The results revealed that proper Nb5+doping increased the conductivity of the SnO2 electron transport layer(ETL), and the conduction band(CB) level of the SnO2 ETL was shifted down to approach the CB level of perovskites, which facilitated the electron injection from perovskite to SnO2, accelerated the charge transport, and reduced the non-radiative recombination, leading to improved power conversion efficiency from18.06% to 19.38%. The Nb^5+doping process provided an efficient route for fabricating high-efficiency perovskite solar cells(PSCs) at a temperature lower than 100°C, and promoted the commercialization progress of PSCs.展开更多
