Symmetry‐Breaking Strategy Yields Dopant‐Free Small Molecule Hole Transport Materials for Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells with 20.58% Efficiency and Outstanding Stability

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A symmetry‐breaking strategy was used to design two isomeric D–A–D small molecules with 2,1,3‐benzothiadiazole or benzo[d][1,2,3]thiadiazole as acceptor motifs for dopant‐free hole transport materials in CsPbI₃ perovskite solar cells. Structural asymmetry can effectively regulates the dipole moment, energy level alignment, coordination‐active sites ...
