Abstract
Pure methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskites are sensitive to moisture and processing conditions. MAPbI3 is comparatively more sensitive to moisture than FAPbI3; however, unlike FAPbI3, it does not show any non-perovskite phase at room temperature (RT). Although stabilization of FAPbI3-based perovskite through partial substitution of the A-site has been explored extensively, a similar strategy for MAPbI3 stabilization has not been explored much. We have partially substituted FA+ and Cs+ for MAPbI3 (forming Cs0.1FA0.15MA0.75PbI3 perovskite) to improve the structural and thermal stability. Adding Cs+ along with FA+ restricts the formation of any undesired phase, while the structure remained stable up to 1000 h when stored at 70 °C, thus improving structural and thermal stability. The device fabricated on spray-deposited TiO2 ETL realized PCE close to 16 %. The cells retained about 65 % of their original efficiency after ageing for 1000 h at 70 °C.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
