Three dimensional organic-inorganic trihalide perovskite have impressed the scientific community in the last few years due to its incredible photophysical properties, which allowed to reach values of power conversion efficiency (PCE) higher than 22%, coming close to the theoretical limit. Nevertheless, its long-term instability and in environmental conditions are factors that must be overcome for its future commercialization. A feasible alternative to solve this problem is to decrease the dimensionality of perovskite. In this work we report the fabrication of 2D and 2D/3D, perovskite solar cells, using a new cation different from those already extensively investigated, anilinium iodide. We investigated the effect that the temperature plays on the crystallization of this perovskite family and consequently on the efficiency of the devices. With a PCE of 7.63%, an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 818.59 mV and a short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 13.79 mA/cm2 for n = 5, we can highlight the great potential of anilinium salt and encourage further studies with this class of material.
