Abstract

We demonstrate antisolvent vapor assisted diffusion as a unique technique for controlled nucleation and better crystallization of methylammonium lead iodide, perovskite absorber film for solar cell applications. Our observations also suggest that due to non-covalent weak interaction between the perovskite absorber and the high boiling point antisolvent, Ethylacetate (EA), a new microstructured morphology (micro-rods) evolves in the film, which we report for the first time. It is believed that the changed morphology of the mesoporous films for the high boiling point antisolvent, exhibits better fill factor and results in 32% enhancement of power conversion efficiency than the low boiling point antisolvent, Dichloromethane (DCM), diffused and as-deposited films, thereby suggesting one more parameter to achieve better device performance.
