Over the last several years, inorganic-organic hybrid perovskites have shown dramatic achievements in photovoltaic performance and device stability via additive engineering. In addition to the role of antisolvents in solvent engineering processes to control nucleation and crystal growth, precursor-coordinating molecule interactions in solution are also affected by various additives. Therefore, additives contribute not only to the formation of uniform and dense cotings but also to efficiency and stability improvement due to defect concentration and passivation effect of the resultant perovskite film. Furthermore, as far as the fabrication of perovskite solar cells by the solution process is concerned, it is necessary to consider not only the chemical factors of the precursor solution but also the physical properties of the coating solution such as viscosity, evaporation rate of solvents, the wettability and penetration onto substrates. Fundamentals understanding of precursor solution chemistry with additives will be able to achieve further improved photovoltaic performance and device stability. Various additives such as a cation or an anion are capable of functioning as active species in improving the quality of perovskite films. In this presentation, structural evolution and function by additives such as a long alkylammonium halide and metal halide etc. will be presented.
