ABSTRACT
Significant progress in PbS quantum dot solar cells has been achieved through designing device architecture, engineering band alignment, and optimizing the surface chemistry of colloidal dots (CQDs). However, developing a highly stable while maintaining desirable efficiency is still challenging issue for these emerging cells. In this study, by introducing an ultrathin NiO nanocrystalline interlayer between Au electrodes hole-transport layer PbS-EDT, resulting CQD cell improved from 9.3 to 10.4% because hole-extraction efficiency. More excitingly, stability significantly enhanced owing passivation effect robust interlayer. The with retain 95 97% initial when heated at 80 °C 120 min treated oxygen plasma irradiation 60 min, respectively. contrast, control devices without only 75 63% under same testing conditions.
