Abstract

The feasibility of co-depositing a hole-conductor and a perovskite layer is demonstrated to simplify the preparation process of perovskite solar cells. The CuSCN incorporated in the perovskite layer can participate in forming the perovskite/CuSCN bulk-heterojunction and accelerate hole transport effectively, which eventually leads to a maximum power conversion efficiency of 18.1% with almost no J-V hysteresis.
