Perovskite solar cell (PSC) technology holds great promise with continuously improving power conversion efficiency; however, the use of metal electrodes hinders its commercialization and the development of tandem designs. Although single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), as one-dimensional materials, have the potential to replace metal electrodes in PSCs, their poor conductivity still limits their application. In this study, the near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing anionic heptamethine cyanine dye-doped SWCNTs functioned in a dual role as an efficient charge-selective layer and electrode in PSCs. Benefiting from the improvement in conductivities and matched energy level of doped-SWCNT, the dual-role SWCNT electrodes applied to PSCs achieved a better performance than the undoped PSCs with a higher short circuit current (JSC) and fill factor (FF).

Perovskite solar cells with an indium tin oxide (ITO)/SnO2/CH3NH3PbI3/Spiro-OMeTAD/2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) doped single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) structure were developed by dropping TFE onto SWCNTs, which replaced the metal back electrode, and a conversion efficiency of 14.1% was achieved. Traditionally, acidic doping of the back electrode, SWCNT, has been challenging due to the potential damage it may cause to the perovskite layer. However, TFE has facilitated easy doping of SWCNT as the back electrode. The sheet resistance of the SWCNTs decreased and their ionization potential shifted to deeper levels, resulting in improved hole transport properties with a lower barrier to carrier transport. Furthermore, the Seebeck coefficient (S) increased from 34.5 μV/K to 73.1 μV/K when TFE was dropped instead of EtOH, indicating an enhancement in the behavior of p-type charge carriers. It was observed that hydrophilic substances adhered less to the SWCNT surface, and the formation of PbI2 was suppressed. These effects resulted in higher conversion efficiency and improved solar cell performance. Furthermore, the decrease in conversion efficiency after 260 days was suppressed, showing improved durability. The study suggests that combining SWCNTs and TFEs improves solar cell performance and stability.

An evaporable fullerene derivative, indano[60]fullerene ketone, was vacuum-deposited to serve as the electron transport layer in inverted perovskite solar cells. The amorphous nature of the deposited film and the ketone functional group of this fullerene derivative were considered favorable for decreasing the film thickness of the electron transport layer and eliminating the need for a bathocuproine buffer layer.
