Cells using such ETLs delivered a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.8%, which was 30% higher than the PCE of cells with only SnO2 as the ETL. The presence of a mesoporous TiO2 scaffold layer over SnO2 led to higher rectification ratios, lower series resistances, and higher shunt resistances. The cells were also evaluated under 200 and 400 lx artificial indoor illumination and found to deliver maximum power densities of 9.77 μW/cm^2 (estimated PCE of 12.8%) and 19.2 μW/cm^2 (estimated PCE of 13.3%), respectively, representing the highest values among flexible photovoltaic technologies reported so far.
