Abstract

Tin oxide (SnO₂) is widely used in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) as an electron transport layer (ETL) material. Ethanol usually serves as a solvent of ETL but no one discussed the possible influences caused by ethanol. In this work, the effects of ethanol were investigated systematically. It is clear that ethanol treatment (EtOH-SnO₂) can remove surface disorder of mesoporous SnO₂ and thus enhance the conductivity as well. As a result, the champion PCE of 21.62% is obtained in PSC with EtOH-SnO₂ ETL, which is higher than that of control device (20.70%) due to improved film quality. Meanwhile, compared with control PSCs, the stability of the perovskite layer deposited on EtOH-SnO₂ ETL is gradually improved both for the light and thermal stability. Therefore, we make clear that the ethanol treatment can improve the quality of mesoporous SnO₂ and perovskite films for optoelectronic device.
