Abstract:
High quality electron-transport layer (ETL) with superior optical and electrical properties is an essential part in high efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, SiW12 -TiO2 mesoporous film is prepared by a facile one-step spin-coating deposition method and successfully applied as ETL in PSCs. Compared with pristine TiO2 -based PSC, the SiW12 -TiO2 -based one shows a remarkable enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 12.00 to 14.66 %, which is owed to the higher conductivity, electron-extraction efficiency, and well-matched energy level alignment of SiW12 -TiO2 film. Moreover, the SiW12 -TiO2 -based device also shows a good long-time stability in under ambient conditions. This work demonstrates that using polyoxometalates (POMs) to modify the metal-oxide semiconductors is an effective approach for further enhancing the performance of PSCs.
