Abstract:
Achieving long‐term device stability is one of the most challenging issues that impede the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Recent studies have emphasized the significant role of the cathode interfacial layer (CIL) in determining the stability of inverted p‐i‐n PSCs. However, experimental investigations focusing on the influence of CIL to PSC degradation has not yet been systematically explored. Here, a comparative analysis was performed on the PSC device stability by using four different CILs including practical oxides like ZnO and TiOx. A new implemented co‐doping approach was found to results in high device performance and enhanced the device stability. The PSC with a thick film configuration of chemically modified TiOx CIL preserves over 77% of its initial efficiencies of 17.24% for 300 h under operational conditions without any encapsulation. The PSCs developed are among the most stable reported for methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite compositions.
