Organic hole transport materials for high performance PbS quantum dot solar cells

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 May 14;60(40):5294-5297. doi: 10.1039/d4cc01194e.

Abstract

We developed a triazatruxene-based hole transport material (HTM), 3Ka-DBT-3Ka, aiming to enhance band alignment and augment charge generation and collection in devices, as an alternative for 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT). The PbS CQD solar cells employing 3Ka-DBT-3Ka as the HTM achieve a peak efficiency of 11.4%, surpassing devices employing the conventional PbS-EDT HTM (8.9%).
