Insulating oxides of SiO₂, ZrO₂, and Al₂O₃ were coated using a dipping method on the surface of mesoporous TiO₂ nanoparticles for perovskite solar cells. The effects of the insulating oxide coatings on the performance of the perovskite solar cells and the interface charge recombination dynamics were investigated in detail. The efficiency of devices after SiO₂ coating improved by 13.7% due to their FF (fill factor) increasing from 67.6% to 72.3%. However, the devices with ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃ coatings exhibited an increase in V_oc of up to 50 mV and a decrease in J_sc and FF. Transient absorption spectroscopy on a timescale from nanoseconds to milliseconds was performed to study the interface recombination lifetime between electrons and holes and the changes of the device performances are discussed.
