Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites have drawn great interest in the photovoltaic community owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties and facile synthesis. Over the last few years, impressive advancement has been made in the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells which has surged above 20%. Much of the focus has been on iodide-based perovskite solar cells, which display record efficiencies mostly because of high current densities. In comparison, bromide-based perovskites bring forth higher open-circuit voltage, which is of potential interest in tandem solar cells, and for driving water splitting reactions. I will demonstrate the preparation of good quality formamidinium lead bromide films and their application towards the fabrication of high photovoltage perovskite solar cells. For the deposition of formamidinium lead bromide films, a solution based sequential deposition method was employed. The resulting films were characterized structurally as well as morphologically, and to gain further insights regarding the charge carrier dynamics, time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy was explored. In summary, a comprehensive understanding achieved through various characterization techniques, which eventually led to the fabrication of formamidinium lead bromide perovskite solar cell yielding a high photovoltage will be presented.
