Fast and Controllable Electric‐Field‐Assisted Reactive Deposited Stable and Annealing‐Free Perovskite toward Applicable High‐Performance Solar Cells

Abstract

Recently, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite materials have drawn great attention for their outstanding performance in high‐efficiency solar cells. Successful synthesis has been realized either in solution‐based chemical deposition or vapor deposition. However, conflicts have never ceased among quality control, growth rate, process complexity, and instrument requirement, which have limited their development toward real applications. In this work, the first electrochemical fabrication of perovskite toward high‐efficiency and scalable perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is established. The morphology and crystallization of the CH3NH3PbI3 film can be effectively controlled by simply modulating a few physical parameters. A detailed study on its optoelectronic properties reveals significantly improved film quality and interfacial conditions. Aided by this, the total process does not require standard annealing, which greatly reduces the total growth time from hours to minutes. Up to now, an efficiency of 15.65% has been achieved in planar PSCs under 1 sun AM 1.5 condition, with small hysteresis and efficiency loss under longtime exposure to air. Moreover, high efficiency (10.45%) can be easily attained for large cells (2 cm2). This result will hopefully facilitate research for applicable high‐efficiency PSCs and other multicomponent materials as well.
