To commercialize the PSCs, further improving the device performance without detrimentally changing the device configuration is important at present. Herein, Au@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) are introduced to modify the interface between mesoporous TiO2 (mp-TiO2) and mixed perovskite with increased main photovoltaic parameters of the device, resulting in a ≈29% enhancement of power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 15.8% to 20.3%. The origins of the enhancement have been studied by exploring the optical absorption, optical power distribution, and charge carrier behaviors within the system. The small perturbation transient photovoltage measurement exhibits prolonged charge carrier lifetimes after the Au@SiO2 NPs incorporation, and time of flight photoconductivity measurement shows that charge carrier mobilities of this system are also enhanced. These characteristics make metallic nanostructures a promising functional material in facile tuning of the charge carriers transport and further boosting the PCE of the PSCs.
