Solid State Dye Sensitised1 ans Perovskite Solar Cells2 have been widely investigated to improve their performance. One of the most important components is the Hole-Transport Material (HTM). Triarylamine (TAA)-based HTMs have led so far to the most promising materials for these devices. Considering this, a series of triarylamines3 (DATPA) with electron-donating substituents was synthetisized and characterized as new HTMs and perovskite solar cells prepared to test their performance. The alkyl chain has been varied to explore the effect on charge mobility, material processing, stability and interfacial charge transfer dynamics.
