Hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been intensively studied in recent years because of their high efficiency and low costs. For PSCs, the electron transport layer (ETL) is a key for its photoelectric conversion efficiency. Here we demonstrate the application of amorphous InGaZnO4 thin films as ETL for efficient PSCs by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The PSC device using such InGaZnO4 amorphous film as ETL has achieved an efficiency of 15.1%. The outstanding performance is attributed to the excellent properties of amorphous InGaZnO4 oxide thin films, including high electron mobility and high transparency, what is more, the electronic properties of the films can be controlled by changing the partial pressure of oxygen in the deposition chamber and post-deposition annealing process. Our result will be helpful for preparation of large area PSCs and other opto-electric devices at low temperature by physical vapor deposition method.

Anin situthermal annealing process (iTAP) has been introduced before the commonex situcadmium chloride (CdCl2) annealing to improve crystal quality and morphology of the CdTe thin films after pulsed laser deposition of CdS/CdTe heterostructures. A strong correlation between the two annealing processes was observed, leading to a profound effect on the performance of CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells. Atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy show that the iTAP in the optimal processing window produces considerable CdTe grain growth and improves the CdTe crystallinity, which results in significantly improved optoelectronic properties and quantum efficiency of the CdS/CdTe solar cells. A power conversion efficiency of up to 7.0% has been obtained on thin film CdS/CdTe solar cells of absorber thickness as small as 0.75 μm processed with the optimal iTAP at 450°C for 10–20 min. This result illustrates the importance of controlling microstructures of CdTe thin films and iTAP provides a viable approach to achieve such a control.
