Perovskite solar cells (PeSCs) have been considered one of the competitive next generation power sources. To date, light-to-electric conversion efficiencies rapidly increased to over 10% and further improvements are expected.

N-channel organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have generally shown lower mobilities (μFET) than their p-type counterparts. One of the reasons is energetic misalignment between work function (WF) commonly used charge injection electrode, i.e. gold (Au), and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) n-channel electron-transporting semiconductors. Here, we report barium salts as solution-processed interlayers, to improve electron-injection and/or hole-blocking in top-gate/bottom-contact...
