Phosphonic Acid Modification of the Electron Selective Contact: Interfacial Effects in Perovskite Solar Cells

Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, Rebecca Hill, Silver Hamill Turren Cruz

The role electron-transport layers (ETLs) play in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is still widely debated. Conduction band alignment at the perovskite/ETL interface has been suggested to be an important role for the performance of the solar cells. However, l ...
