Application

X59 is a new hole transporting material (HTM) with spiro[fluorene-9,9′-xanthene] as the core moiety. An impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.8% was achieved by using X59 as HTM in perovskite solar cell, which can compete with the record PCE by using the state-of-the-art-HTM Spiro-OMeTAD. The X59-based devices show negligible hysteresis and reasonable stability in dark and dry conditions at room temperature for over five weeks.

X59 can be used in the formation of hole transporting layer (HTL) for the fabrication of polymeric solar cells (PSCs) and perovskite solar cells.

General description

Spiro[9H-fluorene-9,9′-[9H]xanthene]-2,7-diamine (X59) is a hole transporting material (HTM), which has a spiro[fluorene-9,9′-xanthene] as a core component. It can be synthesized by Buchwald-Hartwig reaction. It shows a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.8%.
