Inverted perovskite solar cells consisted of ITO (Indium tin oxide) / NiOX (Nickel oxide) / Perovskite/ PC60BM (phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester) / AZO (Aluminum doped zinc oxide) / Ag has been investigated [1,2] and are highly stable for continuous 1 SUN illumination [3,4]. For improvement the efficiency, the surface modification of NiOX surface has been also investigated using CsBr [5] and 2-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazol-9-yl) ethyl] phosphonic acid (MeO-2PACz). [6] The surface modification of MeO-2PACz on sputtered NiOX (See the scheme) not only protects the reaction between NiOX and perovskite but also passivates the surface defects. Because MeO-2PACz also acts as hole transport layer, the pin holes of NiOX layer should be filled by MeO-2PACz. To clarify the effect of MeO-2PACz on the property of NiOX hole transport layer, we investigated the NiOX thickness dependent photovoltaic performance of the perovskite solar cells with (w) or without (w/o) surface modification of MeO-2PACz on NiOX. Especially, we estimated the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of the perovskite solar cells by measuring the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and reflectance spectroscopy.
