Abstract

Modified NiOx nanoparticles (NPs) developed via surface engineering are applied to a hole transport layer (HTL) in n‐i‐p‐structured perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Hexanoic acid (HA) as a surfactant improves the dispersibility of NiOx NPs in chlorobenzene (CB). The conductivity of the NiOx‐HA film is , which is superior to that of 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrakis(N,N‐di‐p‐methoxyphenyl‐amine)‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene (spiro‐OMeTAD) with dopants. The NiOx‐HA film shows better hole extraction properties compared with the pristine NiOx film. The NiOx‐HA NPs form closely packed and pinhole‐free films, leading to improved device performance with a power conversion efficiency from 5.5% to 13.1%.
