Abstract:
CH3NH3PbI3-xBrx thin films with different Br contents were successfully prepared on TiO2 nanorod array using 1.7 M PbI2 · DMSO complex solution and 0.465 M CH3NH3x(x = Br, I) precursors with different CH3NH3Br contents (molar ratios) by sequential deposition method. The influence of CH3NH3Br contents on the chemical composition, crystallinity, optical absorption and surface morphology of the CH3NH3PbI3-xBrx thin films was systematically investigated, and the photovoltaic performance of the corresponding TiO2 nanorod array perovskite solar cells was evaluated. The results revealed that the CH3NH3PbI3-xBrx solar cells using CH3NH3x precursors with 5% CH3NH3Br exhibited the best photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.47%, along with an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.02 V, short-circuit photocurrent density (Jsc) of 20.99 mA · cm-2 and fill factor (FF) of 0.77, and the average PCE of 16.06 ± 0.52%, along with Voc of 1.02 ± 0.01 V, Jsc of 20.41 ± 0.58 mA · cm-2 and FF of 0.77 ± 0.01 under illumination of simulated AM 1.5 sunlight (100 mA cm-2).
