Spiro-OMeTAD with symmetric spiro-bifluorene unit has dominated the investigation of hole-transporting material (HTM) for efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs) despite of its low intrinsic hole conductivity and instability. In this study, we designed and synthesized three asymmetric spiro-phenylpyrazole/fluorene base HTMs, namely: WY-1, WY-2 and WY-3. They exhibit excellent electrochemical properties and hole conductivities. Moreover, the PSC based on WY-1 exhibits the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.2%, which is comparable to the control device employing spiro-OMeTAD as HTM (14.8%). These results pave the way to further optimization of both molecular design and device performance of the spiro-based HTMs.
具有对称螺二芴单元的 Spiro-OMeTAD 尽管本征空穴电导率低且不稳定,但仍主导了高效钙钛矿太阳能电池(PSC)的空穴传输材料(HTM)研究。在这项研究中,我们设计并合成了三种基于不对称螺苯并吡唑/芴的 HTM,即:WY-1、WY-2 和 WY-3。它们表现出优异的电化学性能和空穴电导率。此外,基于 WY-1 的 PSC 表现出最高的功率转换效率(PCE)为 14.2%,可与以 Spiro-OMeTAD 为 HTM 的对照器件(14.8%)相媲美。这些结果为进一步优化基于螺的 HTM 的分子设计和器件性能铺平了道路。
