AB  - Fabricating electron transport layers at low temperatures is challenging but 
      highly desired in the field of flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs). In this 
      study, highly uniform cerium oxide (CeO (x) ) films prepared by the UV-O(3) 
      treatment have been successfully applied as the electron transport layer (ETL) in 
      methylammonium lead halide (CH(3)NH(3)PbI(3)) perovskite-based f-PSCs. Under AM 
      1.5 G sunlight with 100 mW cm(-2), these cells exhibited an open-circuit voltage 
      (V (oc)) of 0.98 V, a short-circuit current density (J (sc)) of 19.42 mA cm(-2), 
      a fill factor (FF) of 0.72 and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.63%. The 
      PCE was much higher than that of the control planar CeO (x) ETL (PCE  approximately  9.08%) 
      prepared at a low temperature (80  degrees C) without the UV-O(3) treatment, and this was 
      ascribed to the improved CeO (x) film, enhanced light absorption and suppressed 
      charge recombination. The cells that bend at 15 mm of radius showed excellent 
      stability with less than 10% reduction in PCE after 500 cycles of repeated 
      bending at ambient temperature. The charge-transmission kinetic parameters and 
      long-term stability of the CeO (x) -based f-PSCs were analyzed as well.
