Abstract

Organic cations help in executing better crystal growth of halide perovskites. Herein, we have realized improved all-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite film quality with reduced pinholes and high crystallinity in phenylethylammonium (PEA+) assisted perovskite. Additionally, PEA+ cation acts as an additive to control intermediate perovskite phase and executes pure phase perovskite crystal growth as compared to MA+ and FA+ cations assisted perovskite films. X-ray photoelectron and UV–vis spectroscopy results revealed that adding PEA+ in the perovskite helps in almost uniform distribution of Br− ion after post-annealing process. Furthermore, depth profiling analysis reveals that PEA+ in the intermediate phase perovskite interacts more with the ZnO layer beneath perovskite, which helps in the fabrication of compact film. PEA+ sublimates after post-annealing treatment of 300 °C, as no evidence of PEA+ existence was found in characterizations for post-annealed perovskite films. This brings multiple benefits to inorganic mixed halide perovskite film formation. The best performing perovskite solar cell (PSC) exhibits a high conversion efficiency of 14.75% as well as enhanced stability of maintaining almost 83% of its initial efficiency for 400 h. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and space-charge-limited current results suggests reduced recombination loss and defect densities in PEA+ assisted PSC.
