Inverted perovskite solar cells consisted of ITO (Indium tin oxide) / NiOX (Nickel oxide) / FA0.84Cs0.12Rb0.04PbI3 perovskite (FA+ = Formamidinium ion)/ Additive /C60 / BCP(Bathocuproine) / Ag have been investigated and are highly stable for continuous 1 SUN illumination [1]. The role of additive at the interface of perovskite/ Additive /C60 (Electron transport layer) on the photovoltaic performance has been discussed [2-4]. In case of pentafluorophenylhydrazine (5F-PHZ) as additive, 5F-PHZ construct 2-dimensional (2D) perovskite grains at the interface [1]. Almost of other additives should interact with the vacancies of A or X site of ABX3 perovskite where A= methyl ammonium ion or FA+, B = Pb2+, X= Cl—, Br—, and I—. To explain the role of the additives, we choose ionic additives A+X—, where A+ and X— interact with vacancies of A and X sites of perovskite, respectively. We assumed that the vacancies of X— should not so influence on the charge recombination because the vacancies of X— moves as ion migration in perovskite layer with lower activation energy of ~0.3eV [5]. Therefore, we fixed the size of X— anion which is larger than the size in tolerance factor and selected various size of A+ cation. We estimated not only current density (J) – voltage (V) curves of these devices with various ionic additives but also the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of the perovskite solar cells by measuring the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and reflectance spectroscopy.
