A Method for the Preparation of Highly Oriented MAPbI3 Crystallites for High-Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells to
Abstract:
The quality of the perovskite absorber is known to be the most crucial parameter for the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells. By combining the one-step anti-solvent engineering method followed by gas blowing, MAPbI3 film containing highly oriented multi-crystalline nanograins (150∼500 nm) was made first. A user-friendly, simple, large-throughput, and reproducible post-solvent annealing (made by treating the film with anti-solvent containing H2O under spinning) was used to enlarge the perovskite grains up to 1.5 μm. Inverted (p-i-n) perovskite solar cells based on this highly ordered, large-grain MAPbI3 film achieve the highest efficiency of 21% with an extremely high fill factor (FF) of 86%. The high-efficiency cell shows almost no current hysteresis and is stable under 1 sun illustration in a glovebox or standing in the ambient atmosphere (20∼25 °C, ca. 30% humidity) under room lighting (T5 lamp, 500 lux). A creative method combining the gas blowing with quick and simple post-treatment to prepare a highly oriented MAPbI3 film with large multi-crystalline grains to achieve excellent photovoltaic performance was demonstrated. This creative film-preparation method was also successfully applied to fabricate large area MAPbI3 film for high-efficiency perovskite mini-modules. Being able to control the crystallization and growth of perovskite crystallites definitely makes the fabrication of perovskite solar cells more reproducible.

Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
