Dopant-Free Hole-Transporting Material Based on Poly(2,7-(9,9-bis(N,N-di-p-methoxylphenylamine)-4-phenyl))-fluorene for High-Performance Air-Processed Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: It is a great challenge to develop low-cost and dopant-free polymer hole-transporting materials (HTM) for PSCs, especially for efficient air-processed inverted (p-i-n) planar PSCs. A new homopolymer HTM, poly(2,7-(9,9-bis(N,N-di-p-methoxylphenyl amine)-4-phenyl))-fluorene (denoted as PFTPA), with appropriate photo-electrochemical, opto-electronic and thermal stability, was designed and synthesized in two steps to meet this challenge. By employing PFTPA as dopant-free hole-transport layer in air-processed inverted PSCs, a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 16.82% (0.1 cm²) was achieved, much superior to that of commercial HTM PEDOT:PSS (13.8%) under the same conditions. Such a superiority is attributed to the well-aligned energy levels, improved morphology, and e
