High efficiency sequentially vapor grown n-i-p CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells with undoped P3HT as p-type heterojunction layer

Photovoltaic devices with perovskite materials as light absorbing material were fabricated through sequential vapor deposition of lead iodide and methylammonium iodide with undoped poly3hexylthiophene (P3HT) as a hole transporting layer. The sequential vapor deposition process produced...
