Abstract

The reaction toward MA Pb(I_1-xBr_x)₃ by the perovskite precursor is difficult to form a continuous film over a large area. In this paper, we develop a multisteps solvent-postannealing method based on a high-coverage MAPbI₃ film a template for preparing uniform and compact MAPb(I_1-xBr_x)₃ film with film-through large grain and uniform distribution of Br elements. The formed MAPbI₃ film must be annealed in the mixture vapor of dimethyl sulfoxide and aqueous HBr to achieve the simultaneous modification of composition and crystallinity, and then it has to be repaired further using CH₃NH₂ vapor annealing to eliminate the defects of the film surface and crystal grain boundaries. The corresponding perovskite solar cells (PSCs) yield a maximum power conversion efficiency of 17.23% with an open-circuit voltage (V_oc) of 1.025 V, a short-circuit current (J_sc) of 20.88 2 and a fill factor (FF) of 80.54%, based on a structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MAPb(I_1-x Br_x)₃/PC₆₁BM/Bphen/Ag, with an enhancement of 18% compared with that of the optimized MAPbI₃ PSCs because of the simultaneous increase in V_oc, J_sc, and FF. This paper provides a feasible and effective method to fabricate high-quality MAPb(I_1-x Br_x)₃ films for high-efficiency solar energy conversion devices.
