Abstract

Correction for ‘Degradation conceptualization of an innovative perovskite solar cell fabricated using SnO₂ and P3HT as electron and hole transport layers’ by P. Vijendar Reddy et al., New J. Chem., 2022, https://doi.org/10.1039/d2nj02274e.

The authors regret that the author affiliations in the original article were incomplete. The correct author affiliations are shown in this correction notice.

Additionally, Table 3 in the main manuscript was missing an entry in the device architecture column of the table. The device architecture for entry 2 in the table should read ‘’ ITO/compact TiO₂ + C60/CH₃NH₃PbI_3−xCl_x/dopedP3HT/MoO₃/Ag.’’ The correct version of Table 3 is given below.

Table 1 Different device parameters and reported lifetime without encapsulation and device structures reported in the literature using P3HT as the HTL and silver as the electrode in perovskite solar cells
