Popis: Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a promising photovoltaic (PV) technology. Meanwhile, developing an electron transport layer (ETL) has been an effective way to promote the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs. Here, a 4-morpholine ethane sulfonic acid sodium salt (MES Na+) doped SnO2 ETL is utilized in planar heterojunction PSCs. The results show that the MES Na+ doped ETL can improve the crystallinity, and absorbance of perovskite films, and passivate interface defects between the perovskite film and SnO2 ETL. The doping effect accounts for the enhancement of conductivity and the decreasing work function of SnO2. When 10 mg mL-1 MES Na+ was added to the SnO2 precursor solution, the device showed the best performance Jsc, Voc, and FF of the PSCs values, which were 23.88 mA cm-2, 1.12 V and 78.69%, respectively, and the PCE was increased from 17.43% to 21.05%. This doping ETL strategy provides an avenue for defect passivation to further increase the efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
