Since the ground-breaking report of the 9.7% efficient and 500 h-stable solid-state perovskite solar cell (PSC) in 2012 based on methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3), perovskite photovoltaics have been surged swiftly due to high power conversion efficiency (PCE) obtainable via facile fabrication procedure. As a result, a PCE of 25.7% was recorded in 2022. According to Web of Science, number of publications on PSCs increases exponentially since 2012, leading to the accumulated publications of more than 28,000 as of June, 2022. PSC is regarded as a game changer in photovoltaics because of low-cost and high efficiency surpassing the conventional high efficiency thin film technologies. High photovoltaic performance was realized by compositional engineering, device architecture and fabrication methodologies for the past 10 years. Toward theoretical efficiency over 30% along with long-term stability, exquisite control of light absorptivity and photo-excited charges is highly required, along with thermodynamic phase stability of alpha phase formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3). In this talk, light-morphology relation is discussed, where a specific crystal facet is found to have strong interaction with photon, leading to high photocurrent. Compressive strain via wrinkling process is found to control the top surface tensile strain of perovskite film, which is beneficial to charge carrier transport and lifetime. As a result, we could achieve a QSS-measured PCE approaching 25% under one sun illumination.
