Abstract
-containing ETLs produced a champion efficiency of 15.21%, while devices with a net ETL recorded a maximum efficiency of 11.88%. In addition, the modified devices showed a higher stability behavior against ambient air than the net devices, which was linked to the passivated grain boundaries of the modified perovskite layers along with the improved hydrophobicity.
