Abstract Thin Spiro-OMeTAD and NiO nanoparticles layers, as well as their composite layer was formed by layer-by-layer spray deposition as hole-transport layer (HTL), with followed carbon nanotubes (CNT) deposition to form Ti/TiO2/HTL/CNT structures. Layers’ uniformity was estimated by Raman intensity maps, AFM and current-voltage characteristics of the CNT layer and between CNT and Ti contacts. The possibility of formation of thin, less than 100 nm, pinhole-free uniform composite NiO/Spiro-OMeTAD layer by spray-deposition was shown, which manifests itself as continuous HTL even after top CNT layer deposition.

Current–voltage hysteresis is a critical issue that impacts the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells, and thus, it is imperative to develop high-efficiency perovskite solar cells without hysteresis behavior.

We report our investigation on the S-shaped current–voltage characteristics in a hot-casting–processed (BA)2 (MA)3Pb4I13 Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) perovskite solar cell. The two-dimensional perovskite solar cells are fabricated with NiOx as the hole transport layer (HTL), which leads to significantly high open-circuit voltage (Voc). The champion device shows a Voc of 1.21 V and a short current density (Jsc) of 17.14 mA/cm2, leading to an overall power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 13.7%. Although the PCE is much higher than the control device fabricated on PEDOT:PSS, a significant S-shaped current–voltage behavior is observed in these NiOx-based devices. It is found that the S-shaped current–voltage behavior is related to the lower dimensional phase distribution and crystallinity at the bottom interface of the RP perovskite layer, and the S-shaped distortion is less severe after the device ageing test.

The nanocolloidal solution has been spin coated on the substrate layer-by-layer, a self-assembly technique has used to form the multilayer thin films. The optical and structural properties of self-assembled multilayer thin films were characterized by UV-visible, photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy
