Performance enhancement of planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells by n-doping of the electron transporting layer

Abstract

Herein we report a simple n-doping method to enhance the performance of perovskite solar cells with a planar heterojunction structure. Devices with an n-doped PCBM electron transporting layer exhibit a power conversion efficiency of 13.8% with a remarkably enhanced short-circuit current of 22.0 mA cm2 as compared to the devices with an un-doped PCBM layer.
