PbSe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are widely used in solar cells because of their tunable band gap, solution processability, and efficient multiple exciton generation effect. The most efficient PbSe CQD solar cells use high-temperature-processed ZnO as the electron transport layer (ETL), limiting their applications in flexible photovoltaics. Currently, low-temperature solution-processed SnO₂ has been demonstrated as an efficient ETL for high-efficient PbS CQD and perovskite solar cells because of less parasitic light absorption and higher electron mobility. Herein, we introduce low-temperature solution-processed SnO₂ as ETL for PbSe CQD solar cells, and fabricate the PbSe CQD absorber layer with a one-step spin-coating method. The champion device with the structure of FTO (SnO₂:F)/SnO₂/PbSe–PbI₂/PbS–EDT (1,2-ethanedithiol)/Au achieves a high open-circuit voltage of 577.1 mV, a short-circuit current density of 24.87 mA cm–², a fill factor of 67%, and an impressive power conversion efficiency of 9.67%. Our results pave the way for the development of low-temperature flexible PbSe CQD solar cells.
