Abstract
The perovskite film prepared by the two-step spin coating method is widely used in photovoltaic devices due to its good film morphology and great reproducibility. However, there usually exists excessive lead iodide (PbI2) in the perovskite film for this method, which is believed to passivate the grain boundaries (GBs) to increase the efficiency of the perovskite solar cells. Nevertheless, the excessive PbI2 at the GBs of perovskite is believed to induce the decomposition of the perovskite film and undermine the long-term stability of devices. In this study, we utilize precursor engineering to realize the preparation of perovskite solar cells with high efficiency and stability. The concentration of organic salts (AX: A = MA+, FA+; X = I−, Cl−) in the precursor solution for the second step of the two-step spin coating method is adjusted to optimize the perovskite light-absorbing layer so that the excessive PbI2 is converted into perovskite to obtain a smooth and pinhole-free perovskite film with high performance. Our results indicate that by adjusting the concentration of AX in the precursor solution, PbI2 in the film could be completely converted into perovskite without excessive AX residue. Both the efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cells without excessive PbI2 have been significantly improved. A planar perovskite solar cell with the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.26% was achieved, maintaining about 90% of the initial PCE after 300 h of storage in a dry air environment and in the dark, about 76% of the initial PCE after 300 h of continuous illumination of 1 Sun.
