AbstractAn electron beam evaporation method has been used to prepare tin doped indium oxide (ITO) films with 95 wt.% In2O3 and 5 wt.% SnO2 in an oxygen atmosphere. It was found that the deposition rate and oxygen pressure strongly influence the film properties when the substrate temperature was lower than 200°C. In an optimal condition, highly transparent (transmittance ˜ 90% at wavelength 570 nm) and conductive (resistivity – 3×10−4Ω-cm) films of thickness around 2000 Å at substrate temperature as low as 180°C can be obtained.

The adhesion of manganese silicide ( MnSi x) films on silicon and glass substrates is studied by using the micro-scratch method. The films were prepared by electron beam evaporation and thermal evaporation. To improve adhesion of the films, several techniques including ion bombardment, increasing substrate temperature, and insertion of a silicon intermediate layer were used. Finally, adherent MnSi x(x~1.7) films were prepared through solid phase reaction as well as reactive deposition. The hardness and modulus of the MnSi x(x~1.7) film were measured by a nano-indenter and the values are 8.8±1.0 GPa and 141±15 GPa, respectively.

Abstract As a promising photovoltaic technology, perovskite solar cells (pero-SCs) have developed rapidly over the past few years and the highest power conversion efficiency is beyond 25%. Nowadays, the planar structure is universally popular in pero-SCs due to the simple processing technology and low-temperature preparation. Electron transport layer (ETL) is verified to play a vital role in the device performance of planar pero-SCs. Particularly, the metal oxide (MO) ETL with low-cost, superb versatility, and excellent optoelectronic properties has been widely studied. This review mainly focuses on recent developments in the use of low-temperature-processed MO ETLs for planar pero-SCs. The optical and electronic properties of widely used MO materials of TiO2, ZnO, and SnO2, as well as the optimizations of these MO ETLs are briefly introduced. The commonly used methods for depositing MO ETLs are also discussed. Then, the applications of different MO ETLs on pero-SCs are reviewed. Finally, the challenge and future research of MO-based ETLs toward practical application of efficient planar pero-SCs are proposed. Graphical abstract
