The center of research field of emerging photovoltaics has been moved to perovskite solar cells with the highly favorable characteristics such as high absorption coefficient, long range exciton diffusion length and low temperature fabrication process. The power conversion efficiency was already achieved above 20% under 1 sun illumination. However, most high efficiency devices are based on high temperature processed oxide layers. Even, perovskite solar cells show huge hysteresis without mesoporous oxide layer. Moreover, the weakness to humidity of perovskite layer accelerates the life time decay of the device. In this study, we fabricated low temperature processed inverted perovskite solar cells based on PEDOT:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate]. We investigated the effect of inserting electron injection layer Liq [8-hydroxyquinolatolithium] between PCBM [[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester] and silver electrode. As a result, we got improved photovoltaic performance compared to the control device, especially on fill factor and the stability. The hysteresis free perovskite solar cells are shown with the physical analysis such as light intensity dependent investigation and optical analysis such as conductive atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence.
