Abstract

Mixed lead halide (Pb(I1-xBrx)2) as the seed layer was employed to prepare mixed lead-halide perovskite (MAPbI3-2xBr2x, MA=CH3NH3) films through two-step sequential deposition method. Ethanol treatment process was also introduced for the control of morphology and microstructure of Pb(I1-xBrx)2 films. The ethanol treatment accelerates the crystallization of Pb(I1-xBrx)2 and the resulted Pb(I1-xBrx)2 films exhibit a porous structure which facilitates more complete conversion of PbI2 at the same time. As a result, high purity and highly crystallized MAPbI3-2xBr2x films are obtained. The photovoltaic performance of assembled perovskite solar cells based on MAPbI3-2xBr2x films are improved upon ethanol treatment and a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.53% is obtained with x=0.2. After exposed in air condition for 14days, a 86% of initial PCE remains in the champion device.
