DOI: 10.1002/aenm. 201501773 and the PCEs of pero-HSCs thereby.[23, 24] Therefore, it is very important to develop an efficient hole transport pathway to further boost photocurrent and enlarge FF of pero-HSCs. In this scenario, we employ the highly electrical conductive, polyethylene oxide (PEO)-doped PEDOT: PSS as the HEL for the PHJ pero-HSCs. The dramatically enhanced electrical conductivity of the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL provides an efficient pathway for the hole extraction, transport, and collection from the perovskite active layer to the ITO anode. As a result, a significantly enhanced short-circuit current (JSC) of 23.42 mA cm− 2, a slightly enlarged open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.88 V, an enhanced FF of 80.10% and a correspondingly dramatically enhanced PCE of 16.52%, which is a≈ 45% enhancement as compared with that from the PHJ pero-HSCs incorporated with the pristine PEDOT: PSS HEL, are observed. Moreover, the PHJ pero-HSCs incorporated with the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL possess high device reproducibility and low photocurrent hysteresis. All these results demonstrate that we provide a simple but efficient way to boost the PCEs of pero-HSCs. Scheme 1 presents the molecular structures of PEDOT: PSS and PEO, and the device structure of the PHJ pero-HSCs. For comparison study, the pero-HSCs with both the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL and the pristine PEDOT: PSS HEL are fabricated and characterized. The solution-processible PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS thin film is selected as the HEL due to its highly electrical conductivity.[25] The higher electrical conductive PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL would enable the holes being efficiently transported through the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL and then collected by the ITO anode with less energy loss.[26–30] Thus, high JSC and large FF are anticipated from the PHJ pero-HSCs incorporated with the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL. Figure 1 presents the electrical conductivities of the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL and the PCEs of pero-HSCs incorporated with the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL as a function of the concentrations of PEO in the PEDOT: PSS, where the thickness of the pristine PEDOT: PSS HEL and the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL are the same, which is≈ 75 nm. The electrical conductivities of the PEDOT: PSS thin films are enhanced from 0.2 S cm− 1 for the pristine PEDOT: PSS thin film to 13.6, 147.9, 185.9, and 348.1 S cm− 1 for the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS thin films where the doping concentrations of PEO are 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, and 1.2 vol%, respectively. These results indicate that the electrical conductivities of the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS layers are significantly higher than that of the pristine PEDOT: PSS layer. The enhanced electrical conductivity of the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS layer is originated from the increased ratios of PEDOT in the bipolaron states and the tuned film morphology of PEDOT: PSS by PEO dopant.[25] It is also found that the PCEs of the pero-HSCs incorporated with the PEO-doped PEDOT: PSS HEL are significantly higherPerovskite hybrid solar cells (pero-HSCs) have attracted great attention in past years due to their high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and the super optical and electrical properties and solution processibility of perovskite materials.[1–3] To boost the PCEs, both the hole extraction layer (HEL) and electron extraction layer (EEL) are employed in pero-HSCs to sufficiently and effectively extract and transport the charge carriers from the perovskite light-harvester layer to the corresponding electrodes.[4–8] For example, in the planner heterojunction (PHJ) pero-HSCs with a device structure of ITO/PEDOT …
