We investigate solution-processed low-temperature lead-halide perovskite solar cells employing deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA)–hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTMA) as the hole-transport layer and (6,6)-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as electron-acceptor layer in an inverted p–i–n device configuration. The perovskite solar cells utilizing a bio-based charge-transport layer demonstrate power conversion efficiency values of 15.86 %, with short-circuit current density of 20.85 mA cm−2, open circuit voltage of 1.04 V, and fill factor of 73.15 %, and improved lifetime. DNA-based devices maintained above 85 % of the initial efficiency after 50 days in air.
