Abstract
After perovskite became a star material, research on perovskite solar cells (PSCs) became a hot topic and developed rapidly. Electron transport layers (ETLs) with high mobility, low-defect state, and suitable energy level arrangement dominate the development of planar heterojunction PSCs. In this work, the K+ and Cs+ doped composite SnO2 ETL (x mg KC-SnO2) by a continuous spin-coating of the x mg Cs+@KOH and SnO2 aqueous solution shows a substantial improvement in carries extraction, transport and collection properties, leading to the increased fill factor (FF) from 72.48% to 81.00% of the planar heterojunction PSCs, and finally the champion device average efficiency is 21.62%. Moreover, this work improves the interface contacts between ETL/Perovskite, as it reduces energy disorder and simultaneously promotes electron transport, charge extraction at the interface, improve energy level alignment and quasi-Fermi level splitting, and decreased resistance for charge transfer in the device. In conclusion, this simple and effective method of improving the FF value provides a certain shortcut to the performance of plane heterogeneous perovskite devices.
