Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of perovskite solar cells and relates to a hole transport material based on thiopheno[3,2-b]indole and its synthesis method. Background Technology

[0002] Organic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) possess unique optical and electrical properties, making them a key research focus in next-generation photovoltaics. In just a few years, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs has significantly improved from 3.8% to over 25.7%. Despite this improvement in PCE, the commercialization of such PSCs has been hampered by their limited device stability.

[0003] Typically, the best-performing conventional PSCs consist of an electron-selective layer, an n-type mesoporous metal oxide scaffold, a perovskite layer, a p-type hole transport material (HTM), and a metal electrode. The performance of small-molecule HTMs is closely related to the structure of the central core, which significantly affects the hole carrier mobility of the HTM layer. Notably, strong intermolecular p–p stacking has been shown to be key to improving hole carrier mobility. Studies have shown that electron-rich fused heterocycles, such as carbazole, not only favor p–p stacking but also hole extraction.

[0004] Thieno[3,2-b]indole, with its central core, possesses a p-p stacked structure, and its strong electron-donating ability and coplanarity are beneficial for hole extraction in perovskite solar cells. Currently, thieno[3,2-b]indole is mainly used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) and as a sensitizer in mesoporous titanium dioxide thin films. It is also used as a structural side chain in solar cells. However, its thermal stability is low, and its material decomposition temperature is only 300-350℃ (Zhou X, Lu J, Huang H, et al. Thieno[3,2-b]indole (TI) bridged A-π-D-π-A small molecules: Synthesis, characterizations and organic solar cell applications[J]. Dyes and Pigments, 2018, 160.). Therefore, the development and design of hole transport layer materials based on thieno[3,2-b]indole with high hole mobility, low cost, and strong stability are of great significance for promoting the basic research and commercial application of perovskite solar cells. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hole transport material based on thiopheno[3,2-b]indole and its synthesis method. This hole transport material has high thermal stability and can be used in perovskite solar cells.

[0006] The technical solution for achieving the objective of this invention is as follows:

[0007] Hole transport materials based on thiopheno[3,2-b]indole have the following structural formula:

[0008]

[0009]

[0010]

[0011]

[0012] A method for synthesizing hole transport materials based on thieno[3,2-b]indole includes the following steps:

[0013] (1) Under nitrogen protection, 1,4-dibromo-2-nitrobenzene and 2-tributyltinylthiophene undergo a Still coupling reaction at 100–110 °C catalyzed by tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (Pd(PPh3)4) to generate 2-(4-bromo-2-nitrobenzene)thiophene.

[0014]

[0015] (2) Using chlorobenzene as a solvent, 2-(4-bromo-2-nitrophenyl)thiophene reacts at 135–145 °C under the catalysis of triphenylphosphine (PPh3) to generate 6-bromo-4H-thiopheno[3,2-b]indole.

[0016]

[0017] (3) Using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent, 6-bromo-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indole reacts with bromoisooctane at 35–45 °C under the action of sodium hydride to generate 6-bromo-4-(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indole.

[0018]

[0019] Alternatively, using DMF as a solvent, 6-bromo-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indole reacts with dodecyl bromide in the presence of sodium hydride at 35–45 °C to generate 6-bromo-4-dodecyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indole.

[0020]

[0021] Alternatively, in an aqueous solution of dimethyl ethylene glycol (DME) and potassium hydroxide, 6-bromo-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indole reacts with p-iodoanisole, cuprous iodide, and 1,10-phenanthroline at 90–95 °C to generate 6-bromo-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indole.

[0022]

[0023] Alternatively, in an aqueous solution of DME and potassium hydroxide, 6-bromo-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indole, 4-iodo-N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline, cuprous iodide, and 1,10-phenanthroline react at 90–95 °C to generate 4-(6-bromo-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indole-4-yl)-N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline.

[0024]

[0025] (4) Using tetrahydrofuran as a solvent, the product from step (3) and N-bromosuccinimide react at 0°C to generate an intermediate.

[0026]

[0027]

[0028] (5) In the presence of tetrahydrofuran and sodium carbonate aqueous solution, the intermediate and 4-boron ester-4',4'-dimethoxytriphenylamine react at 75–80 °C under the catalysis of tetratriphenylphosphine palladium to generate the target product.

[0029]

[0030] Furthermore, in step (1), the molar ratio of 4-dibromo-2-nitrobenzene to 2-tributyltinylthiophene is 1:0.9.

[0031] Furthermore, in step (2), the molar ratio of 2-(4-bromo-2-nitrophenyl)thiophene to triphenylphosphine is 1:5.

[0032] Furthermore, in step (3), the volume ratio of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether to water is 1:2.

[0033] Furthermore, in step (5), the volume ratio of tetrahydrofuran to water is 1:1.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0035] (1) The synthesis method of this invention is simple. The synthesized compound based on thieno[3,2-b]indole core and 4-methoxy-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-phenylaniline as end groups has a high glass transition temperature (90-100℃), high thermal stability, high thermal decomposition temperature (400-450℃), and high HOMO energy level (-5.11-5.00eV). When used as a calcium hole transport material in perovskite solar cells, it can improve the hole transport mobility in solar cells and thus improve the stability of the device.

[0036] (2) In this invention, the central core molecule thiopheno[3,2-b]indole is used as a module in the hole transport material of perovskite solar cells. Different carbon branches, methoxyaniline and 4-methoxy-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-phenylaniline are introduced. The introduction of different groups can effectively improve the energy level and hole mobility of the molecule, so that the material can have better hole transport capability, improve device performance, improve photoelectric conversion efficiency and improve device stability.
