Title: Defect Passivation of Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Perovskites by Diammonium Iodide toward High-Performance Photovoltaic Devices

Abstract

The polycrystalline feature of solutionprocessed perovskite film and its ionic nature inevitably incur substantial crystallographic defects, especially at the film surface and the grain boundaries (GBs). Here, a simple defect passivation method was exploited by post-treating CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) film with a rationally selected diammonium iodide. The molecular structure of the used diammonium iodide was discovered to play a critical role in affecting the phase purity of treated MAPbI3. Both NH3I(CH2)4NH3I and NH3I(CH2)2O(CH2)2NH3I (EDBE) induce three-dimensional (3D) to two-dimensional (2D) perovskite phase transformation during the treatment while only NH3I(CH2)8NH3I (C8) successfully passivates perovskite surface and GBs without forming 2D perovskite because of the elevated activation energy arising from its unique anti-gauche isomerization. In conclusion, defect passivation of MAPbI3 was clearly confirmed by scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) studies, which results in the reduced recombination loss in derived devices. Consequently, the perovskite solar cell with C8 passivation showed a much improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.60% compared to the control device PCE of 14.64%.
