For most PSCs, organic materials such as 2,2＇,7,7＇-tetrakis（N,Npdimethoxyphenylamino）-9,9＇-spirobifluorene（spiro-OMeTAD） are used as the hole transporting materials（HTMs）, which are thermally and chemically unstable and also expensive. Here, we explored nickel phthalocyanine（NiPc） as a stable and cost-effective HTM to replace the conventionally used spiroOMeTAD. Because of its high carrier mobility and proper band alignments, we achieved a PCE of 12.1% on NiPc based planar device with short-circuit current density（Jsc） of 17.64 mAcm（-2）, open circuit voltage（Voc） of 0.94 V, and fill factor（FF） of 73%, outperforming the planar device based on copper phthalocyanine（CuPc） that is an outstanding representative of metal phthalocyanines（MPcs） reported. Moreover,the device with NiPc shows much improved stability compared to that based on the conventional spiroOMeTAD as a result of NiPc＇s high stability. Photoluminescence（PL） and Impedance spectroscopy analysis results show that thermally deposited NiPc has good hole-extraction ability. Our results suggest that NiPc is a promising HTM for the large area, low cost and stable PSCs.展开更多

As a result of the increased interface electron collection and reduced bulk recombination, the planar perovskite solar cell with the QDs modified ESL gives the large power conversion efficiency enhancement from 14.9% to 17.3% and greatly improved stability under the continuous light irradiation.展开更多
