Controlled Crystallinity of TiO2 Layers Grown by Atmospheric Pressure Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition and their Impact on Perovskite Solar Cell Efficiency by Eugen Zimmermann, Ka Kan Wong, Tobias Seewald, Julian Kalb, Jonathan Linke, Giso Hahn, Lukas Schmidt-Mende

“…The formed layers are characterized for their structural and optoelectronic properties and utilized as a hole-blocking layer in hybrid perovskite solar cells. It is found that TiO2 layers fabricated at elevated deposition temperatures possess strong anatase character but expose an unfavorable interface to the perovskite layer, promoting recombination and lowering the shunt resistance and open circuit voltage of the solar cells. …”
