Lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) appear to be the ideal future candidate for photovoltaic applications owing to the rapid development in recent years. The electron transport layers (ETLs) prepared by low-temperature process are essential for widespread implementation and large-scale commercialization of PSCs. Here, we report an effective approach for producing planar PSCs with Al³⁺ doped SnO₂ ETLs prepared by using a low-temperature solution-processed method. The Al dopant in SnO₂ enhanced the charge transport behavior of planar PSCs and increased the current density of the devices, compared with the undoped SnO₂ ETLs. Moreover, the enhanced electrical …
