To meet the challenge of continuously increasing global energy demands, organic-inorganic halide based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have garnered great attention from the photovoltaic research community for their low cost and high efficiency. The efficiency of perovskite-based mesoscopic solar cells increases rapidly, from 3.8% in 2009 to 22.1% in 2016. N-type metal-oxide electron transport layer, as one of the important components in mesoscopic PSCs (MPSCs), acts as not only a scaffold layer for the growth of perovskite crystals, but also a layer to supply transfer pathways for electrons injected from perovskites. In this review, we discussed recent published reports of MPSCs with the focus on n-type metal-oxide electron transport layer in MPSCs. The scaffold materials, scaffold nanostructure, and scaffold/perovskite interface engineering are considered, and the effects of these modifications of scaffolds on the performance of MPSCs are summarized in this review.
