The breakthrough discovery of organometal halide perov-skite materials (OHP) as a superior converter to transform solar energy into electrical energy has completely changed the photovoltaic competition in the third-generation solar cells. 1− 6 Mesoporous structures based on high temperature treated metal oxide scaffold are mainly employed to fabricate perovskite solar cells, the photovoltaic performance of which has reached over 20%. 7, 8 Because of the ambipolar transport property of OHP materials, 9, 10 planar heterojunction (PHJ) perovskite solar cells have also been developed with high performance, where the perovskite film is sandwiched between selective charge transporting layers, obviating the need for a nanostructured (scaffold) electron acceptor and simplifying the device processing procedure. 11− 13 One of PHJ perovskite solar cells is so-called inverted or PiN structure that is mainly based on [6, 6]-phenyl-C61-butyricacid methyl (PCBM) as electron collecting layer is extremely promising, 14, 15 because the photocurrent hysteresis issue 16 is able to be eliminated and the device can be processed at low temperature, which can facilitate cost-effective fabrication on a large scale and with high throughput. 17− 19However, because of the mismatch between the Fermi level (EF) of the metal contact and the HOMO level of PCBM, the interfacial barriers between PCBM and metal electrodes such as Al, Ag or Au would suppress the effective electron extraction from PCBM to electrodes, which dramatically reduce the final device performances. 20, 21 Proper energy level alignment at these interfaces is critical to reduce contact barrier and ensure an optimized device performance. To achieve that, several interfacial materials approaches have been employed to modify the PCBM/electrode interface. PiN perovskite solar cells with excellent performance have been achieved via thermal evaporating a thin layer of LiF, 22, 23 calcium or organic functional molecules 13, 24− 26 or solution processing a thin layer of metal oxide (eg, TiOx or ZnO) 27− 29 or organic buffer layers (eg, fullerene derivatives and polymer electrolytes). 30− 33 Nevertheless, either a vacuum process or sophisticated expensive materials is required to achieve the fabricating of devices, which are likely to hinder the large scale fabrication of perovskite solar cells.
