Abstract
The rational design of hole transport materials (HTMs) through precise molecular energy level modulation and enhanced interfacial coupling, offers a promising approach for improving perovskite solar cells (PSCs) performance. In this study, we designed and developed three novel acridine-derivative HTMs, termed as TAO, TAS, and TASO2, featuring tailored highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energies and strengthened interfacial interactions with the perovskites layer. The TAS-based device obtained a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.6% and demonstrated outstanding environmental stability. These results highlight the crucial role of optimized energy level alignment and interfacial passivation in designing efficient and stable HTMs for perovskite photovoltaics.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
