Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite is regarded as a promising material for photovoltaic technology due to its suitable band gap, high absorption coefficient, long carrier diffusion length and high bipolar transport mobility. To date, the commonly used precursor for perovskite is lead iodide (PbI2), which is dissolved in toxic dimethylformamide (DMF) to facilitate filming. However, this toxic process inhibits the potential of perovskite solar cell on practical application. Herein, we study an eco-friendly system to sequentially electrodeposit lead iodide (PbI2) film on TiO2/FTO glass from a DMF-free ethanol/water based solution, then convert PbI2 into MAPbI3 by dipping it into MAI/IPA solution. In this report, the electrodeposited PbI2 and MAPbI3 films are characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The correlation between lead iodide (PbI2) morphology and electrodeposition condition are established. Preliminary test on perovskite solar cell fabricated using this method is also reported.
