Abstract

The photovoltaic performance of lead halide-based perovskite materials has been growing at an unprecedented rate. The current certified efficiency of perovskite solar cell is found to be 26.70% using solution processable technology, which makes it a potential candidate to replace expensive, commercialized polycrystalline-silicon-based photovoltaic technology. In the work described herein, we developed a suitable approach for synthesis of methylammonium iodide (CH₃NH₃I, MAI) using NH₄OH and HI and CH₃OH as precursors. x-Ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) characterization techniques were used to analyze structural and morphological properties of synthesized CH₃NH₃I. The XRD pattern confirmed the formation of CH₃NH₃I phase. The FESEM images displayed the micron-cuboid-like morphology of the synthesized MAI. The CH₃NH₃PbI₃ (MAPbI₃) conventional perovskite was developed through mixing of synthesized MAI and PbI₂. The formed MAPbI₃ perovskite exhibited excellent optoelectronic properties. The assembled perovskite solar cell showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.01% using synthesized MAI. These results suggest that the synthesized MAI was successfully developed using a novel approach, which is promising for large-scale production of conventional perovskite solar cells.

一种用于新兴钙钛矿基光伏电池的甲基碘化铵生产新方法

卤化铅基钙钛矿材料的光伏性能一直以前所未有的速度增长。目前钙钛矿太阳能电池的认证效率为26.70%，使用溶液可加工技术，这使其成为取代昂贵的商业化多晶硅基光伏技术的潜在候选人。在本文所述的工作中，我们开发了一种以NH4OH、HI和CH3OH为前驱体合成甲基碘化铵（CH3NH3I， MAI）的合适方法。采用x射线衍射（XRD）和场发射扫描电镜（FESEM）表征技术对合成的CH3NH3I进行了结构和形态表征。XRD谱图证实了CH3NH3I相的形成。FESEM图像显示合成的MAI具有微米长方体样的形貌。将合成的MAI与PbI2混合制备CH3NH3PbI3 （MAPbI3）常规钙钛矿。形成的MAPbI3钙钛矿具有优异的光电性能。使用合成的MAI组装的钙钛矿太阳能电池的功率转换效率（PCE）为8.01%。这些结果表明，采用一种新的方法成功地合成了MAI，这对于大规模生产传统钙钛矿太阳能电池是有希望的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM) reports monthly on the science and technology of electronic materials, while examining new applications for semiconductors, magnetic alloys, dielectrics, nanoscale materials, and photonic materials. The journal welcomes articles on methods for preparing and evaluating the chemical, physical, electronic, and optical properties of these materials. Specific areas of interest are materials for state-of-the-art transistors, nanotechnology, electronic packaging, detectors, emitters, metallization, superconductivity, and energy applications. Review papers on current topics enable individuals in the field of electronics to keep abreast of activities in areas peripheral to their own. JEM also selects papers from conferences such as the Electronic Materials Conference, the U.S. Workshop on the Physics and Chemistry of II-VI Materials, and the International Conference on Thermoelectrics. It benefits both specialists and non-specialists in the electronic materials field. A journal of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
