Effect of Single-Crystal TiO₂/Perovskite Band Alignment on the Kinetics of Electron Extraction.

ABSTRACT: The kinetics of electron extraction at the electron transfer layer/perovskite interface strongly affects the efficiency of a perovskite solar cell. By combining transient absorption and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, the electron extraction process between FA_0.83Cs_0.17Pb(I_0.83Br_0.17)₃ and TiO₂ single crystals with different orientations of (100), (110), and (111) were probed from subpicosecond to several hundred nanoseconds. It was revealed that the band alignment between the constituents influenced the relative electron extraction process. TiO₂(100) showed the fastest overall and hot electron transfer, owing to the largest conduction band and Fermi level offset compared to FA_0.83Cs₀
