Nickel oxide (NiO) materials with excellent stability and favorable energy bands are desirable candidates for hole‐selective contact (HSC) of inverted perovskite solar cell (PSC). However, studies that focus on addressing interfacial issues, which are induced by the poor NiO/perovskite contact or other defects, are scarce. In this study, a facile one‐step hydrothermal strategy is demonstrated for the development of a 3 D NiO nanowall (NW) film as a promising HSC. The new NiO NWs HSC exhibits a robust and homogenous mesoporous network structure, which improved the NiO/perovskite interface contact, passivated the interfacial defect and improved the quality of the perovskite film. The optimized interface features enabled a power conversion efficiency (PCE) approaching 18 %. A diethanolamine (DEA) interlayer was introduced to further passivate the intrinsic defect of the NiO surface, resulting in better charge transfer with suppressed recombination loss. As a result, the champion PCE of the NiO NWs/DEA‐based device was increased to 19.16 % with a high open‐circuit voltage (≈1.11 V) and fill factor (>80 %), which is prominent in methylammonium lead iodide‐based inverted PSCs. Furthermore, the device exhibited better stability and lower hysteresis behavior than a conventional solution‐based NiO nanocrystal device.

“…The transmission spectra (Figure d) of the two different perovskite layers with and without P(VDF‐TrFE), using similar processing protocol and solution concentrations (0.5 m ), were compared with the control perovskite concentration (1.2 m ). The average visible light transmission (AVT) was calculated from the transmittance value (only for the perovskite film without considering the top and bottom electrode and other device layer) in the visible wavelength region from 450 to 750 nm as described in previous report . In the case of lower concentration (0.5 m ) of perovskite, both spectra exhibit higher transparency at longer wavelength in the visible range (450–700 nm) as compared with control concentration (1.2 m ), this will translate into clear enhancement in the transmittance of the fabricated solar cells.…”

Polymer Amplification to Improve Performance and Stability toward Semitransparent Perovskite Solar Cells Fabrication

The performance of methylammonium lead triiodide (CH3NH3PbI3)‐based solar cells depends on the crystallization and controlled microstructure. Despite their high performance, long‐term stability is a paramount factor toward large area fabrication and potential industrialization. Herein, poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoro ethylene) (P(VDF‐TrFE)) is used as an additive into a low concentration–based perovskite precursor solution to control the crystallinity and microstructure. Perovskite layers of lower thicknesses are derived from low precursor concentration, however, they often suffer from severe voids and roughness. Introducing judicious quantities of P(VDF‐TrFE) improves the surface coverage and smoothness, as well as reduce the grain boundaries in the perovskite. An array of characterization techniques are used to probe the structural, microstructural, and spectroscopic properties. Impedance spectra suggest that the P(VDF‐TrFE) can improve the carrier lifetime and reduce the charge transfer resistance, which in turn allows improvment of photovoltaic performance. For an optimized concentration of P(VDF‐TrFE), the fabricated semitransparent solar cells yield a power conversion efficiency in excess of 10%, which supersedes pristine devices, along with improved stability. The device architecture and the fabrication technique provide an effective route to fabricate cost effective and visible‐light‐semitransparent perovskite solar cells.

As extremely important inorganic materials, metal oxides play an irreplaceable role in solid perovskite solar cells. In this review, the preparation methods of metal oxides, their effects on the perovskite optoelectronic devices incorporated with the energy level compatibility of perovskite materials are provided. Finally, the possible reactions between interfaces during growth progress as well as passivation mechanism of some metal oxides to perovskite materials are discussed. The physical, chemical, and electrical properties of functional metal oxides endow the enhancement of the efficiency and stability of perovskite photovoltaic devices.[a] Dr.
