Remanent solvent management engineering of perovskite films for PEDOT: PSS-based inverted solar cells

High coverage film could be obtained from precursor film PEDOT: PSS-based inverted perovskite solar cell, via decreasing the amount of residual DMSO or mediating the evaporation rate of DMSO with continuous gradient annealing (GA) process at 65°C–85°C (heating rate of 20°C/5 min).

Zusammenfassung:High coverage film could be obtained from precursor film PEDOT: PSS-based inverted perovskite solar cell, via decreasing the amount of residual DMSO or mediating the evaporation rate of DMSO with continuous gradient annealing (GA) process at 65°C–85°C (heating rate of 20°C/5 min). [Display omitted] •A remanent solvent management strategy was employed to prepare uniform film.•The influence of residual DMSO on the properties of the MAPbI3 film was investigated.•High device reproducibility was obtained with gradient thermal annealing. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been attracting tremendous attention due to ease of processing, flexibility, and high performance. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) are the two most widely used solvents to dissolve perovskite precursors. Here, we investigate the impact of residual amount and evaporation rate of the DMSO inside the precursor films on the microstructure of the ultimate perovskite films. We decouple the DMSO and DMF solvents and demonstrate that DMSO component exhibits great and dominant influence on the final film morphology by using quasi in-situ photoluminescence (PL) measurement and X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization of the wet films after spin-coating. Much more smooth and uniform perovskite films are obtained by careful management of remanent solvent, including decreasing residual amount by shelving the precursor films prior to heating and retarding the evaporation of the solvent via adopting a gradient annealing (GA) process. In consequence, the as-prepared PEDOT: PSS-based inverted PSCs yield a champion efficiency of 15.59% with high reproducibility. This work shows great potential in preparing high-quality perovskite films through a simple remanent solvent management engineering.
