(a) Schematic of the multilayer electrode concept. The transparent front electrode assembly consists of a blocking layer (BL), a current collection layer (CCL) and a current transport layer (CTL). The rear electrode consists of a BL and a combined CCL/CTL layer. (b) Photo of a semi-transparent perovskite cell fabricated at ANU, which includes a front electrode assembly consisting of MoOx (BL), ITO (CCL) and a metal grid (CTL). The gridlines can be faintly seen running vertically across the cell.
