can be easily synthesized using commercially available materials). Through the measurement of various optical properties, the new HTM not only has an appropriate energy level but also has excellent hole transport capability. The device with PEH-16 has a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 17.1% under standard one sun illumination with negligible hysteresis, which can be compared to a device using Spiro_OMeTAD under the same conditions. Ambient stability for 1200 h shown that 98% of PEH-16 device from the initial PCE was retained, indicating that the devices had good long-term stability.
