Abstract
Compositional engineering related to the organic and inorganic cations (A-site) in halide perovskites solar cells has helped improve efficiency and long-term durability. However, this compositional complexity can lead to phase segregation that weakens the optoelectronic performance. Here, we show the halide distribution and cation distribution by means of synchrotron-based nanoprobe x-ray fluorescence. We find that the halide distribution homogenizes upon the addition of CsI and RbI precursors. The halide homogenization coincides with long-lived charge carrier decays. Additionally, we observe Rb-rich areas that phase segregate within the film and the Rb aggregates are identified to be recombination active using X-ray and E-beam induced current microscopy.
