In Situ-Formed and Low-Temperature-Deposited Nb:TiO₂ Compact-Mesoporous Layer for Hysteresis-Less Perovskite Solar Cells with High Performance.

ABSTRACT: Recently, reported perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with high power conversion efficiency (PCE) are mostly based on mesoporous structures containing mesoporous titanium oxide (TiO₂) which is the main factor to reduce the overall hysteresis. However, existing fabrication approaches for mesoporous TiO₂ generally require a high-temperature annealing process. Moreover, there is still a long way to go for improvement in terms of increasing the electron conductivity and reducing the carrier recombination. Herein, a facile one-step, in situ, and low-temperature method was developed to prepare an Nb:TiO₂ compact-mesoporous layer which served as both scaffold and electron transport layer (ETL) for PSCs. The Nb:TiO₂ compact-mesoporous ETL-based PSCs exhibit s
