An efficient Buchwald-Hartwig amination protocol enables the synthesis of new branched and polymeric hole transport materials for perovskite solar cells

Abstract

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are experiencing tremendous interest due to compatibility with solution processing on a wide range of substrates and very high efficiency. The hole transport layer (HTL) plays a fundamental role in such multistack cells. We propose new branched and polymeric organic HTL derivatives with sustainable synthesis and performances exceeding those of Spiro-OMeTAD, the standard in the field.
