Antisolvent- and Annealing-Free Deposition for Highly Stable Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells via Modified ZnO.

ABSTRACT: Even though ZnO is commonly used as the ETL in the perovskite solar cell (PSC), the reactivity of perovskite deposited thereupon limits its performance. Herein, an ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid-complexed ZnO (E-ZnO) is successfully developed as a significantly improved electron selective layer (ESLs) in perovskite device. It is found that E-ZnO exhibits higher electron mobility and better matched energy level with perovskite compared to ZnO. In addition, in order to eliminate the proton transfer reaction at the ZnO/perovskite interface, a high quality perovskite film fabrication process that requires neither annealing nor antisolvent is developed. By taking advantages of both E-ZnO and the new process, the highest efficiency of 20.39% is obtained for PSCs based on E-ZnO. Moreover, the
