Nowadays, the planar structure is universally popular in pero-SCs due to the simple processing technology and low-temperature preparation.Electron transport layer(ETL) is verified to play a vital role in the device performance of planar pero-SCs. Particularly, the metal oxide(MO) ETL with low-cost, superb versatility, and excellent optoelectronic properties has been widely studied. This review mainly focuses on recent developments in the use of low-temperature-processed MO ETLs for planar pero-SCs.
