The verities of defect states with a different energy level in the band gap and those in the absorption layer CH3NH3PbI3 （MAPbI3）, the interface between the buffer layer/MAPbI3, and the interface be- tween the hole transport material （HTM） and MAPbI3, were studied.

They are open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, fill factor, and photoelectric conversion efficiency. We found that the performances of perovskite solar cells change worse with defect state density increasing, but when defect state density is lower than 1016 cm^-3, the effects are small. Defect states in the absorption layer have much larger effects than those in the adjacent interface layers. The per-ovskite solar cells have better performance as its working temperature is reduced. When the thickness of MAPbI3 is about 0.3μm, perovskite solar cells show better comprehensive performance, while the thickness 0.05μm for Spiro-OMeTAD is enough.展开更多
