Abstract

AbstractLow bandgap lead‐tin halide perovskites are predicted to be candidates to maximize the performance of single junction and tandem solar cells based on metal halide perovskites. In spite of the tremendous progress in lab‐scale device efficiency, devices fabricated with scalable techniques fail to reach the same efficiencies, which hinder their potential industrialization. Herein, a method is proposed that involves a template of a 2D perovskite deposited with a scalable technique (blade coating), which is then converted in situ to form a highly crystalline 3D lead‐tin perovskite. These templated grown films are alloyed with stoichiometric ratio and are highly oriented with the (l00) planes aligning parallel to the substrate. The low surface/volume ratio of the obtained single‐crystal‐like films contributes to their enhanced stability in different environments. Finally, the converted films are demonstrated as active layer for solar cells, opening up the opportunity to develop this scalable technique for the growth of highly crystalline hybrid halide perovskites for photovoltaic devices.
