Even though the mesoporous-type perovskite solar cell (PSC) is known for high efficiency, its planar-type counterpart exhibits lower efficiency and hysteretic response. Herein, we report success in suppressing hysteresis record devices using EDTA-complexed tin oxide (SnO2) electron-transport layer. The Fermi level of SnO2 better matched with conduction band perovskite, leading to open-circuit voltage. Its electron mobility about three times larger than that SnO2. power conversion PSCs...
