报告摘要：Methylammonium lead iodide perovskite has exhibited some very interesting optoelectronic properties and solar cells made of this material have achieved extraordinary efficiency improvement in just a few years. In perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the perovskite film, usually a few hundred nanometer thick, serves the dual roles for both light absorption and charge transport, and thus is a critical functional component for the devices. The microstructure of the perovskite film has significant effects on the solar cell’s performance. Normal one-solution spinning coating produced a film consisting of non-uniform large rod shape perovskite grains and uneven coverage of the underneath substrate with a lot of pin-holes, resulting in a poor power conversion efficiency. The major reason for such a poor microstructure was due to slow supersaturation of the perovskite solution during the normal spin-coating process. A sequential deposition and a dual-source thermal evaporation technique were developed to overcome the mentioned problem. Our team has developed a novel processing technique that can produce flat and very uniform microstructures of perovskite thin films by spin-coating. Planar heterojunction solar cells constructed with these solution-processed perovskite thin films yielded a maximum power conversion efficiency of 16.2% under standard AM 1.5 conditions. This presentation will introduce this new processing technique and report our understandings for microstructural control of the perovskite films for achieving high power conversion efficiency.
