摘要： PbS quantum dots (QDs) have been extensively studied for photovoltaic applications thanks to their facile and low-cost fabrication processing and interesting physical properties such as size-dependent and tunable bandgap. However, the performance of PbS QDs based solar cells is highly sensitive to the humidity level in the ambient air, which is a serious obstacle toward its practical applications. Although it has been previously revealed that oxygen doping of the hole transporting layer (HTL) can mitigate the cause of this issue, the suggested methods to recover the device performance are time-consuming and relatively costly. Here, we report on a low-power oxygen plasma treatment as a rapid and cost-effective method to effectively recover the device performance and stability. Our optimization results show that a 10 min treatment is the best condition, resulting in an enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 6.9% for the as-prepared device to 9% for the plasma treated one. Moreover, our modified device shows long-term shelf-life stability.
