Abstract

Methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3; MAPbI3) films were fabricated from sputtered lead sulfide (PbS) films prepared at various substrate temperatures according to the Thornton structural zone model. PbS films were converted to lead iodide (PbI2) and finally to MAPbI3 in a two-step gas-phase reaction. The increase in substrate temperature caused the morphology to change to fibrous interconnected grains, which played an important role in improving the optoelectrical properties of perovskite films. Moreover, enhanced charge transport of MAPbI3 films was observed owing to the fibrous interconnected PbI2 precursor, which was confirmed by a higher absorption coefficient and longer carrier lifetime.
