摘要：

Large amount of trap states in low temperature processed TiO_x film hindered the charge transport in perovskite solar cells. Here, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were incorporated into a sandwiched structure of TiO_x/Au NPs/ TiO_x to improve the charge transport properties of low temperature (150 oC) processed electron conductor layers through plasmonic-mediated hot carrier injection at metal-semiconductor Schottky junction. And based on this structure, a remarkable device performance of 16.2 % was achieved in planar perovskite device geometry. A detailed investigation on the hot-electron generation and injection process of TiO_x /Au NPs/ TiO_x composites was demonstrated to explain the origin of device improvement. Further investigation revealed that hot electrons could be injected from Au NPs to TiO_x at the  plasmonic wavelength (500-600 nm) of Au NPs, resulting in increased film conductivity and surface potential of the TiOx film. The sandwitched structure of TiO_x/Au NPs/TiO_x is a key to achieve enhanced device performance to aovid any direct contact between Au NPs and perovskite, which is quite different from conjugated polymer/fullerene derivative solar cells. Our present work provides an alternative design of novel charge extracting layer toward low temperature processed highly efficiencient perovskite solar cells.
