Ossila/PTAA Polymer for Perovskites & Perovskite Solar Cells/100 mg - M515/M515

Poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine (PTAA), one of the family members of poly(triaryl)amine, is an excellent hole-transporting and electron-blocking semiconducting material due to its electron-rich components. It has been reported that the use of PTAA can substantially improve the open-circuit voltage (V_OC) and fill factor (FF) of the cells. Perovskite solar cells based on the use of the hole-transporting materials exhibit a short-circuit current density J_SC of 16.5 mA/cm², V_OC of 0.997 V and FF of 0.727.[1]

With PTAA as the hole-transport layer (HTL), best results have shown that the incorporation of MAPbBr₃ into FAPbI₃ stabilizes the perovskite phase of FAPbI_3, improving the power conversion efficiency of the solar cell to more than 18% under a standard illumination of 100 milliwatts/cm² [2]. This makes PTAA the best polymer HTL yet for perovskites. Later on, 20.2% was achieved in 2015 with PTAA as the HTL [3].
