The present invention discloses a conductive substrate, a perovskite substrate using the conductive substrate, and a solar cell using the perovskite substrate. The conductive substrate, the perovskite substrate, and the solar cell of the present invention include a conductive base and a conductive compound stacked on the conductive base. The conductive compound is represented by Formula 1, 2 or 3. The conductive compound is capable of multi-electron redox reactions, possesses p-type organic molecular properties, and has an oxidation potential or highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) matching the valence band of perovskite so that holes generated in an absorber layer are selectively separated for the application of the perovskite material, achieving enhanced photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell and a significantly reduced difference between the forward and reverse conversion efficiencies (hysteresis index) of the solar cell.
