Abstract
Pure δ-formamidinium lead triiodide (δ-FAPbI3 ) single crystal for highly efficient perovskite solar cell (PCS) with long-term stability is prepared by a new method consisting of liquid phase reaction of FAI and PbI2 in N,N-dimethyl formamide and antisolvent crystallization using acetonitrile. In this method, the incorporation of any impurity into the crystal is excluded by the molecular recognition of the crystal growth site. This pure crystal is used to fabricate α-FAPbI3 inverted PSCs which showed excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE) due to much-reduced trap-states. The champion device exhibited a high PCE of 23.48% under the 1-Sun condition. Surface-treated devices with 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine showed a significantly improved PCE of 25.07%. In addition, the unencapsulated device maintained 97.22% of its initial efficiency under continuous 1-Sun illumination for 1,000h at 85°C in an N2 atmosphere ensuring long-term thermal and photo stabilities of PSCs, whereas the control device kept only 89.93%.
