Abstract
Organic-inorganic halide perovskite films, fabricated by using the antisolvent method, have garnered intense attention for their application in high-efficiency and stable solar cells. These films characteristically develop periodic wrinkled microstructures. Previous research has indicated that macroscopic residual strain significantly influences the optoelectronic behaviors of these films. However, the detailed interplay between the wrinkled morphology, strain distribution, and local photophysical properties at the micro- and nanoscale has not been fully elucidated. Here, we explore the microscopic morphology-strain-property relationship within wrinkled perovskite films employing correlative micro-optical and nanoelectrical microscopy techniques. Microphotoluminescence (PL) mapping supplemented by in situ strain PL measurements identifies a heterogeneous spatial strain distribution across the microstructural hills and valleys. Additionally, light-intensity-dependent photoconductive atomic force microscopy reveals that valleys experiencing less compressive strain exhibit a lower conductivity and a higher propensity for ion migration. The findings underscore the potential of targeted strain engineering to optimize the performance and longevity of perovskite solar cells.
