The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has increased rapidly over the past ten years, and this has been primarily achieved through optimizing several key aspects of the device. Device architecture optimization involves designing the various layers and interfaces of the PSC to maximize the absorption of light, minimize losses due to recombination, and optimize charge transport. The electron transporting layer in nip architecture is also important component in the fabrication of high-efficiency PSCs. Another important aspect is the uniform thin film deposition process. The quality and uniformity of the perovskite layer can greatly affect the device performance, and optimizing the deposition process can help to ensure a high-quality perovskite layer. For example, the addition of methylammonium chloride (MACl) can significantly enhance the crystallinity and homogeneity of the perovskite film, leading to improved device performance. The mechanism behind the improved performance is thought to be related to the role of MACl in controlling the crystallization process of the perovskite. We have focused on research to further expand the role of MACl. In this presentation, I would like to mainly introduce the results of our recent work on the eco-friendly coating of FAPbI3 perovskite thin films using alkylammonium chlorides and their role in stabilizing the a-phase and improving crystallinity.
