Spiro-OMeTAD is the most popular hole transport material (HTM) for perovskite solar cells. The insertion of one carbonyl group into the spirobifluorene framework in spiro-OMeTAD gave a novel phenanthrenone-based hole transport material (spiro-PT-OMeTAD). It is found that the introduction of one carbonyl group into spiro-PT-OMeTAD led to a big difference in the absorption behaviors, frontier MO energy levels and hole mobilities. The steady-state photoluminescence characterization and the space-charge-limited-current measurement indicate that this phenanthrenone-based material plays an important role in hole collection and transportation in perovskite solar cells. As a result, the dopant-free perovskite solar cells based on spiro-PT-OMeTAD showed highly improved performance by exhibiting a short-circuit c.d. of 22.36 mA/cm2, an open-circuit voltage of 0.99 V, and a fill factor of 0.62% under 1 sun illumination, which gave an overall power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 13.83%, compared to 10.5% for the spiro-OMeTAD based devices. The experimental process involved the reaction of Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amine(cas: 101-70-2Formula: C14H15NO2)
Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amine(cas: 101-70-2) is a diphenylamine derivative used as a chemical additive for cured rubber.Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amine is highly toxic and may potentially induce chromosome abberation.Formula: C14H15NO2
