Self-assembled monolayer materials

Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) are ordered arrays of organic molecules formed by the spontaneous adsorption onto a surface of molecular constituents from a vapor or liquid phase. The molecules or ligands that form SAMs are chemically functionalized in order to have a higher affinity to the surface. Historically, SAMs have been effectively used to improve the surface properties of light-emitting diodes and field-effect transistors. In photovoltaics, SAMs have been proven as an effective strategy to improve the device performance of organic solar cells (Adv. Energy Mater. 2022, 12, 2202503, DOI: 10.1002/aenm.202202503) and dye-sensitized solar cells. (J. Mater. Chem., 2012, 22, 2915-2921, DOI: 10.1039/C1JM12317C) Lately, the interests of deploying SAMs as benchmarking hole-transport materials for perovskite solar cells have increase rapidly. The introduction of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has interesting impacts as due to chemical bonding it introduces a dipole moment at the interface, tuning the surface electronics and interfacial crystal defects. Moreover, the incorporation of functional groups coordinating with perovskite can be used in modifying the film growth, resulting in a better morphology and, more importantly, enhanced stability. So far, several ground breaking Si/Perovskite tandem devices with record efficiencies approaching or over 30% have been successfully demonstrated (1, Science. 370, 2020, 1300-1309, DOI: 10.1126/science.abd4016; 2, Nat. Nanotechnol. 17, 1214-1221 (2022), DOI: 10.1038/s41565-022-01228-8). Dyenamo offers several series of SAMs, ranging from with various linker (spacer) lengths (2PAC, 3PAC, 4PAC, 5PACz and 6PACz) in combination with different carbazole ending groups (H, Me, MeO, F, Cl, Br and I). The broad Dyenamo portfolio opens for systematic studies and optimization. Other SAM molecules than the ones in the table below can be ordered on demand. Please send a message to info@dyenamo.se.

DN-X37

MPA2FPh-BT-BA

Description:
DN-X37 (2F, (MPA2FPh-BT-BA)) is a donor–acceptor-type, hole-selective contact material, which is suitable to both wide-bandgap (WBG) and low-bandgap (LBG) subcells for high-performance perovskite tandem solar cells. With benzoic acid as anchoring group, the 2F molecules exhibit a predominantly face-on orientation stacking when deposited onto the TCO, enabling efficient cross-plane charge extraction. In the WBG cells, 2F enables efficient hole extraction and minimizes interfacial non-radiative recombination losses by passivating interfacial defects. In the LBG cells, 2F suppresses interfacial losses, regulates the crystal growth and enhances the Sn–Pb perovskite film quality. With these merits, highly performing perovskite tandem devices with record-breaking efficiency and excellent operational stability have been realized.

DN-X29 (Br-2EPT) is a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) material constructed by a two-bromine substituted phenothiazine as functional moiety, a two-carbon alkyl chain as linker and a phosphonic acid unit as the anchoring group. The molecularly tailored SAM Br-2EPT enables an energetically well-aligned interface with the perovskite absorber film minimizing non-radiative interfacial recombination losses, thus dramatically improving charge extraction/transport and device performance, as well as the device durability.

Full name:
(2-(3,7-dibromo-10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)ethyl)phosphonic acid

Typical properties:
MW = 465.10 g/mol

Recommended device concept:
• p-i-n Perovskite solar cells

DN-X32

EADR03

Description:
DN-X32 (EADR03) is a self-assembly monolayer (SAM) material featuring a modified bulky carbazole as functional moiety. The attachment of two 1,3-dimethoxy benzene units onto the carbazole core give a good energy alignment with the perovskite absorber film, and at the same time enhances its solubility. EADR03 was validated to facilitate hole transport, block undesired back-donation of electrons, and to passivate surface defects when applied as hole-selective contact in solar cell devices.

Full name:
4-(3,6-bis(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzoic acid

Typical properties:
MW = 559.62 g/mol

Recommended device concept:
• p-i-n Perovskite solar cells

DN-X33

MeO-4PACz

Description:
DN-X33 (MeO-4PACz) is a carbazole-based, self-assembled monolayer material for inverted perovskite solar cells. DN-X33 is a modified alternative to DN-X13 (MeO-2PACz) and DN-X10 (Me-4PACz). The introduction of the methoxy group is aimed to mitigate the poor reproducibility of perovskite layer deposition originating from the hydrophobic property of Me-4PACz. The longer alky chain linker is introduced to modulate the molecule stacking. DN-X33 (MeO-4PACz) is expected to be on par with Me-4PACz in hole extraction efficiency in perovskite and tandem devices.

Full name:
(4-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazol-9-yl)butyl)phosphonic acid

Typical properties:
MW = 363.35 g/mol

Recommended device concept:
• p-i-n Perovskite solar cells

DN-X39

4dp3PACz

Description:
DN-X39 (4dp3PACz) is a delicately designed self-assembled monolayer material for specific application in wide bandgap perovskite solar cells (WBG PSCs) and related tandem devices. The hydrophilic property of 4dp3PACz has been validated to promote a high-quality perovskite layer deposition. At the same time, the substituted TPA group was proved to effectively passivate defects in the perovskite films.

Full name:
(3-(3-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-9H-carbazol-9-yl)propyl)phosphonic acid

Typical properties:
MW = 532.58 g/mol

Recommended device concept:
• p-i-n Perovskite solar cells
