Abstract
A photovoltaic device comprises a PIN structure in which a p-type hole transporting layer () is carried by a substrate () and a perovskite layer () and an n-type electron transporting layer () are arranged in sequence on the p-type layer. A light transmissive electrically conductive layer () is provided on top of the n-type electron transporting layer to form a light receiving top surface. Between the n-type electron transporting layer and the light transmissive conductive layer there is provided a structure comprising two inorganic electrically insulative layers () having a layer of a conductive material () therebetween, wherein the two inorganic electrically insulative layers comprise a material having a band gap of greater than 4.5 eV and the layer of a conductive material comprises a material having a band gap of less than the band gap of the electrically insulative layers, wherein each electrically insulative layer forms a type-1 offset junction with the layer of conductive material.
