Here, we demonstrate that swelling-induced mesoporous block copolymers can be templates for producing three- dimensional TiO2 networks by combining the atomic layer deposition technique. Thickness adjustable TiO2 network is an excellent alternative scaffold material for efficient per- ovskite solar cells. Our best performing cells using such a 270 nm thick template have achieved a high efficiency of 12.5 % with pristine poly-3-hexylthiophene as a hole transport material. The high performance is attributed to the direct transport pathway and high absorption of scaf- folds, small leakage current and largely reduced recombi- nation rate at interfaces. The results show that TiO2 network architecture is a promising scaffold for meso- scopic perovskite solar cells.展开更多
