Abstract

See full text

A solid-state hole transport composite material (ssHTM) is provided. The ssHTM is made from a neutral charge first p-type organic semiconductor, and a chemically oxidized first p-type semiconductor, where the dopants are silver(I) containing materials. A reduced form of the silver(I) containing material is also retained as functional component in the ssHTM. In one aspect, the silver(I) containing material is silver bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI). In another aspect, the first p-type organic semiconductor is 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9′-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD). In one variation, the ssHTM additionally includes a first p-type organic semiconductor doped with an ionic dopant such as lithium (Li+), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), or combinations of the above-mentioned materials. Also provided are a method for synthesizing the above-described ssHTM, and a solid-state dye solar cell (ssDSC) fabricated from the ssHTM.
