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.

Three low-cost propeller-shaped small molecules based on a triphenylamine core and the high-performance donor molecule 7,7′-[4,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-silolo[3,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl]bis[6-fluoro-4-(5′-hexyl-[2,2′-bithiophen]-5-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole] (DTS(FBTTh2)2) were investigated as hole-transporting materials in perovskite solar cells. Each hole-transporting material was designed with highly modular side arms, allowing for different bandgaps and thin-film properties while maintaining a consistent binding energy of the highest occupied molecular orbitals to facilitate hole extraction from the perovskite active layer. Perovskite solar cell devices were fabricated with each of the three triphenylamine-based hole-transporting materials and DTS(FBTTh2)2 and were compared to devices with 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9′-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) hole-transporting layers. Each of our triphenylamine hole-transporting materials and DTS(FBTTh2)2 displayed surface morphologies that were considerably rougher than that of spiro-OMeTAD; a factor that may contribute to lower device performance. It was found that using inert, insulating polymers as additives with DTS(FBTTh2)2 reduced the surface roughness, resulting in devices with higher photocurrents.

<p>Developing cost-effective and rational hole transporting materials is critical for fabricating high-performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and to promote their commercial endeavor. We have designed and developed pyridine (core) bridging diphenylamine-substituted carbazole (arm) small molecules, named as <b>2,6PyDANCBZ </b>and <b>3,5PyDANCBZ</b>. The linking topology of core and arm on their photophysical, thermal, semiconducting and photovoltaic properties were probed systematically. We found that the <b>2,6PyDANCBZ </b>shows higher mobility and conductivity along with uniform film-forming ability as compared to <b>3,5PyDANCBZ</b>. The PSCs fabricated with <b>2,6PyDANCBZ </b>supersede the performance delivered by Spiro-OMeTAD, and importantly also gave improved long-term stability. Our findings put forward small molecules based on core-arm linking topology for cost-effective hole selective layers designing.</p>

Perovskite solar cells are a hot topic of photovoltaic research, reaching, in few years, an impressive efficiency (25.5%), but their long-term stability still needs to be addressed for industrial production. One of the most sizeable reasons for instability is the doping of the Hole Transporting Material (HTM), being the salt commonly employed as a vector bringing moisture in contact with perovskite film and destroying it. With this respect, the research focused on new and stable “dopant-free” HTMs, which are inherently conductive, being able to effectively work without any addition of dopants. Notwithstanding, they show impressive efficiency and stability results. The dopant-free polymers, often made of alternated donor and acceptor cores, have properties, namely the filming ability, the molecular weight tunability, the stacking and packing peculiarities, and high hole mobility in absence of any dopant, that make them very attractive and a real innovation in the field. In this review, we tried our best to collect all the dopant-free polymeric HTMs known so far in the perovskite solar cells field, providing a brief historical introduction, followed by the classification and analysis of the polymeric structures, based on their building blocks, trying to find structure–activity relationships whenever possible. The research is still increasing and a very simple polymer (PFDT–2F–COOH) approaches PCE = 22% while some more complex ones overcome 22%, up to 22.41% (PPY2).
