Surface Treatment on Nickel Oxide to Enhance the Efficiency of Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells by Kaijie Wang, Ye Tian, Heng Jiang, Meng Chen, Shuangyan Xu

“…It is found that high-temperature annealing (500°C) is required to ensure the perovskite solar cell (PSC) with an efficiency over 15%. Low-temperature annealing (100°C) cannot convert the precursor materials to fully covered NiOx film, while the PSC based on mediate-temperature annealing (300°C) NiOx has larger resistance and thus lower efficiency. …”
