Abstract

In this study, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) were fabricated using a two-step solution deposition method. A laser beam was applied at the interface between lead iodide (PbI2) and methylammonium iodide to change the reaction temperature and stimulate the growth of perovskite crystals. A notable enhancement was observed in the power conversion efficiency of PSCs. The laser scanning speed was investigated to control the reaction temperature and further control the crystallization and morphology of the perovskite film. Based on the optimized laser scanning speed, the best and average PCEs obtained were 14.33 % and 13.92 ± 0.52 %, respectively, which were higher than those achieved using the conventional technique (12.18 % and 11.37 ± 0.74 %, respectively) and the conventional heating methods (14.09 % and 13.28 ± 0.56 %, respectively). The optimal reaction temperature at the interface was predicted to be 80 °C under optimized conditions using the COMSOL software. This study will help in scaling this technique for large–area PSCs, optimizing the laser parameters for different perovskite compositions, and investigating the long-term stability of enhanced PSCs, boosting their commercial viability.
