Mixed-phase Mesoporous TiO2 Film for High Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells

doi:10.1007/s40242-018-8201-3

Abstract

Abstract: Mesoporous scaffold structures have played great roles in halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs), due to the excellent photovoltaic performance and commercial perspective of mesoporous PSCs. Here, we reported a mixed-phase TiO₂ mesoporous film as an efficient electron transport layer (ETL) for mesoporous perovskite solar cells. Due to the improved crystal phase, film thickness and nanoparticle size of TiO₂ layer, which were controlled by varying the one-step hydrothermal reaction time and annealing time, the PSCs exhibited an outstanding short circuit photocurrent density of 25.27 mA/cm², and a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.87%. It is found that the ultra-high J_sc attributes to the excellent film quality, light capturing and excellent electron transport ability of mixed-phase TiO₂ mesoporous film. The results indicate that mix-phase mesoporous metal oxide films could be a promising candidate for producing effective ETLs and high efficiency PSCs.

Key words: Mesoporous perovskite solar cell, Mixed-phase TiO₂, Hydrothermal method, Nanoparticle, Electron recombination
