Article Abstract
Density functional theory calculations were employed to identify the ability of some diphenylamine-based hole-transporting materials (HTMs) for use in top-performance perovskite solar cells. The effects of donor/acceptor electron groups and the new π-bridge section in the three-part of structures were investigated thoroughly. The results indicated that adding electron-withdrawing functional groups such as CN in the phenylazo-indol moiety and substituting electron donor groups such as CH in the NH hydrogen atoms of the diphenylamine section can cause higher power conversion light-harvesting efficiency in new HTMs. Also, the replacement of thieno [3,2-b] benzothiophene as a part of the π bridge with the phenyl group according to the optical and electronic structure properties improves the efficiency of the new phenylazoindole derivatives.

Management of functional groups in hole transporting materials (HTMs) is a feasible strategy to improve perovskite solar cells (PSCs) efficiency. Therefore, starting from the carbazole-diphenylamine-based JY7 molecule, JY8 and JY9 molecules are incorporated into the different electron-withdrawing groups of fluorine and cyano groups on the side chains. The theoretical results reveal that the introduction of electron-withdrawing groups of JY8 and JY9 can improve these highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels, intermolecular stacking arrangements, and stronger interface adsorption on the perovskite.

In this study, four hole-transporting materials (JY-M1, JY-M2, JY-M3, and JY-M4) are designed by modifying benzothiadiazole-based core with diphenylamine-based carbazole via acceptors through thiophene linkers. The designed molecules exhibited deeper HOMO energy with smaller energy gaps than the reference JY molecule which enhance their hole mobility. The absorption spectra of the JY-M1, JY-M2, JY-M3, and JY-M4 molecules are located at 380 nm to 407 nm in the gaseous phase and 397 nm to 433 nm in the solvent phase, which is red-shifted and higher than the reference molecule, demonstrating that designed molecules possess improved light absorption properties and enhanced effective hole transfer.
