Perovskite solar cells, in which decaphenylcyclopentasilane (DPPS) layers were formed on the surface of the perovskite layer, were fabricated, and the influence on photovoltaic characteristics was investigated. The devices were fabricated by a spin-coating technique, and the surface morphology and crystal structures were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. By adding the DPPS, the fill factor and open circuit voltage were increased, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency was improved. A stability test in ambient air was carried out for seven weeks, and the photoelectric conversion efficiencies were remarkably improved for the devices with DPPS.

The interaction of light with plasmonic nanostructures can induce electric field intensity either around or at the surface of the nanostructures. The enhanced intensity of the electric field can increase the probability of light absorption in the active layer of solar cells. The absorption edge of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which is almost 800 nm, can be raised to higher wavelengths with the help of plasmonic nanostructures due to their perfect photovoltaic characteristics. We placed plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) with different radii (20–60 nm) within the bulk of the perovskite solar cell and found that the Au nanoparticles with a radius of 60 nm increased the absorption of the cell by 20% compared to the bare one without Au nanoparticles. By increasing the radius of the nanoparticles, the total absorption of the cell will increase because of the scattering enhancement. The results reveal that the best case is the PSC with the NP radius of 60 nm.

The mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticle-based scaffold structure is the best electron transport layer (ETL) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and is still used in most PSCs with optimal photovoltaic characteristics. However, the high sintering temperature of TiO2 nanoparticles required to remove binders from the TiO2 paste limits PSC application to flexible electronics. In this study, a simple interface modification process involving ethanol rinsing is developed to enhance the photovoltaic characteristics of low-temperature processed PSCs. This easy and fast technique could enable remarkable performance by PSCs by significantly increasing the fill factor and current density, leading to a power conversion efficiency more than four times that of untreated solar cells.
