Experimental section
Fabrication of p-i-n planar pero-SCs: The details on the preparation of the
perovskite CH3NH3PbI3-XClX layer and the PCBM acceptor layer, as well as the
fabrication and characterization of the p-i-n pero-SCs can be found in our previous
publication (X. Liu, H. Yu, L. Yan, Q. Dong, Q. Wan, Y. Zhou, B. Song, and Y. Li,
ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 7, 6230 (2015)). After the preparation of the perovskite
layer and PCBM layer, the ethanol solution of PCBC with a concentration of ca. 0.2
mg/mL was spin-coated on the PCBM layer at different spin-coating speeds for 50 s.
Since the PCBC layer is very thin, it is difficult to measure the thickness of PCBC on
the PCBM layer directly. The average thicknesses of the PCBC spin-coated on Si
substrates at various speeds were estimated to be ~1.83, 1.36, 1.30 and 0.95 nm at
800, 1200, 2000 and 3000 rpm, respectively, from measurements by spectroscopic
ellipsometry. Finally, LiF (1 nm) and Al electrode were sequentially deposited by
thermal evaporation at a base pressure of 1×10-4 Pa. The deposition rate and film
thickness were monitored with a quartz crystal sensor. A shadow mask was closely
covered on the sample to define an active area of 4 mm2 during the Al deposition. All
the devices were fabricated in the same batch (the same solution and electrode
evaporated at the same time) to avoid batch-to-batch variation.
Characterization: The J-V characteristics were measured using a Keithley 2400
source meter unit under simulated Air Mass 1.5 Global (AM 1.5 G) solar illumination
with an intensity of 100 mW/cm2. The incident photon-to-current conversion
efficiency (IPCE) was measured by a solar cell spectral response measurement system
(Enli Technology Co., Ltd., QE-R3011). The alternating current impedance
spectroscopy (ACIS) measurements were performed on IM6e electrochemical
workstation (Zahner Zennium, Germany) in dark condition, with an applied bias of
2
0.96 V. An AC signal with root-mean-square amplitude of 10 mV over the frequency
range of 4 MHz to 0.3 Hz was adopted during the measurement. As evaluating the
stability, the pero-SCs were stored and measured in the glovebox.
