We present a p-i-n perovskite solar cell (PSC) fully printed in air (except for the electrodes) incorporating an ultra-thin Bathocuproine (BCP) buffer interlayer which was deposited for the first time by blade coating. The p-i-n PSC delivered a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.9% over an active area of 0.5 cm2 under standard test conditions (STC). The buffer improved the PCE of the PSCs by reducing the charge recombination at the PCBM/Ag interface.
Also, an Ag electrode was screen printed on top of PSC with n-i-p structure reaching a PCE of ~5% over an area of 0.5cm2. These results highlight important factors which will help those developing printable PSC with either inverted or regular structure.
