Abstract: | In contrast to the traditional multistep synthesis, we demonstrate herein a two‐step synthesis shortcut to triphenylamine‐based hole‐transporting materials (HTMs) through sequential direct C?H arylations. These hole‐transporting molecules are fabricated in perovskite‐based solar cells (PSCs) that exhibit promising efficiencies up to 17.69 %, which is comparable to PSCs utilizing commercially available 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrakis[N,N‐di(4‐methoxyphenyl)amino]‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene (spiro‐OMeTAD) as the HTM. This is the first report describing the use of step‐saving C?H activations/arylations in the facile synthesis of small‐molecule HTMs for perovskite solar cells. |
