Abstract

The present invention relates to a polymer, an organic solar cell comprising the polymer, and a perovskite solar cell comprising the polymer. The polymer according to the present invention has excellent absorption ability for visible light and an energy level suitable for the use as an electron donor compound in a photo-active layer of the organic solar cell, thereby increasing the light conversion efficiency of the organic solar cell. In addition, the polymer according to the present invention has high hole mobility, and is used as a compound for a hole transport layer, and thus can improve efficiency and service life of the perovskite solar cell without an additive.

Claims (15)

1. A perovskite solar cell comprising:

a first electrode and a second electrode disposed facing each other; and

an electron transport layer, a perovskite layer, and a hole transport layer which are stacked between the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein the hole transport layer comprises a polymer for a hole transport layer of a perovskite solar cell which is represented by the following Structural Formula 1:

wherein in Structural Formula 1,

X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 are each independently O, S, Se, NH, or NR′,
