Fabrication of mixed perovskite organic cation thin films via controllable cation exchange

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/27/2/024208

Abstract Here in this paper, we demonstrate a facile technique for creating the mixed formamidinium (HN=CHNH₃⁺, FA⁺) and methylammonium (CH₃NH₃⁺, MA⁺) cations in the lead iodide perovskite. This technique entails a facile drop-casting of formamidinium iodide (FAI) solutions on as-prepared MAPbI₃ perovskite thin films under the controlled conditions, which leads to controllable displacement of the MA⁺ cations by FA⁺ cations in the perovskite structure at room temperature. Uniform and controllable mixed organic cation perovskite thin films without a “bi-layered” or graded structure are achieved. By applying this approach to photovoltaic devices, we are able to improve the performances of devices through extending their optical-absorption onset further into the infrared region to enhance solar-light harvesting. Additionally, this work provides a simple and efficient technique to tune the structural, electrical, and optoelectronic properties of the light-harvesting materials for high-performance perovskite solar cells.

Keywords: organic-inorganic perovskitesolar cell morphology cation exchange drop-casting
