All materials and solvents were used as received without any further purification.
MeO‐2PACz (>98%),
2PACz (>98%), and PbI
2 (99.99% trace metals basis) were purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry.
Methylammonium iodide (MAI, >99.9%), 20 mm x 15 mm ITO (≈20 Ω □
−1) and TEC10 FTO (11–13 Ω □
−1) were purchased from Ossila. All solvents and remaining materials including C
60 (sublimed, 99.99%) and BCP (sublimed, 99.99%) were purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich unless otherwise stated. Substrates were patterned using a zinc and acid (4
m, HCl) etch, then cleaned by subsequent ultrasonication in diluted Helmanex solution, boiling deionized water, acetone, and isopropanol (IPA) consecutively. Substrates were then dried under a flow of N
2, and UV ozone treated for at least 15 min immediately prior to further processing. All perovskite solutions were filtered into a clean, glass vial through a 0.2 µm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter prior to deposition. Note that a small increase in device performance was observed when the HTL was fabricated one day prior to processing the perovskite layer.
