Abstract

Tin oxide (SnO 2 ) has recently emerged as a promising electron transport layer for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in light of the material’s optical and electronic properties and its low-temperature processing. However, SnO 2 films are prone to surface defect formation, which results in energy loss in PSCs. We report that surface treatment using ammonium fluoride (NH 4 F) leads to reduced surface defects and that it also induces chemical doping of the SnO 2 substrate simultaneously. The effects of NH 4 F treatment on SnO 2 properties are revealed by surface chemical analysis, computational studies, and energy level investigations, and PSCs with the treatment achieve photovoltaic performance of 23.2% in light of higher voltage than in relevant controls.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
