A Morphological Study of Solvothermally Grown SnO₂ Nanostructures for Application in Perovskite Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: Tin(IV) oxide (SnO₂) nanostructures, which possess larger surface areas for transporting electron carriers, have been used as an electron transport layer (ETL) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the reported power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of this type of PSCs show a large variation. One of the possible reasons for this phenomenon is the low reproducibility of SnO₂ nanostructures if they are prepared by different research groups using various growth methods. This work focuses on the morphological study of SnO₂ nanostructures grown by a solvothermal method. The growth parameters including growth pressure, substrate orientation, DI water-to-ethanol ratios, types of seed layer, amount of acetic acid, and growth time have been systematically varied
