Abstract

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attained considerable success within just a few recent years. This accomplishment is critically based on compositional modifications and morphology engineering of perovskite material or dependent upon prepared mesoporous-titanium dioxide (mp-TiO₂). However, no analysis of the antisolvent role used for crystallization of perovskite has been undertaken. Herein, we investigated the role of the antisolvent in the performance of hole transport layer (HTL)-free PSC (HTL-free PSC) based on the following sandwich structure: glass/fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)/compact-TiO₂ (c-TiO₂₎/mp-TiO₂/Perovskite (MAPI)/gold (Au). We studied perovskite layers with various porosities and layer thicknesses, and revealed that the generated pinholes had a major effect on the HTL-free PSC performance. A possible reason for this is that the pinhole in the MAPI layer does not allow the MAPI crystals to generate charge pathways to the TiO₂ layer. The MAPI layer prepared by chlorobenzene demonstrated a compact and pinhole-free highly crystalline MAPI layer with enhanced optical and electrical characteristics. However, the MAPI layers prepared by toluene and diethyl ether suffered from severe recombination issues at the MAPI/TiO₂ interconnect. The dark current/voltage (J–V) curve of the HTL-free PSC prepared using chlorobenzene shifted to higher voltage, suggesting a reduction of the backflow of charges at the interface. The J–V characteristics under illumination proved that the HTL-free PSC fabricated by chlorobenzene using as antisolvent in this study, had the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.65% along with open circuit voltage (V_oc), short circuit current (J_sc), and fill factor (FF) values of 0.8335 V, 11.964 mA/cm², and 0.56, respectively.
