Abstract

Compositional engineering of mixed halides is an effective approach to fabricate highly efficient perovskite solar cell. The mixed halide perovskite of MAPbI3-xClx attracts a great of attentions due to its excellent optoelectronic properties. However, the role of chlorine in MAPbI3-xClx is still under discussion by now. Here we introduce PbCl2 as additives into PbI2/DMF solution to study its effects on the formation of MAPbI3-xClx film, which is fabricated from Lewis acid-base adducts through a modified two step method. We demonstrate that the chloride ions have positive roles in fabrication of high quality perovskite MAPbI3-xClx films, characterized by high crystallization, strong grain orientation, large grain size and lower trap densities. Compared to perovskite solar cells without chloride incorporation, the performance of solar cells based on MAPbI3-xClx improves significantly due to its high carrier mobility, efficient carrier transportation and low recombination in device.
