Monopotassium maleate salt stabilizes SnO2 colloid solution for efficient perovskite solar cells by Xiaoxuan Liu, Derun Sun, Huande Sun, You Gao, Fumeng Ren, Rui Chen, Xin Meng, Siqi Zhang, Wei Chen, Zonghao Liu

“…Herein, we report a SnO2 modification strategy by using monopotassium maleate (MPM) salt to functionalize the SnO2 nanocrystals. It is demonstrated that MPM can effectively inhibit the agglomeration of SnO2 nanocrystals, thereby improving the conductivity and electron mobility of SnO2 and passivating the defects at the buried SnO2/perovskite interface. …”
