Abstract

Understanding the origin of intrinsic instability of metal halide perovskites is indispensable for their advancement in opto-electronic applications. Here, we report a photomechanically accelerated degradation mechanism of perovskite thin films, in which the lattice expansion driven by light illumination has been found to govern the degradation kinetics. The dynamic lattice evolution under illumination causes crowding of the perovskite grains, leading to large local strains near the grain boundaries (GBs), which thereby facilitates defect formation and iodine component loss in the region. We show that the physical separation of each perovskite grain using trans-polyisoprene (TPI) could circumvent photomechanical damage at the GBs, achieving a T97 of 1000 h under continuous one-sun illumination at 55 °C in solar cell devices. Our results emphasize the nontrivial role of dynamic lattice deformation in the decomposition of perovskite thin films and open up new possibilities to further improve the intrinsic stability of solar cells.

钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电加速降解
了解金属卤化物钙钛矿本征不稳定性的来源对其在光电应用中的进步是必不可少的。在这里,我们报道了钙钛矿薄膜的光力学加速降解机制,其中光照明驱动的晶格膨胀控制了降解动力学。光照下的动态晶格演化使钙钛矿晶粒在晶界附近密集分布着较大的局部应变,有利于晶界附近缺陷的形成和碘组分的损失。我们发现,使用反式聚异戊二烯(TPI)对钙钛矿颗粒进行物理分离可以避免GBs下的光力学损伤,并在太阳能电池器件中在55°C的连续一次太阳照射下获得1000 h的T97。目前的结果强调了动态晶格变形在钙钛矿薄膜分解中的重要作用,并将为进一步提高太阳能电池的内在稳定性开辟新的可能性。
