Organometal trihalide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) solar cells have reached to over 20% power conversion efficiency (PCE). The cost-effective solution process has attracted the scientific and industrial interests. However, perovskite solar cells are quite unstable. At first, the CH3NH3PbI3 crystal is a moisture sensitive material to be decomposed as CH3NH2, HI and PbI2. Second, the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells can be deteriorated under light without sealing in one day. The CH3NH3PbI3 crystal can be decomposed to PbI2 effectively with the presence of three elements: TiO2, light and moisture. In our study, perovskite solar cells have been fabricated in porous three layers as, <glass/F-doped tin oxide (FTO)/dense TiO2/porous TiO2-perovskite/porous ZrO2-perovskite/porous carbon-perovskite>. The porous carbon layer can work as the back contact. Stability tests of the perovskite solar cells were managed against light (Vis or UV-Vis) and heat (room temperature to 120 ËšC). Without sealing, the perovskite solar cells using porous carbon electrodes became stable significantly under AM 1.5 (100 mW cm-2) over 100 h. The details of results about XRD, XPS, impedance measurements will be opened in the conference.
