RT Journal Article T1 Isomerism effect on the photovoltaic properties of benzotrithiophene-based hole-transporting materials A1 García Benito, Inés A1 Zimmermann, Iwan A1 Urieta Mora, Javier A1 Aragó, Juan A1 Molina Ontoria, Agustín A1 Ortí, Enrique A1 Martín León, Nazario A1 Nazeeruddin, Mohammad Khaja AB Engineering of inorganic–organic lead halide perovskites for photovoltaic applications has experienced significant advances in recent years. However, the use of the relatively expensive spiro-OMeTAD as a hole-transporting material (HTM) poses a challenge due to dopant-induced degradation. Herein we introduce two new three-armed and four-armed HTMs (BTT-4 and BTT-5) based on isomeric forms of benzotrithiophene (BTT). The isomerism impact on the optical, electrochemical and photophysical properties and the photovoltaic performance is systematically investigated. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) using BTT-4 and BTT-5 as HTMs show remarkable light-to-energy conversion efficiencies of 19.0% and 18.2%, respectively, under standard measurement conditions. These results validate the readily available BTT heteroaromatic structure as a valuable core for the design of highly efficient HTMs for the preparation of PSCs.
