Abstract

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) toward practical application relies on high efficiency, long lifetime, low toxicity, and device up-scaling. To realize large-area PSCs, a green solution-bathing strategy is delivered to prepare high-performance PSCs. By utilizing 2-pentanol as a green solvent and formamidinium chloride (FACl) as a solute in the green solution-bathing process, perovskite films with enlarged grain sizes, improved crystallinity, and alleviated defect state density were obtained, resulting in the enhancement in the power conversion efficiency of PSCs. Coupled with 2-pentanol and FACl, both a champion efficiency of 21.03% for small cells (0.103 cm2) and an efficiency of over 18% for large size (1.00 cm2) were obtained based on the GSB process, which can outperform its counterpart made via the commonly used antisolvent-dropping method. In addition, a large perovskite film (5 cm × 5 cm) with obvious mirror effect was successfully prepared. Our innovative approach paves the way to promote device up-scaling of PSCs via an environmentally friendly technique.
