Photovoltaic devices based on lead halide perovskites solar cells, have erupted as strong candidates to compete with already commercially available technologies. Significant efforts have been devoted towards the achievement of high efficiencies leading to 20.9 %, using methylammonium lead triiodide perovskites. Solvent engineering has proved as a key to obtain increased crystallinity of the perovskite layer.1 In this work the coordination ability of different solvents such as DMF, DMSO or GBL is systematically studied.2 It is shown that the coordination ability of the solvent plays a very important role. By controlling the coordination chemistry we show that highly efficient perovskites solar cells can be fabricated (18.6 %) in ambient conditions. This work demonstrates that efficient perovskite materials may be produced even in the absence of an inert atmosphere.
