Abstract
The crystallographic orientation of perovskite crystals significantly influences their photoelectric performance and associated photovoltaic devices. The classic perovskite (MAPbI3) films based on solution processing usually suffer from chaotic orientations. The impact of preferential crystallographic orientation of MAPbI3 thin films on the carrier transport is still far from being well understood. In comparison with the (011) and (111) facets, our density functional theory results revealed that the hole carrier in the (001) facet exhibits superior carrier transport properties. Herein, the highly oriented (001) FAPbI3 could serve as growth templates and promote the (002) orientations of MAPbI3 perovskite. Furthermore, the p-type doping in MAPbI3 was obtained by controlling the amount of MAI. The (002)-dominated MAPbI3 perovskite with p-type characteristics exhibits exceptional carrier transport properties, thereby enhancing device performance.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
