Grain growth study of perovskite thin films prepared by flash evaporation and its effect on solar cell performance

Flash evaporation is a vacuum-based evaporation method that is particularly suitable to prepare perovskite films for solar cell devices. Growth pressure has been found to be a critical parameter for perovskite film growth. The transport-determined growth mechanism is discussed in detail. The dense M...

description Flash evaporation is a vacuum-based evaporation method that is particularly suitable to prepare perovskite films for solar cell devices. Growth pressure has been found to be a critical parameter for perovskite film growth. The transport-determined growth mechanism is discussed in detail. The dense MAPbI 3 films can be achieved only under a low growth pressure of 5 × 10 −3 Pa, while a rough surface covered by step-like grains and voids is found for MAPbI 3 films grown under a high Ar pressure of 10 Pa. In addition, we found that the presence of PbI 2 phase in the perovskite films could suppress the growth of the grain size; by using precursors with a high MAI/PbI 2 ratio, evaporated MAPbI 3 films with grain sizes larger than 500 nm can be achieved. The average power conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cells increased from 1.82% to 10.01% with increasing grain size, indicating the universal importance of controlling the perovskite grain size for the performance improvement of solar cells based on both solution and evaporated perovskite films. Flash-evaporated perovskite films with large grain sizes lead to high efficiency solar cell devices.
