Improved photovoltaic performance of triple-cation mixed-halide perovskite solar cells with binary trivalent metals incorporated into the titanium dioxide electron transport layer by Thambidurai, Mariyappan, Foo, Shini, K. M. Muhammed Salim, Harikesh, Padinhare Cholakkal, Bruno, Annalisa, Nur Fadilah Jamaludin, Lie, Stener, Mathews, Nripan, Dang, Cuong

“…In this study, we demonstrated the use of a solution-processed aluminium indium (AlIn)-TiO2 compact layer as a highly effective electron transport layer (ETL) to achieve outstanding performance of perovskite solar cells; our results showed that the incorporation of AlIn into the TiO2 layer allowed better energy band alignment of the ETL-perovskite interface, improved the transparency, and enhanced the conductivity as compared to the case of pristine TiO2. Via co-doping these trivalent metals, an enhancement in voltage, current density, and even fill factor was observed. …”
