Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Renewable Energy
  • Photovoltaics

Background:

  • The two-step sequential deposition is common for CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
  • Photovoltaic performance variations were previously linked to PbI2 conversion efficiency.
  • This study investigates an alternative approach using solvent vapor annealing (SVA) for PbI2 precursor preparation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the performance inconsistencies in PSCs prepared by sequential deposition.
  • To explore the impact of dipping time on PSC performance beyond simple conversion efficiency.
  • To develop an improved method for fabricating high-quality perovskite films.

Main Methods:

  • Solvent vapor annealing (SVA) to create large-grain PbI2 crystallites.
  • Investigating the effect of increased PbI2 dipping time in CH3NH3I solution.
  • Utilizing UV-vis absorption, X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, and SEM for material characterization.
  • Implementing a multistep dipping-drying process for enhanced crystalline quality.

Main Results:

  • Increased dipping time reduced PSC performance despite similar PbI2/CH3NH3PbI3 content.
  • Abnormal performance reduction attributed to intercalation/deintercalation and doping effects.
  • Formation of a CH3NH3PbI3 capping layer observed on the film surface.
  • The multistep dipping-drying method yielded a power conversion efficiency of 11.4%.

Conclusions:

  • Dipping time in sequential deposition affects PSC performance through complex intercalation mechanisms, not just conversion.
  • SVA is effective for preparing high-quality PbI2 precursors.
  • The multistep dipping-drying process offers a viable alternative for improving perovskite film crystallinity and device efficiency.
