The high efficiency of perovskite solar cells strongly depends on the quality of perovskite films and carrier extraction layers. Here, we present the results of an investigation of the photoelectric properties of solar cells based on perovskite films grown on compact and mesoporous titanium dioxide layers. Kinetics of charge carrier transport and their extraction in triple-cation perovskite solar cells were studied by using transient photovoltage and time-resolved photoluminescence decay measurements. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the crystallinity of the perovskite films grown on mesoporous titanium dioxide is better compared to the films grown on compact TiO2. Mesoporous structured perovskite solar cells are found to have higher power conversion efficiency mainly due to enlarged perovskite/mesoporous -TiO2 interfacial area and better crystallinity of their perovskite films.
