Efficient Hole Transporting Materials with Two or Four N,N-Di(4-methoxyphenyl)aminophenyl Arms on an Ethene Unit for Perovskite Solar Cells.

Novel steric bulky hole transporting materials (HTMs) with two or four N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)aminophenyl units have been synthesized. When the EtheneTTPA was used as a hole transporting material in perovskite solar cell, the power conversion efficiency afforded 12.77 % under AM 1.5 G illumination, which is comparable to the widely used spiro-OMeTAD based solar cell (13.28 %).
