Improved efficiency of NiOx-based p-i-n perovskite solar cells by using PTEG-1 as electron transport layer
We present efficient p-i-n type perovskite solar cells using NiOx as the hole transport layer and a fulleropyrrolidine with a triethylene glycol monoethyl ether side chain (PTEG-1) as electron transport layer. This electron transport layer leads to higher power conversi...

| description | We present efficient p-i-n type perovskite solar cells using NiOx as the hole
transport layer and a fulleropyrrolidine with a triethylene glycol monoethyl ether side
chain (PTEG-1) as electron transport layer. This electron transport layer leads to higher
power conversion efficiencies compared to perovskite solar cells with PCBM
(phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester). The improved performance of PTEG-1
devices is attributed to the reduced trap-assisted recombination and improved charge
extraction in these solar cells, as determined by light intensity dependence and
photoluminescence measurements. Through optimization of the hole and electron transport
layers, the power conversion efficiency of the NiOx/perovskite/PTEG-1 solar
cells was increased up to 16.1%. |
