Abstract Inorganic metal oxides with the merits of high carrier transport capability, low cost and superior chemical stability have largely served as the hole transport layer (HTL) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in recent years. Among them, ternary metal oxides gradually attract attention because of the wide tenability of the two inequivalent cations in the lattice sites that offer interesting physicochemical perperties. In this work, ZnCo2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by a chemical precipitation method and served as the HTL in inverted PSCs. The device based on the ZnCo2O4 NPs HTL showed better efficiency of 12.31% and negligible hysteresis compared with the one using PEDOT:PSS film as the HTL. Moreover, the device sustained 85% of its initial efficiency after 240 hours storage under a halogen lamps matrix exposure with an illumination intensity of 1000 W/m2, providing a powerful strategy to design long-term stable PSCs for future production.

In this paper, we demonstrate that the inverted CH3NH3PbI3 (perovskite) solar cells (PSCs) based on fullerene (C60) as an acceptor is fabricated by applying an improved poly(3,4-ethlyenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) solution as a hole transport layer (HTL). The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of inverted PSCs is increased by 37.5% with stable values of open-circuit voltage (VOC) and fill factor (FF) because we enhance the viscosity of the PEDOT:PSS solution, indicating the perfect effect on both external quantum efficiency (EQE) and surface grain size. The characteristics of the PEDOT:PSS solution, which is being improved through facile methods of obtaining excellent growth of PEDOT:PSS thin film, have a considerable impact on carrier transport. A series of further processing fabrications, including reliable and feasible heating and stirring techniques before the formation of the PEDOT:PSS thin film via spin-coating, not only evaporate the excess moisture but also obviously increase the conductivity. The raised collection of holes become the reason for the enhanced PCE of 3.0%—therefore, the stable performance of FF and VOC are attributed to lower series resistance of devices and the high-quality film crystallization of perovskite and organic acceptors, respectively.

Carbon electrode based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted more attention owing to low product cost, long term stability and simple fabrication technology. Usually carbon electrode based PSCs are fabricated without hole transport layer, which results in slow development in photovoltaic performance and practical application. In this work, we synthesized p-type semiconductor VOx films via low temperature solution process. And the prepared VOx film was introduced into the carbon electrode based PSCs as hole transport layer, which is highly beneficial to further enhance the power conversion efficiencies. Here, we have demonstrated that solution processed VOx film is suitable to be the hole transport layer for PSCs based on low temperature carbon electrode. With the optimized layers of VOx, carbon electrode based PSCs with VOx exhibit enhanced photovoltaic performance compared with hole transport layer free PSCs. In the meanwhile, carbon electrode based PSCs with VOx hole transport layer have long term stability.

The electron/hole transport layer can promote charge transfer and improve device performance, which is used in perovskite solar cells. The nanoarray structure transport layers can not only further promote carrier transport but also reduce recombination. It also has a great potential in enhancing perovskite light absorption, improving device stability and inhibiting the crack nucleation of different structure layers in perovskite solar cells. This paper reviewed the research progress of perovskite solar cells with different nanoarray structure transport layers. The challenges and development directions of perovskite solar cells based on nanoarray structure transport layers are also summarized and prospected.
