Abstract

A novel multifunctional inverse opal-like TiO₂ electron transport layer (IOT-ETL) is designed to replace the traditional compact layer and mesoporous scaffold layer in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Improved light harvesting efficiency and charge transporting performance in IOT-ETL based PSCs yield high power conversion efficiency of 13.11%.

Keywords: charge transporting; electron transport layer; inverse opal‐like structure; light harvesting efficiency; perovskite solar cell.
