Novel Hydrophilic Conjugated Polymers as Efficient Hole Extraction Layers for Solar Cell Applications
Todd S. Emrick, Ph.D.
- Novel hydrophilic conjugated polymers
- High performance solar cells
Using the novel hydrophilic conjugated polymers as hole extraction layers in solar cells can - Increase the power conversion efficiency of solar cells such as inverted perovskite solar cells
- Improve solar cell stability
- Lower processing costs
This invention provides novel hydrophilic conjugated polymers that can be used as hole extraction layers in solar cells to enhance power conversion efficiency and solar cell stability. The polymers can be synthesized in water at room temperatures without using toxic transition metals or flammable organic solvents.
