Oxidized Ni/Au Transparent Electrode in Efficient CH3 NH3 PbI3 Perovskite/Fullerene Planar Heterojunction Hybrid Solar Cells.

UNLABELLED

The successful application of a Ni/Au transparent electrode for fabricating efficient perovskite-based solar cells is demonstrated. Through interdiffusion of the Ni/Au bilayer, Au forms an interconnected metallic network structure as the transparent electrode. Ni diffuses to the bilayer surface and oxidizes into NiOx becoming an appropriate electrode interlayer. These ITO- and
