Abstract
Formamidine lead triiodide (FAPbI3) has received significant attention in the field of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) owing to its excellent optoelectronic properties and high thermal stability. However, the photoactive α-FAPbI3 perovskites are highly susceptible to degradation into non-perovskite δ-FAPbI3 phases especially under humid conditions, which severely diminishes the device performance of FAPbI3 PSCs. Here, we propose an interfacial seeding strategy for regulating crystallization and stabilizing α-FAPbI3 perovskites in humid air. By post-treating the antisolvent-free, air-processed perovskite wet film with inorganic cesium lead triiodide (CsPbI3) nanocrystals, a functional seed layer is formed that effectively mitigates the erosion by humid air while facilitating the conversion of intermediates to the α-FAPbI3 phase. The interfacial seed-modified FAPbI3 perovskite films exhibit improved crystal quality and denser morphology. As a result, the efficiency of all-air-processed carbon-based PSCs is improved from 15.90% for the control to 18.04%. In addition, the unencapsulated PSCs based on interfacial seed-modified FAPbI3 films show improved environmental stability compared to the control counterparts, maintaining 80% of its initial efficiency after 60 days.
