Pyridine‐functionalized fullerene derivative as an independent electron transport layer enabling efficient and hysteresis‐free regular perovskite solar cells

Abstract Suitable electron transport materials bearing good interfacial contact, improved electron transport ability, and matched energy levels are indispensable for developing efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, regular (n‐i‐p) planar Cs0.05FA0.83MA0.12PbI2.55Br0.45 (CsFAMA) PSC device...
