Abstract
AbstractThe performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is significantly governed by the interface of perovskite layer. Therefore, a great deal of attention has been paid to the interface engineering of perovskite layer to improve the performance of PSC. In the meantime, KCl is one of the popular molecules being utilized for the interface treatment between SnO2 and perovskite. In this study, we investigate the effect of UV‐ozone (UVO) treatment of KCl interlayer on the photovoltaic performance. A device employing UVO‐treated KCl shows a higher power conversion efficiency mainly based on an increased open‐circuit voltage (VOC). Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicates that the UVO treatment induces a rearrangement of energy level at the interface, being responsible for the increase in VOC. Accordingly, an increased charge recombination resistance is evidenced by impedance spectroscopy owing to the inhibited recombination at the SnO2 and perovskite interface by the aid of the aligned energy level.
