High‐quality non‐stoichiometric NiO x nanoparticles are synthesized by a facile chemical precipitation method. The NiO x film can function as an effective hole‐transport layer (HTL) without any post‐treatments, while offering wide temperature applicability from room temperature to 150 °C. A high efficiency of 9.16% is achieved in organic solar cells using the NiO x HTL. A better performance in a NiO x ‐based organic light‐emitting diode is observed, compared with a device using PEDOT:PSS.
