Abstract
AbstractMetal halide perovskite single crystals are promising for diverse optoelectronic applications. As a universal issue of solution‐grown perovskite single crystals, surface contamination causes adverse effect on material properties and device performance. Herein, learning from the self‐cleaning effect of lotus leaf, we address the surface contamination issue by introducing an amphiphilic long‐chain organic amine into the perovskite crystal growth solution. Self‐assembly of CTAC provides a hydrophobic crystal surface, inducing spontaneous removal of residual growth solution, which results in clean surface and better optoelectronic properties of perovskite single crystals. An impressive efficiency of 23.4 % is obtained, setting a new record for FAxMA1‐xPbI3 single‐crystal perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Moreover, our strategy also applies to perovskite single crystals with different morphology and composition, which may contribute to improvement of other single‐crystal perovskite optoelectronic devices.
