Abstract:
Hole transport layers (HTL) are crucial materials to improve the power conversion efficiency in organohalide hybrid perovskite-based solar-cell applications. Two important physical properties are required in HTL materials: good hole mobility and air-protection. After HTL solution-based deposition, an intermixed chemical state at the interface between HTL and hybrid perovskite is key to confirming the physical property of HTL. We performed high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to investigate the chemical states at the interface between an ultra-thin P3 polymer and CH3NH3PbI3 hybrid perovskite thin film. At the interface, we found no apparent intermixed chemical state. Furthermore, we confirmed that the P3 HTL with the ultra-thin layer (7 nm) protected the hybrid perovskite material against air-exposure for 2 weeks.

Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...
