Heterogeneous TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ composites were employed as a mesoporous scaffold in formamidinium lead trihalide (FAPbI₃–ₓClₓ)-based perovskite solar cells to modify surface properties of a mesoporous layer. It was found that the quality and morphology of the perovskite film were strongly affected by the TiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratio in the mesoporous film. The conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell was improved by using a composite of TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ in comparison with TiO₂- and Al₂O₃-based cells, yielding 11.0% for a cell with a 7:3 TiO₂/Al₂O₃ composite. Our investigation shows a change of electron transport path depending on a composition ratio of insulating Al₂O₃ to n-type semiconducting TiO₂ in a mesoporous layer.
