However, the presence of defects and trap density within the active layer’s grain boundaries commonly operates as non-radiative recombination centers. Hence, intensive efforts have been reported to passivate the inevitable bulk and interface defects of the active layer using additives or post-treatment processing to enhance the efficiency and stability of PSCs. Herein, a facile post-treatment strategy based on wet processing methylammonium lead triiodide, MAPbI 3 (prepared from lead acetate and methylammonium iodide precursors) films with organic amine salts (FABr and FAI) is demonstrated. As a result, high-quality films of mixed per-ovskites (FA x MA 1-x PbI 3-x Br x and FA x MA 1-x PbI 3 ) were obtained. The surface treatment has efficiently passivate the defects in the host film, suppressing the non-radiative carrier recombination. Compared to the control device, the increased open-circuit voltage (from 0.5 V to 1 V) and fill factor (FF) values of the optimized device based on FA x MA 1-x PbI 3 showed a PCE of 16.13%. And our findings revealed that post-treatment is possible on wet perovskite film aged for a few minutes prior to its post-treatment, which saved the energy used for pre-annealing.","PeriodicalId":74238,"journal":{"name":"Nano select : open access","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46782883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
