The electron transport layer (ETL) is critical to carrier extraction for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Moreover, the morphology and surface condition of the ETL could influence the topography of the perovskite layer. ZnO, TiO2, and SnO2 were widely investigated as ETL materials. However, TiO2 requires a sintering process under high temperature and ZnO has the trouble of chemical instability. SnO2 possesses the advantages of low-temperature fabrication and high conductivity, which is critical to the performance of PSCs prepared under low temperature. Here, we optimized the morphology and property of SnO2 by modulating the concentration of a SnO2 colloidal dispersion solution. When adjusting the concentration of SnO2 colloidal dispersion solution to 5 wt.% (in water), SnO2 film indicated better performance and the perovskite film has a large grain size and smooth surface. Based on high efficiency (16.82%), the device keeps a low hysteresis index (0.23).

It is well known that electron transport layer (ETL) plays an indispensable role in the planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells (PSCs). TiO2 is widely used as an ETL material due to its excellent transport properties, however, the presence of defects in the TiO2 layer diminishes the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the devices. Herein, we introduce a method of low-temperature TiCl4 treatment to deposit a TiOx layer on the surface of TiO2 film, which can effectively passivate trap states at the TiO2 surface. Moreover, the treating process is optimized to be 30[Formula: see text]min using a 40[Formula: see text]mM TiCl4 aqueous solution. Benefiting from this, we obtain the champion device with the highest PCE of 18.47%, which is mainly due to the reduction of surface defects and the deposition of the well-crystallized perovskite films. Besides, the modified PSCs exhibit an average PCE of 17.59%, which is much better than the control devices.
