Abstract
This paper presents results of a study that allowed identifying states of traps in thin films of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite compounds based on methylammonium lead halide with different compositions CH3NH3PbX3 (X is Cl, Br or I) prepared by spin-coating, through Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC) measurements. Special emphasis was done in studying the influence of the composition and adsorption of oxygen on the depth of traps and on the density of states associated with trapping centers. Deconvolution of the TSC curves obtained from measurements made inside a vacuum chamber under different oxygen partial pressures, revealed the presence of traps centers whose activation energies are affected by the oxygen concentration. It was also found that TSC peaks do not appear in TSC measurements carried out at pressures less than 0.1 mbar, indicating that the possible nature of the identified traps centers is related to oxygen adsorbed superficially and/or located into the grain boundaries.
