Organic hole transport layers (HTL) play a very important role for realizing high performance and low-cost planar p-i-n perovskite solar cells (pero-SCs). In this work, we synthesized two X-shaped organic HTL materials, Si-OMeTPA and SiTP-OMeTPA, with silicon cores and triphenylamine (TPA) derivative branches. This molecular design strategy can substantially simplify synthetic procedures making them available for reducing device costs. This is particularly applicable for Si-OMeTPA since it can be synthesized by two steps from commercial raw materials showing a total yield of over 60%. This molecularly designed Si-OMeTPA possesses advantages of high thermal stability, high crystallinity with a long range ordered lamellar structure, and excellent hole mobility. The resulting HTL can also facilitate the sequential growth of high-quality perovskite films, giving a significantly enhanced photovoltaic performance with a best power conversion efficiency of 19.06%, which is one of the highest PCE among the planar p-i-n pero-SCs to date. In addition, the devices exhibit negligible hysteresis, good reproducibility, and stability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of an easily synthesized HTL material in planar p-i-n pero-SCs that shows superior performance relative to the well-known poly(bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine) (PTAA) HTL.

The first soluble hyperbranched tetrahedral polymers were prepared by Suzuki coupling polycondensation reaction between tetrabromoarylmethane/silane and 9,9-dihexylfluorene-2,7-diboronic acid at low concentrations. The polymers exhibited high thermal stability with their decomposition temperatures (T dS) in the range 352-449°C. The polymers emitted blue light highly efficiently in both solution and the solid state. The photoluminescence quantum efficiencies of the polymers in THF solution were in the range 73-99%, and those in thin films were 38-82%. The film PL spectra of the polymers exhibited similar spectral patterns to those determined in solutions, with 1-8 nm red shift in their emission maxima and 0-8 nm increase in their full width at half-maximum (fwhm) values being observed. No long wavelength excimer-like emissions at 500-600 nm, which were typical for polyfluorenes due to their self-aggregation in the solid state, were observed. Thus, the polymers were less prone to self-aggregation in the solid state due to their hyperbranched structures. A double-layer polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) device with a configuration of ITO/P_EDOT/polymer/LiF/Ca/Ag was fabricated. The device showed bright blue emission peaking at 415 nm with an external quantum efficiency of 0.6% and a turn voltage at 6.0 V. The synthetic simplicity, good solubility and solution processability, high PL quantum efficiencies in solution and the solid state, and nonaggregating property in the solid state would make the present polymers a novel class of blue emitters.

Porous organic materials (polymers and COFs) have shown a number of promising properties; however, the lability of their linkages often limits their robustness and can hamper downstream industrial application. Inspired by the outstanding chemical, mechanical, and thermal resistance of the 1D polymer poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS), we have designed a new family of porous poly(aryl thioether)s, synthesized via a mild Pd-catalyzed C–S/C–S metathesis-based method, that merges the attractive features common to porous polymers and PPS in a single material. In addition, the method is highly modular, allowing to easily introduce application-oriented functionalities in the materials for a series of environmentally relevant applications including metal capture, metal sensing, and heterogeneous catalysis. Moreover, despite their extreme chemical resistance, the polymers can be easily recycled to recover the original monomers, offering an attractive perspective for their sustainable use. In a broader context, these results clearly demonstrate the untapped potential of emerging single-bond metathesis reactions in the preparation of new, recyclable materials.

A series of nanostructured organosilicon luminophores (NOLs) composed of a central 1,4-bis(5-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzene (POPOP) acceptor chromophore and various peripheral p-terphenyl and 2,5-diphenyl-1,3-oxazole donor fragments have been synthesized for the first time using van Leusen reaction and direct palladium-catalyzed C-arylation of oxazole ring. Due to different functionalities of the silicon branching centers, NOLs with different donor-acceptor ratios have been obtained. The synthesized structures are expected to possess good optical characteristics for use in photonics and optoelectronics.

Paragraph 0022-0023, (2018/06/16)
The invention discloses a silicon-based triphenylamine derivative, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in a perovskite solar cell. In a chemical structural formula of the silicon-based triphenylamine, substituent groups are hydrogen, methyl, methoxyl, a methylthio group and a methylseleno group, and the substituent groups can be at any substitution site of a benzene ring. The silicon-based triphenylamine derivative material is not only simple in synthesis steps and has relatively high synthetic yield, and raw material cost is extremely low, a device preparation technology is simplified after the silicon-based triphenylamine derivative material is applied to a hole transport layer of a p-i-n type planar perovskite solar cell, and conversion efficiency of the solar cell alsocan be obviously improved, so that a good application prospect is shown; besides, it is worth mentioning that the silicon-based triphenylamine derivative disclosed by the invention has good crystallinity when m is equal to 0 and is not in an amorphous form, which is infrequent in other hole transport materials, and good crystallinity after annealing is beneficial to further improvement of hole transmission rate of the silicon-based triphenylamine derivative and increase of current of the solar cell and a fill factor.

Three Sonogashira–Hagihara polymerization protocols were applied for the synthesis of conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) by using group IV tetra(p-ethynylphenyl) monomers with 1,4-diiodobenzene or 1,4-dibromobenzene. The optical properties and surface areas of the CMPs were compared and related to the preparation conditions and the geometry of the tetrahedral building block as obtained after X-ray analysis. In each series, surface areas decreased—independently from the chosen parameters of catalyst, base, and solvent—from carbon-centered CMPs (1595 m2 g?1) to silicon-, germanium-, and tin-centered (649 m2 g?1) networks.

Non-fullerene acceptor based organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) reported so far are inferior to those derived from fullerenes. This increases the speculation on whether donors need to be tailored for advancing non-fullerene OPVs. We explored herein two direct arylation-derived diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based three-dimensional (3D) donors that can deliver respectable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 4.64% and 4.02% with polymeric acceptor N2200 blends, surpassing those obtained from PC71BM (3.56% and 3.22%, respectively). It is found that these 3D-shaped molecular donors can yield improved photo-to-current conversion and balanced charge transport when blending with the linear N2200 polymer. This finding suggests that engineering molecular geometry can be a promising approach for developing high-performance materials.

We report the synthesis and characterization of a tetrapodal breakwater-like small molecule, SO, containing a tetraphenylsilane core and four cyanoester functionalized terthiophene arms. SO possesses a deep lying HOMO energy level of -5.2 eV and a narrow bandgap of 1.9 eV. Absorption, X-ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements indicate crystalline nature of this compound but very slow crystallization kinetics. Solar cells employing SO and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) were fabricated and evaluated. Relatively low performance was obtained mainly due to the lack of optimal phase separation under various processing conditions including thermal annealing, slow-cooling and solvent annealing. Addition of poly(thienylene vinylene) (PTV), poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and a platinum-containing low bandgap conjugated polymer Pt-BODIPY, into the SO/PCBM blend was found to induce device favorable phase separation and the polymers were found to act as the primary hole conductor. Such ternary blend devices showed cooperatively improved performances over binary devices employing either SO or the individual conjugated polymer alone.

The synthesis of a series of di- tri- and tetraboronic acids based on respective phenyl- and thienylsilane cores is described. The optimal protocols involved lithiation of respective arylsilane precursors using either deprotonative lithiation or halogen/lithium exchange with n-BuLi followed by treatment of resultant intermediates with B(Oi-Pr)3 and subsequent hydrolysis, which afforded final products in good yields. X-ray crystal structures of selected diboronic derivatives were determined showing that hydrogen-bonding interactions of B(OH)2 groups are the main factor governing the supramolecular assembly.
