Abstract
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising candidates to reach the market to complement the current offer of photovoltaic cells although for such a thing they still have to overcome some challenges such as long-term stability. The hole transporting layer (HTL) is a crucial component in n-i-p PSC, since it must favor an adequate movement of charges and protect the perovskite layer from environmental conditions. In this sense, the commonly used HTL, spiro-OMeTAD, does not provide PSCs with sufficient stability and is too expensive. Cheaper molecular materials such as metallophthalocyanines are proving to be a good alternative, as they provide greater stability.[1]In this communication, we will present novel ZnPcs and CuPcs monomers[2] (see as examples Figure 1), among others, as efficient, stable, and low cost HTMs in PSCs. The MPcs are substituted with functional groups that possesses a very good solubility in a wide range of organic solvents, adequate HOMO LUMO levels and their photovoltaics performance as high stable solution processing in a wide range of perovskite solar cell devices.
