Abstract

In this study, two fullerenes (C60, C70) and their methano-substitutions (PC61BM, PC71BM), as electron transport materials (ETMs) in perovskite solar cells (Pero-SCs), were systematically studied. As being used as ETMs, methanofullerenes, though with lower electron mobility compared to the counterpart pristine fullerenes, lead to higher power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of Pero-SCs. The difference is likely caused by the fill-out vacancies and smoother morphology of the interfaces between ETM and perovskite layers, as they were prepared by different methods. In addition, compared to C60 and PC61BM, C70 and PC71BM showed priority in terms of short-circuit current density, which should be attributed to fast free charge extraction abilities.
