Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells have attracted lots of attention due to its excellent optical and electronic properties.The highest certified power conversion efficeincy (PCE) is over 22%. However, the organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite is very sensitive to the moisture, which would affect the long-term stability of devices. How to avoid the moisture degradation of perovskite material is a challenge problem. In this work, we develop a facile encapsulation technique to improve the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells. We introduce octadecylamine modfied graphene oxide (ODA-GO) as encapsulation materials and combine with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to form a conformalseal on the device. Because both materials are hydrophobic, they areeffective to prevent the moisture reacting with perovskite materials. We systematically study the relationship between the degree of ODA functionalization andthe moisture permeation of the ODA-GO.Finally, by optimizing the blending ratio of the ODA-GO/PDMS composite film, the stability of the solar cell can be greatly improved.
