Low temperature printable carbon cathode based perovskite solar cell was for the first time interfacial engineered with dopant free, nanorod-liked copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) to facilitate charge transportation. Both the CuPc and low temperature processed carbon are potentially noble metal-free and highly stable. By incorporating CuPc nanorods as hole-selective contact material, together with the printable low temperature processed carbon as cathode material, considerably high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.1% was successfully obtained, which is comparable to or even a little higher than the device with state-of-the-art doped spiro-OMeTAD as HTM and noble metal Au as back electrode. Moreover, dramatically enhanced durability relative to doped-spiro-OMeTAD/Au based device was demonstrated by this newly developed device. Detailed excellent capability in accelerating charge extraction and …
