Abstract
Semiconductor nanomaterials with controlled morphologies and architectures are of critical importance for high-performance optoelectronic devices. However, the fabrication of such nanomaterials on polymer-based flexible electrodes is particularly challenging due to degradation of the flexible electrodes at a high temperature. Here we report the fabrication of nickel oxide nanopillar arrays (NiO <sub>x</sub> NaPAs) on a flexible electrode by vapor deposition, which enables highly efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The NiO <sub>x</sub> NaPAs exhibit an enhanced light transmittance for light harvesting, prohibit exciton recombination, promote irradiation-generated hole transport and collection, and facilitate the formation of large perovskite grains. These advantageous features result in a high efficiency of 20% and 17% for the rigid and flexible PSCs, respectively. Additionally, the NaPAs show no cracking after 500 times of bending, consistent with the mechanic simulation results. This robust fabrication opens a new opportunity for the fabrication of a large area of high-performance flexible optoelectronic devices.
