- Abstract
- The mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticle-based scaffold structure is the best electron transport layer (ETL) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and is still used in most PSCs with optimal photovoltaic characteristics. However, the high sintering temperature of TiO2 nanoparticles required to remove binders from the TiO2 paste limits PSC application to flexible electronics. In this study, a simple interface modification process involving ethanol rinsing is developed to enhance the photovoltaic characteristics of low-temperature processed PSCs. This easy and fast technique could enable remarkable performance by PSCs by significantly increasing the fill factor and current density, leading to a power conversion efficiency more than four times that of untreated solar cells.
