Abstract
Poly
--(triarylamine) ( was employed as the hole transport layer s (HTL s ) to fabricate perovskite solar cells ( in
ambient air wherein the temperature and relative humidity were controlled at 30 and 30%, respectively. In comparison to
PSC s based on spiro OMeTAD HTL s the statistical power conversion efficiency (PC E) of ambient air fabricated solar cells
was close to solar cell s which were fabricated in nitrogen . It indicate d the PTAA layer s w ere less sensitive in air than that of
spiro OMeTAD during the fabrication process The PCE was around 12% in average for PS C s with PTAA HTLs. Additionally ,
i t was found that oxygen aging can further improve the PCE to 1 4 % in However, though the stability of HTLs were
improved by employing PTAA, the perovskite crystals limits the long term stability of perovskite solar cells. According to our
experiments, after 2 weeks degradation in air, the PCE of all PSCs were dropped due to the decomposition of perovskite
crystals. As a result, additional encapsulation treatments are worthy investigated for the long term stability of perovskite solar
cells..
