Abstract: Disclosed is a moisture barrier film for an organic-inorganic hybrid photovoltaic cell which includes an ionic polymer. Also disclosed is an organic-inorganic hybrid photovoltaic cell including the moisture barrier film. The photovoltaic cell has a structure in which the moisture barrier film including an ionic polymer is formed on an absorber layer including an organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite compound.
