There are various methods to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells, in which additive engineering is a representative method to enhance the PCE by controlling the morphology, grain boundary, grain size, and density of defect states in the perovskite layer. We used a functional analog of methylammonium iodide as an additive to increase the grain boundary and grain size, it also passive the uncoordinated Pb2+ on the perovskite surface and grain boundaries. In the optimized sample with an additive, improved PCE of 20.5% (18.7% for the pristine sample) was successively demonstrated. In addition, the remnant anion of analog was identified at the perovskite grain boundaries evidenced by results of time-resolved photoluminescence, in situ X-ray diffraction, and in situ UV-Visible spectroscopy measurements. Temperature dependence behaviors of the additive provide an in-depth understanding of designing and selecting additives to increase the PCE and stability of the perovskite solar cells.
